Chapter 29: 29. It’s Time To Go For The Little Sister (For More Power)

Even though he only got three hours of sleep, Rex woke up feeling completely refreshed.

“Heck yeah~! Good morning, world!” Rex said while stretching both his arms.

Twenty rounds again… as usual.

Now that Garrett was asleep, he would go to Mara’s room every time.

Rex had put them right next to the wall that separated Lily’s room from theirs, knowing that the younger Starlight daughter would hear everything. Last night was especially intense.

And she did. Rex could tell she was on the other side of the wall because he could hear her breathing change and feel the energy change when someone was trying hard to stay quiet while listening to something they knew they shouldn’t.

Corruption at its best… Just like he planned from the start, until she becomes someone who wants to say it to him.

[DESIRE ENERGY GENERATED: 150 POINTS]

[CURRENT TOTAL: 200 POINTS]

[MARA KESSON REMAINS AT DESIRE MAXIMUM]

[CONTINUED ENCOUNTERS GENERATING CONSISTENT ENERGY]

“WHAT THE FUCK!?” Rex gets ragebaited just by seeing the 150 points.

“Why is it so low!? I remember I fucked Mara for ten rounds, and I got a whopping 1000 points, but now 150?!”

“That’s a fucking scam right there.”

[YOU CAN’T ABUSE DESIRE ENERGY WITH THE SAME PERSON EACH TIME]

[YOU JUST NEED A DIFFERENT WOMAN OR GIRL SO THAT YOUR DESIRE ENERGY CAN KEEP ON GENERATING WITH THE HUGE AMOUNT YOU WANT]

“Fuck…! Then that means I really have to make Lily’s mine… but still… 150 points is not that bad if I could do it every day with Mara.”

“But still… two hundred points is high enough, but probably not enough for another overpowered skill yet, but it’s getting close.” Rex opened his system interface and looked over the options for manifestations that he had already seen.

He had the full potential of telekinesis, which was probably the most useful power he could have chosen. However, this power had a flaw that required him to react, anticipate threats, and decide whether to defend or attack.

He needed something that would keep him safe in every single situation he could think of in the future.

“Seems like I know my next power…”

“System,” Rex said softly. “Show me how to use precognition. This is especially relevant for those who employ telekinesis during combat.”

[ANALYZING REQUEST]

[PRECOGNITION ABILITIES AVAILABLE]

[BASIC DANGER SENSE: 100 ENERGY]

[INTERMEDIATE COMBAT PREDICTION: 300 ENERGY]

[ADVANCED TACTICAL FORESIGHT: 600 ENERGY]

[FORESIGHT (FULL POTENTIAL): 800 ENERGY]

Rex chose the last option. “Tell me about Foresight when it is at its full potential.”

[FORESIGHT (FULL POTENTIAL)]

[ABILITY TO PREDICT MOVEMENT AND ATTACKS]

[RANGE: ALL HOSTILE ACTIONS WITHIN 100 METERS]

[PREDICTION TIME: 3-5 SECONDS ADVANCE WARNING]

[SYNERGY WITH TELEKINESIS: PERFECT DEFENSE POSSIBLE]

[INSTINCTIVE INTEGRATION]

[COST: 800 ENERGY]

The full potential for foresight requires eight hundred points, but he was six hundred points short. However, this ability would make him nearly unbeatable in battle.

He could defend against anything with telekinesis to move things around and foresight to see attacks that are coming.

Rex asked, “How many more times do I need to fuck Mara to reach eight hundred?”

[CURRENT: 200 ENERGY]

[NEEDED: 800 ENERGY]

[DEFICIT: 600 ENERGY]

[AT 150 ENERGY PER SESSION: 4 MORE ENCOUNTERS REQUIRED]

[ESTIMATED TIME: 4-5 DAYS AT CURRENT RATE]

[UNLESS YOU FUCK SOMEONE NEW]

Four more days to go or fuck a new girl… That actually would work for Rex, who can get the benefits for his libido as well.

He would keep getting to know the Starlight women and getting ready for the most chaos possible in the meantime. “I need to think of another plan to make Lily’s desire max out.”

He put on his clothes and went downstairs. The common room was empty except for one person.

Lily sat at a table by the window. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were wrinkled like she’d thrown them on quickly.

Her hands shook a little as she held a cup of tea, and dark circles were under her eyes. When Rex walked in, she looked up, and her face turned bright red.

“Morning,” Rex said as he walked toward the kitchen.

“Ahh…! I… I have to…” Lily stammered, then almost ran to the bathroom without finishing her sentence.

Rex smiled as he watched her leave. She had definitely heard everything that happened last night.

She probably hadn’t slept at all, lying awake and replaying what she’d witnessed. The sounds of Mara’s pleasure, Rex’s control, and the intense closeness of two people who couldn’t get enough of each other echoed in her mind.

All of it was messing with Lily’s innocent mind and changing how she thought about relationships and desire.

