Spell cards.

The class was over before Harrison could even get back his lost focus.

'4 more hours of this... *Sigh... my school on Earth was better than this...', Harrison sighed.

Harrison decided to write down plans for his little heist to steal the spell cards during the classes.

He would write the plans in French, as no one in the world of Orion knew anything about the language, and he was quite decent at it as it was his third language.

'The first spell card looks like it's located in the alchemy practical laboratory... Getting that one won't be easy, since one of the female leads basically camp the place... Also, she was originally supposed to be one of the 'compromised women' in the story of Orion.', Harrison recalled.

'The second spell card... is in the shooting range... I remember it being a quest reward for completing a quest given by a teacher... You had to be a mage to be able to clear the quest... although, if you were good enough with basic spells, you would absolutely be able to clear it as well...'

'But... the teacher in question isn't some regular old teacher... no, she was a crazy woman who was obsessed with research and would go to far lengths to get material for her research. I need to be extra careful not to trigger any landmines there as well...'

'As for Seraphine and Sebastian... I better stay as far away from them as possible...', Harrison concluded.

With those thoughts in his mind, he started writing down his plans in his notebook to get the spell cards.

--- after 3 hours ---

'Let's get the alchemy lab spell card first... I like leaving the hard things for last...', Harrison concluded.

'Get in, take the card, get out... How difficult can it possibly be?', Harrison smiled shakily.

'It's gonna be extremely difficult... 90% of the alchemy lab students are female... and the previous Zagan has slept with at least 20% of them!!!! And he has also already targetted Diana, the second 'compromised woman'!!!!', Harrison cursed at his fate.

'My reputation as a fuck-boy has already spread in the alchemy lab... I REALLY don't want to make things worse for myself anymore... I need to avoid contact as much as possible, get the spell card and LEAVE!', Harrison yelled internally as he approached the gates of the laboratory.

Harrison took a deep breath and entered the lab.

'Whoa...', Harrison's mind fell into awe. The lab was huge and was filled with apparatus for chemistry. There were rows of desks with all sorts of instruments Harrison had never seen before. The shelves on all four walls of the lab were filled with all sorts of chemicals and potions.

Students, almost all female, were diligently working on their own desks.

Alchemy was very popular among women as it demanded delicate measurements, patience and a lot of care as well. Also, the first ever grandmaster alchemist was a woman, which made the job way more popular among women than men.

This wasn't Zagan's first time in the lab. He had visited the lab multiple times before. Although it wasn't for alchemy. It was to pick up the female researchers and fuck them.

'Disgusting...', Harrison clicked his tongue and started walking towards the highlighted spell card with the waypoint on it.

'Please... no one notice me-'

"Zagan?", a feminine voice pierced Harrison's ears.

'Goddamnit...'

"Zagan! It is you! How come you're in the lab? Oh... don't tell me... you miss me that much?", the girl with red hair and red eyes said tauntingly. Her lab coat did little to hide her mature figure.

"Hello... Eva...", Harrison recalled from the erotic drawings Zagan had made. Those drawings, quite surprisingly, proved to be extremely helpful to Harrison...

'The notes said... Eva was one of the first girls Zagan had slept with after entering the school... He described Eva as a 'slut with a few screws loose in her head'... Apparently, Eva was the daughter of some high-class prostitute from the red-light district of the city. She showed talent in potion making since she was taught to make aphrodisiacs for her mother's business from a very early age...'

'Insane backstory... Well, on the bright side... Her situation has certainly improved from being the potion factory of a brothel to a student of the world's most prestigious academy...'

"Hm? Why are you just blankly staring? Too stunned to speak?", Eva tilted her head and smirked.

"... Leave me alone. I'm here on business...", Harrison did not want to worsen the already abysmal situation he found himself in.

"Business? What, did you find another girl? Who is it? Tell me, I'll help you fuck her.", Eva whispered after closing the distance between Zagan and herself, clinging on to his arm, pressing her breasts and leaning close to Zagan's ear.

Harrison jolted away from her and glared at her.

"I already told you to leave me alone. Mind your own business... Your potion will get ruined at this rate.", Harrison said, pointing at Eva's desk.

Eva quickly looked back and ran towards her desk desperately, trying to save her potion from being overheated.

'And... the notes also mentioned that she was serious about her work as an alchemist... Zagan even described her to be a 'good-hearted person'...'

Anyhow, taking advantage of Eva's absence, Zagan power-walked towards the waypoint of the spell card.

But, of course, nothing will ever go as planned in this accursed world...

*BUMP*

"Ow!", a feminine voice pierced Zagan's ear once again.

Zagan looked down at the girl on the floor as she rubbed her head.

'Black hair... petite body... and average height... Goddamnit... It's Diana!', Harrison whined.

Of all the people he could have bumped into... It just had to be Diana... the second 'compromised woman'...
