MTLNOVEL Chapter 167: But I'm not even 18!
'What is this…!?' Flora asked herself while fighting the urge to pounce on the young man who now looked like an appetizing steak slab. 'Is this my…?? But I'm not even 18 yet!'
A girl who was normally uncaring about everything began to internally freak out as she tried to reverse the sudden changes to her body. However, as this whole experience was very novel to her, she knew not how to undo the alterations.
In her distress, a lethargic-sounding feminine voice entered her ears. 'Focus on the spots that feel the most reactive and convey your intent. You'll be able to more easily switch between your Succubus and Human forms…'
'Elder Protector Violet??' Flora's eyes flashed in surprise as she worried if other unrelated people also realized what was happening to her.
'Don't worry,' Violet Evergreen eased her nerves while outwardly sleeping. 'I even managed to slip past the Mind-control Skills of that irksome Vampire Miss. You think I can't alter the reality that everyone perceives when they look at you…? You will soon learn more of it, but we Succubi specialize in the properties of the mind and illusion.'
Flora was still wrapping her head around her premature racial awakening, but with the severity of the situation at hand, she idled no longer and followed Elder Violet's instructions. In no time at all, she had already reversed the heart-shaped tail with a mind of its own. The rest of her unique Succubus qualities soon followed.
Just like that, she became human again.
Violet lazily swiped her delicate fingers and deactivated the Illusion spell she had cast on everyone in the classroom. She then voice-transmitted to Flora, saying, 'We will speak more on this when we return to your family later today. Until then, you can rest assured. No one saw your—'
Flora and Violet looked in the same direction at the exact same time, which was when they saw a striking pair of multicolored eyes curiously glancing between them. A small grin then formed on the face of the owner of those eyes, causing the two sleepy beauties' thoughts to spiral.
"He couldn't have…"
"Elder Violet… What was that you said again…?"

Under the guise of the noise produced by the students that had only now unfrozen themselves and started swarming Cassius, both young Succubus and Elder Succubus exchanged puzzled looks. Neither could explain what they had just seen.
Perhaps it was all just their imagination…?
Yeah right…
Violet and Flora could no longer see the aloof man due to all the students crowding around him, but that handsome shot of him slightly grinning still lingered at the forefront of their minds. If he made that insinuating gesture because he saw something he shouldn't have, then they were quite frankly… f*cked…
'Should I kill him??' Violet thought with unusual haste. 'Would it be easier to use higher-level Persuasion Skills on him and force him to forget??? The young mistress's premature racial awakening cannot be known to the public just yet. If the other Dimensions were to learn of this event that foretells many things for our race, then everything we have worked to accomplish over the years will have been for naught…'
'The Young Miss must grow up,' she declared in a tone bereft of emotion, with her usually dormant killing intent becoming tangible. 'I'll have to kill him. It's the simplest solution.'
However, before the uncharacteristically ruthless Violet could make her accurate and lethal move, Flora predicted her thoughts beforehand and shouted to stop her through voice transmission.
"???"
'You mustn't kill him, Elder Violet,' Flora hurriedly explained, a deep blush forming on her face. 'Have you already forgotten the Succubus traits…? He made me feel the urge to ravage him and drain him dry until he becomes akin to a barren desert… You know what this means…'
"!!!"
Violet had completely overlooked it, as that had not even happened to the Eldest Miss, mostly because she had not yet had her Racial Awakening. But if what the Young Miss said was true, then…
'I can neither kill him nor alter his mind… That boy has already been marked…'
Like Vampires with their morally questionable ceremonies and marking rituals, the Succubus race also had one such similar permanent marking system. The specific details of the marking process were that when a Succubus underwent their Racial Awakening, the first man they felt a liking to would be 'marked.'
However, unlike the Vampires who had contractual marriage marks, the Succubi did not mark a male in the hopes of spending all of eternity with them. Their First Mark would… be the first person they had to drain all the Yang Energy from…
The marked male would naturally die once the Mark's purpose was accomplished. This meant that Cassius was set for death… again… by a different woman…
And Flora had to be the one to personally do it.
She furiously blushed at just the thought of participating in something so obscene, but she had no real choice in the matter. If she never slept with her First Mark and drained him dry, then her power would stagnate. Moreover, over time, her body would start to weaken, and in the most unlikely and far-off of cases, she would… die.
Violet Evergreen inhaled deeply before exhaling sharply. She laid her head back on her desk and returned to the land of dreams.
Flora, on the other hand, had a head infected with dirty thoughts. Now, every time she thought about Cassius, only explicit scenes entered her mind. She couldn't stop herself from repeatedly blushing, with every additional glance at him causing her beat-red condition to worsen…
She had no clue what to do now…
There was no way she could just approach him and ask for sex!
'Hey, wanna fuck?'
'Huh…?'
Uhn uh! She was utterly incapable of doing something as frivolous and perverted as that!! But then what else!?
Flora was also not used to talking to those of the opposite gender, or even those of the same gender.
Yes, she was friendless! And unsocial!
But it was all by choice…