[LILY VON STARLIGHT: DESIRE LEVEL 35/100 → 48/100]

[STATUS: OBSESSION BEGINNING]

[OBSERVATION: SUBJECT EXPERIENCING INTENSE AROUSAL]

[OBSERVATION: SUBJECT’S RESISTANCE CRUMBLING]

[WARNING: RAPID DESIRE INCREASE DETECTED]

“Ohh…? Seems like my plan worked… she’s probably enjoying herself while hearing us fuck like wild animals.”

“What a poor girl…”

Forty-eight percent after just one night of listening. The corruption was moving along faster than Rex had thought it would, which was excellent.

If things keep going this way, Lily will be his by the end of the week. And Rex didn’t want Lily to be his by the end of the week because he needed foresight to initiate a larger plan that could create chaos.

But for now… Rex prepared a simple breakfast, and gradually, other people began to come downstairs. Mara came in looking pleased and full of energy.

She gave Rex a private smile that promised a good night. Garrett came downstairs yawning and said that Mara had been sleeping well lately.

If only he knew…

And then, the Starlight party came together, with Elliot as excited as ever, Diana focused and ready for training, Helena looking elegant and calm, and Evelyn always on guard.

Lily came out of the bathroom looking a little better but still clearly frustrated. She didn’t look at Rex at all.

Instead, she focused on her breakfast.

“Are you okay, my dear little sister?” Elliot asked with brotherly worry. “You’re looking tired.”

“I… I’m fine,” Lily said quickly. “I just… didn’t get enough sleep because of an… odd dream.”

“Dreams, huh?” Rex asked innocently. “Those can get pretty intense at times.”

“Especially the ones that are very clear.” Rex clearly says that intentionally.

Lily’s face turned red, and she almost choked on her tea.

Helena looked worried at her daughter. “You might want to take a break from training today, dear…”

Lily answered too forcefully, “N-N-No!” and then changed her tone. “I-I… mean… I’m okay…! For real…!”

“Training will help me freshen up, probably…”

…

The morning session went as planned. Rex took part in combat drills, making sure to do adequately but not outstandingly.

He used his telekinesis in small ways to make his reflexes and reactions just flawless enough to look like he was naturally gifted.

Elliot was once again impressed. “Rex, your improvement curve is amazing!”

“Most students stop improving after the first few days, but you keep getting better and better! I know that someday you’ll be a hero just like me.”

“Rex shrugged and said, “It all came from a positive motivation. Plus, I’m listening to everything you say.”

Rex continued in his mind. “Other than the hero part, of course… that shit is plain-ass boring anyway.”

Lily came up to him during a break for water. She looked like she had gotten her courage up, but her cheeks were still red.

She asked softly, “C-Can we talk… after training?”

“Of course,” Rex said. “Is everything going on okay with you, Lily?”

“Yes… uh… no…! M-Maybe… I don’t know.” She looked very unhappy. “I just need to talk to someone for a moment.”

“No worries. I’m always here for you.”

It hurt to see how thankful she was.

After that little talk, Diana and Rex continued practicing archery in the afternoon. Rex had found that he was naturally good at it, or maybe his telekinesis was guiding his arrows without him knowing it.

In either case, he hit the center of the target most of the time.

Diana said, “Oh wow! That’s a great form you have there, Rex.”

“You’re wasting your skills as an inn worker if you can do that, you know? Have you ever thought about joining an adventuring group?”

“Maybe… someday,” Rex said. “For now, I am happy to learn and improve so that I can be ready!”

Rex saw Lily looking at him all day long. But this time, instead of looking away right away, she held his gaze for a little longer.

And those looks had a hungry quality to them, as if they were confused, desperate, and wanting about something deep inside her.

The corruption was spreading very well, and it made Rex smirk.

But not just that moment… there’s also a moment where Lily sat too close to Rex during magical theory with Helena.

She paid close attention to everything he said and asked. And twice, when she reached for the same reference book, her hand stayed on his for a few heartbeats longer than it should have if it was an accident.

[LILY VON STARLIGHT: DESIRE LEVEL 48/100 → 52/100]

[STATUS: OBSESSION INTENSIFYING]

[OBSERVATION: SUBJECT INITIATING PHYSICAL CONTACT]

[OBSERVATION: SUBJECT’S BEHAVIOR BECOMING RECKLESS]

“Heh… fifty-two percent… This girl was falling fast for me…” Rex said in his mind.

Her inexperience and sheltered upbringing make her vulnerable to this kind of manipulation. Rex had done almost nothing but be kind and exist, and she was already halfway to being completely devoted.

After training was over and everyone went their separate ways to get ready for dinner, Lily grabbed Rex’s sleeve.

“Can we walk now…?” she asked. “Please?”

“Sure… take the lead.” Rex nodded.

They went the same way as before, into the thin woods away from town. Lily was quiet for a long time, obviously having trouble figuring out how to start.

Finally, she said, “I… heard you again… last night.”

Rex simply said, “I know.”

She gave him a sharp look with a shocked face. “Y-You know?”

“The walls are thin, you know? You weren’t exactly quiet about it…”
