"Master, I'll take the usual seat."
My daily routine was to stop by a cheap bar after work. It's not a prominent place, but its hustle and bustle put me at ease.
My name is Theophil Krause, and I work as a court wizard. As the noun "court" implies, I'm in the service of the state. Well, just think of it as a reasonably high-ranking job from the government itself.
"I see that you're here again today. Mr. Krause."
"Master, the usual."
I said as I gave the guy a tip. This way, I can get useful information and service from him from time to time.
"You're an odd one, aren't you? You are a young man in your twenties, but you already became an excellent court wizard. You could always go to a better bar, you know?"
Mind you, this is the actual barmaster that's pointing this out. I can't say he's wrong, though. I work as a court wizard, and I make a fair amount of money, enough to go to a more upscale bar if I want.
But there's a reason I prefer the cheap bars.
That's because they attract a lot of "easy" women.
Though this may sound presumptuous, as it's coming from me, but I've grown up as a genius at sorcery since I was in school. Women tell me that I have a neat face, which, combined with my background, has often allowed me to easily hold women to my embrace.
Of course, working high up had its fair share of troubles. Although I work diligently during the day, being part of a respected organization, I have to communicate with people in high positions, and more often than not I have to deal with idiots. There's the rule that you have to work a set number of hours per day as well.
To relieve those kinds of stress, playing with women at night has become my favorite thing to do.
I'm especially fond of beautiful looking, big-breasted women.
It's always a great pleasure to have a woman that every man would want to have at least once in his life and to be able to do it on his own.
With that in mind, it's good to find a woman in a cheap bar. They're often willing to let you have a one-night stand, and you don't have to go through the hassle of seduction. As long as you have money, of course.
I've held aristocratic ladies before, but they were often just too proud of themselves that makes you think twice if it's really worth it, going for them. They also put emphasis very much on their appearances and throw tantrums if they don't get what they desired right. Well, it was also fun to make them squirm and unable to live without my body once they have tasted my flesh.
"Mr. Krause. I've got some good news for you."
As I was eating my nibbles and drinking my wine, all while observing who can accompany me for the night, which I often do whenever I came here, the master came and told me something.
"What kind of woman?"
"She is from Elreis Magic Academy."
"Oh?"
Elreis Sorceress' Academy is one of the top magic schools in the country. As their 'sorceress' name implies, it's a women's academy, so only women are allowed in the school. And when I say only women, I meant it in the literal sense, from the students, to the teachers and the staff.
To sum it up, it's a magic school for noble ladies, and since they can learn magic while keeping their integrity, they are highly regarded among the rich. Since I also attended a prestigious magic academy that is different from them, of course, being a man, I'm familiar with how these academies work.
I know that the Elreis Sorceress Academy and how its noble ladies became the object of many men's admiration. Unfortunately, at that time, I felt that they were just women perched on a high pedestal, so I never took an interest in them, but when I was in my mid-twenties, there were times when I wanted to fish for the flesh of a younger noble. It must have felt so good as an achievement to have these so-called high-stakes, high-risk women as your own.
Well, it's not like the students will come to a medium-quality bar like this. If it's one of their staff, it's another story.
"There she is."
The master pointed to a woman in a black suit sitting at the end of the room. She had sleek legs that stretched out from her tight skirt and a relatively slender waist.
What was surprising was the size of her breasts. Her breasts were so heaped up that her suit looked like it was about to tear off, causing the men around her to ogle around and take notice of her.
See, even now, a wild man with a beard is approaching her.
"Hey, missy, want to go to another place and have a drink with me?"
The man spoke as he gingerly put his thick arms on display. He must have been very confident in his own body.
"You've got a nice body. But unfortunately, it's not my cup of tea. Get the hell out of here. You'll ruin my drink."
I whistle inwardly with a huff. Her attitude is totally impregnable, even when facing against a burly man like him. She has big breasts, but that kind of strong-mindedness is right up my alley.
"Now then..."
As I stood up, I heard an angry voice.
"I ask you out gently, and you refuse me? Woman, do you know what you're doing?"
The bearded man put himself into a stance as if he was about to strike at the woman. Despite that, the woman that has been targeted continued to ignore the man's words and drank her glass of liquor nonchalantly.
"You bitch!"
The man became agitated, probably partly because of the alcohol, and tried to hit her by reflex.
"...Good(Yare) grief(Yare). It got messy right off the bat."
But before he could do it, I activated my spell.
"What! Ugh, my arm...it's not moving!"
"Just leave it at that, old man."
"-! Ow, ow, ow, ow! You fucking kid...!"
I activated another spell to halt his actions.
Magic spells like this are widely known in this world, but at best, it is minute enough to help with their everyday life. Most common folks possess magic powers, but only a few can utilize it as their arsenal, like stopping a massive object that was about to hit you.
The muscle man tries desperately to use his strength, which he was proud of just earlier, to move, but his arm doesn't even budge an inch.
All that can be heard is the sound of his clenching teeth.
"I'm feeling good right now, so here is the thing. I'm willing to let you go if you just pick yourself and leave."
"Don't get cocky, you little shit! Let me go quickly, or I'll...!"
"Alright. I'll let you go."
As soon as I released my spell, he hit me.
Totally...these single-celled organisms are really boring.
"Die, you little shit!"
"You're an idiot."
There was a dull sound. After that, the man was sent flying in the opposite direction of the direction he had charged into.
"Guhooo!"
The man picked up himself after the stumble, but then he realized that there's something different in his face.
Unsure of what it is, he felt his face with his hand.
"That was just a shockwave. Next time you come back, I'll hit you ten times as hard as I did just now. If you don't want that ugly bearded face of yours to get even worse, disappear from my face. Now."
"Wha, what the ...you are...!!"
The man noticed something and opened his eyes wide.
"That cloak's emblem is...a court wizard! So you are... I can't believe it, so it was real...I heard it was forty-three years old for the youngest record, but being qualified in just his early twenties- "
"The name is Theophil Krause. Remember it well."
"He, hiiiiiiiiii!"
With a scream, the man ran away.
Still, to be so scared shitless just by hearing my name, it's not like I'm a demon or a devil, you know? Nevertheless, I think it's far better than dealing with an idiot who doesn't know his place.
When I dusted off my cloak, a woman called out to me. It was the Elreis lady from earlier.
"Thank you. That was to save me, wasn't it?"
"Nah. He just pissed me off. So, what would you like to do? Do you want to keep drinking as it is?"
"I'm pretty sure we won't be able to, at least not right now, because we made a pretty nice commotion out there. So, instead, why don't you have a drink with me in private? As a payment for your goodwill."
"Well, that can be arranged."
I smiled inwardly, realizing I got a good chance.
This woman should be interested in me, at least after that matter. Now, if only I could somehow get her to embrace me...
Well, it shouldn't be difficult, just looking at the way she puts up her chest on purpose, and emphasizing her deep valley. An ordinary man would probably try to extend his boundaries and desperately try to seduce her, but I, who has been through these kinds of women by a lot, can stay calm. I'm more the type of guy who delights in owning a woman who's trying her best to groom a man like this.
"I know a good place that has a good selection of fine liquor. How about it, do you want to go?"
"It would be mad not to reject a beautiful woman's offer. After you, milady."
And that is how I left the bar with the Elreis woman.
