A few hours earlier…
Lumina was looking at the boy who was finding it hard to keep himself seated with a confused expression on his face. His piercing gray eyes appeared sleepy and his pupils were dilated. From only one glance, Lumina could tell that he wasn't in his right mind.
"Lumina…?" Autumn slurred, squinting his eyes as he looked at Lumina. "W-what you… here…" He spoke incoherently.
Lumina averted his gaze and looked at Five, who was wearing a shameless and mischievous grin. "What's wrong with him?" Lumina asked, in a tone devoid of concern but filled with irritated curiosity.
"I'm not particularly sure." Five spoke an obvious lie.
Lumina turned back to stare at Autumn, who was sliding on and off his stool, trying to keep himself up. Lumina didn't feel responsible for the Inquisitor and was prepared to carry out his mission in this place and ignore him. But…
All eyes in the bar seemed to be on Autumn. Lumina knew the amount of attention Autumn always drew to himself. Countless thirsty men and women were eyeing him and waiting for the moment when he would be totally unguarded so they could swoop in and take advantage of him.
Lumina's sense of justice began to tick inside him. As he began drawing up the pros and cons of helping Autumn, the Inquisitor himself reached for him, fisting a handful of his shirt, his grip was firm and tight.
"I feel hot… hngh… ahh…" Autumn began moaning out loud.
Lumina's eyes drew narrow in alert. Agh! He couldn't leave such a person in such a dangerous situation. Autumn continued to hold his shirt tightly and even managed to stand up from the stool to lean on Lumina fully, while making provocative sounds.
"Are you going to leave him here? He seems to recognize you. You guys friends?" Five spoke up.
Lumina frowned and answered quickly, "No."
Five laughed in response. "Still. If you're going to leave him here or take him with you, decide quickly." Five's eyes darted down and Lumina noticed that Autumn had begun rubbing himself against him.
Lumina put some distance between the two of them and squeezed his fists shut. "This guy. You better make it up to me for putting me through such a thing." He said through his teeth, then turned his back and carried Autumn.
To his surprise, the man wasn't at all heavy. Lumina held onto the back of his knees and Autumn automatically wrapped his hands around Lumina's neck and held tight.
"You feel nice. Hold me tighter…" Autumn drawled, his hands began strolling around Lumina's chest.
Feeling uncomfortable, Lumina quickly walked out of the bar so people wouldn't get to watch such a perverted display. Outside of the bar, Lumina activated a portal that would lead straight to the dorms at Gomas Academy, using his Special Grade Portal Ring.
It was night, but that didn't mean there weren't a lot of people roaming the hallways of the dorms. Lumina discreetly led Autumn to a less crowded area and planted him against a wall. Autumn was totally out of his mind. His usual pale skin was reddened and his face looked erotic.
His hands were tugging on the rim of his shirt for reasons unknown to Lumina. Lumina was appalled by the sight. How could such a great person treat himself like this? Lumina asked himself. He began wondering just how many times this Inquisitor had done such a thing.
Was it a hobby of his to take drugs and go home with whoever claimed him first in such places? Lumina found it disgusting.
"Hey. We're at the dorms, go to your room." Lumina spoke gently, tapping on Autumn's soft, red cheek.
The latter could barely keep his eyes open, not to talk of even understanding what Lumina just said to him. Lumina thought of carrying Autumn to his room but he wouldn't be able to open it and take Autumn inside it without Autumn's student ID card.
Begrudgingly, Lumina began to search the clothes worn by the Inquisitor.
"Hngh. Ah… Touch me there…" Autumn kept moaning shamefully as Lumina searched his body. Lumina quickly withdrew after not finding the Student ID card but instead an Inquisitor Gun.
Lumina had known from the start that a person like Autumn would've kept such a valuable thing like Student ID card in his private Inventory. As Autumn continued to make attempts at Lumina to touch him, he contemplated leaving him in this hallway and washing his hands off this matter.
But his sense of justice strummed against his heart. It was annoying how he was obligated to do good for a man like Autumn Anderson who was wrapped in an air of cruelty and wickedness.
"Open your inventory and take out your Student ID card." Lumina said to Autumn.
"Wha…?"
He knew it. The guy was too gone to think about anything that didn't involve him getting pleasure. 'What should I do?' Lumina thought as he clapped his right hand against his leg repeatedly.
"It hurts. Do something…" Autumn clung to the clothes of Lumina, resuming his display of rubbing himself against him.
Lumina wasn't such a big prude that he would deny the fact that he was starting to feel good with the way Autumn moved against him but he felt even more guilty. He held tightly onto his remaining thread of sanity as he pushed Autumn away from him and pressed him against the wall.
"Get a hold of yourself. Stop behaving so shamelessly." Lumina couldn't hide the anger that seeped out of his tone.
Yes, he was angry. He was angry that this man in front of him was being so provocative that it would only be a matter of time before the other side of him surfaces to take care of the matter.
