The Draconic System: Rise of To Ascendance

The back room of the underground arena was dimly lit, a stark contrast to the roaring fights outside. The scent of sweat, metal, and old alcohol lingered in the air. Raizen leaned against the wall, rolling his shoulder as dull pain throbbed in his ribs. His body was still running hot from the fight, his muscles tense.

Ayaka poured herself a drink, taking a slow sip before her sharp emerald eyes flicked toward him. "You didn't just fight well," she murmured, setting the glass down. "You fought like someone who wants something more."

Raizen exhaled, running a hand through his damp hair. "Maybe I do."

She stepped closer, her gaze lingering on his bruises. "You're holding back."

Raizen raised a brow. "Am I?"

Ayaka smirked, her fingers trailing along his forearm before pressing against his chest, feeling the faint rise and fall of his breath. "You can't fool me," she whispered, leaning in just enough for her breath to brush against his jaw. "Guys like you… you fight like you have something to prove. And I like that."

His pulse quickened. The air between them felt charged, the post-battle high mixing with something deeper, something primal. Ayaka wasn't coy—she was a predator, and she was eyeing her next move.

"You want a real reward?" she murmured.

Before he could respond, she dropped to her knees before him, her fingers tracing up his thighs. Raizen's breath hitched.

His mind screamed for restraint, but his body had other ideas. The adrenaline, the heat of the fight—it all crashed together, leaving him with no room for hesitation.

Ayaka was skilled, teasing, her fingers working him free as she let out a hum of approval. "Damn… looks like I made the right choice," she mused before leaning in, her lips brushing against his sensitive skin.

Raizen clenched his jaw as pleasure ignited through him, sharp and immediate. His hands found their way into her hair, fingers curling slightly as her hot mouth took him in.

She was slow at first, taking her time, her tongue flicking and teasing, letting the tension build. Then she took him deeper, the heat surrounding him sending shivers down his spine.

Raizen let out a shaky breath. "You're—" His words cut off as she hollowed her cheeks, sucking harder.

Ayaka's nails lightly dragged against his thighs as she bobbed her head, her pace steady but relentless. The wet sounds filled the quiet room, her muffled moans vibrating around him as she worked him over with skilled precision.

Raizen's grip in her hair tightened, his head falling back against the wall as waves of pleasure crashed over him.

She pulled back briefly, licking her lips as she looked up at him. "Don't just stand there," she teased, eyes gleaming with mischief. "Why don't you return the favor?"

A slow smirk spread across Raizen's lips as he reached down, gripping her waist and flipping their positions. Ayaka let out a small gasp as her back hit the couch, Raizen now hovering over her.

"You're right," he murmured, his hands sliding up her toned thighs, fingers curling under the waistband of her shorts. "It's only fair."

He leaned down, his mouth tracing over her inner thigh, drawing out a sharp inhale from her. Ayaka bit her lip as his hands spread her legs further apart, his breath ghosting over her already heated core.

"Let's see what noises you make," Raizen whispered before diving in, his tongue pressing against her most sensitive spot.

Ayaka's body arched slightly, her fingers threading into his hair as a shuddering moan escaped her lips.

For the next several minutes, the only sounds in the back room were heavy breathing, muffled gasps, and the wet, sinful noises of their mouths working on each other.

Raizen was relentless, his tongue flicking and curling, his fingers teasing and pressing in just the right ways. Ayaka's muffled moans vibrated against him as she took him back into her mouth, her own pace growing desperate, needy.

His muscles tensed, pleasure tightening in his core, and he could tell by the way Ayaka's thighs trembled around his head that she was close, too.

A deep groan rumbled in his throat as they both reached their peaks, her body shuddering beneath him as he spilled into her mouth.

For a long moment, the two of them remained still, panting, sweaty and tangled together.

Ayaka wiped her mouth, grinning wickedly as she looked up at him. "Damn. You're gonna be fun to keep around."

Raizen chuckled, still breathless. "You're not so bad yourself."

The system chimed softly in his mind.

His smirk deepened. That was unexpected.

Ayaka stretched out lazily. "You might just be the most interesting guy in this academy, you know that?"

Raizen exhaled, pulling his clothes back together. He had a feeling this was only the start of something much bigger.