"Look, I'm going to take you to my room but only on the condition that you behave yourself when you get there. If I leave you here, it would be incredibly bad for you, seeming that everyone would want to take advantage of you in this place." Lumina explained his train of thought to Autumn who only cared about the fact that they were finally going to a room.
Lumina thought it was awful to be in the shoes of Autumn who was hated by everyone in Gomas Academy. Who wouldn't hate the guy who killed people like it was his birthright, ruined lives recklessly, and bullied the weak, then erased the memories of doing those things and moved on shamelessly?
Lumina wasn't so kind that he would defend any of Autumn's actions. Autumn Anderson deserved all the hate that he got. As Lumina navigated Autumn carefully to his room, the sounds Autumn made grew increasingly provocative.
Once they were finally in Lumina's room, Lumina pushed Autumn to the bed and quickly retreated to lock himself in the bathroom. He needed space away from that guy. As Lumina looked down on himself, he felt ashamed at the fact that he was aroused by the nonsense Autumn had been doing all this while.
He decided to quickly rub one out to calm himself down. He hated that it was the face of a terrible human being that got him off. After he finished, he wiped himself off and unconsciously looked at the mirror above the sink.
The person in the mirror had jet black hair and a pair of glowing red eyes. His face structure was uncannily similar to Lumina's, it wouldn't take an idiot to know that he was obviously another version of Lumina. An evil counterpart in better words.
[This is your chance.]
The person in the mirror spoke to Lumina.
[Isn't this what you've been waiting for all these while? The gun is right there. You can take it. And also take the owner.]
It was very solid advice that sounded incredibly tempting. Lumina did want to take the Inquisitor Gun from Autumn, he also wanted to take the Inquisitor and satisfy himself.
[What are you waiting for? Go on. Claim your prize.]
Autumn was his prize. Who would've thought that he would find such a person in a vulnerable state? It was good luck. He should not waste this opportunity.
[You deserve to enjoy your prize. Take it. Take him.]
Lumina nodded firmly. He opened the bathroom door and went to check on Autumn whom he left on his bed. The state he had left the Inquisitor in and the state he was currently in was vastly different. Autumn was no longer wearing his black mysterious get up. Instead, his entire body was naked and he was stroking himself and moaning loudly.
The first thing Lumina did while watching the sight was feel grateful for the fact that all the dorm rooms in Gomas academy were soundproof. After doing that, he marched straight to Autumn and yanked him off his bed.
"Are you crazy?! What do you think you're doing?" he yelled.
The advice that was given to him by his counterpart had been pushed to the back of his mind after he saw Autumn's naked body. There was no chance that he would be taking advantage of the Inquisitor tonight. And that was a resolve not brought about by his sense of justice.
It was one made by the sheer fact that if he began acting on the wicked thoughts that roamed his mind, he would never be able to stop. Autumn, unaware that he was in serious danger, crawled over to Lumina and began rubbing his cheek against Lumina's pants.
Lumina acted quickly, gripping the hair of the Inquisitor and pushing him back. It was such a position that was advantageous to Lumina, had he decided to use it well.
"Get yourself together! This isn't the way someone of your status should be behaving!" Lumina raised his voice.
Lumina could see his words enter through one of Autumn's ears and escape through the other.
"I want to taste it…" Autumn reached for Lumina's zipper. Lumina was quick to slap his hands away. He acted on impulse as he lifted Autumn up and got him to the bathroom. He recklessly dropped Autumn in the tub and turned on cold water to wet the naked body of the Inquisitor and probably give him back some sense.
Though it was a good thing for Autumn, it was physically torturing for Lumina to be the one to do it. As beads of water ran down the Inquisitor's slender and sculpted body, Lumina's self-restraint was at its peak, about to topple down and get destroyed.
Lumina couldn't turn his eyes away from the pink nipples of the Inquisitor which looked stiff. The slender body lying on the tub was so tempting. Lumina wanted to touch it. Taste it.
But no. He couldn't. To douse his arousal, he began thinking of all the wicked and disgusting things that Autumn had done to the people around him. He filled his head with the memories of all the times Autumn had proven to be a bad person without a heart.
Even though he looked absolutely erotic right now, Lumina had to remind himself that Autumn was the devil's incarnate. With more thoughts of the Inquisitor's evildoings, Lumina was able to get through the cold shower, wipe Autumn off, and make him wear his underwear before forcing him to take a strong sleeping pill which knocked him out.
Lumina had gotten through the biggest temptation of his life with great difficulty.
Meanwhile, Autumn had just finished watching the greatest humiliation of his life, shown to him by System.
"I should kill myself," said Autumn as he summoned his blade to stab himself. He would never be able to look into the eyes of Lumina after everything he had done.
How could he, Autumn Anderson of all people, have done such disgraceful and shameful acts? He had to kill himself to run away from the shame. He had truly attempted to seduce Lumina just as he had been told!
He would never be able to recover from such a thing. Never.
