The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

The latter nodded knowingly, while pressing his fingers under the table.

Ryan noticed their subtle movements and made corresponding preparations.

"Then I'll begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled thunderclap exploded in the room. Norma burst forth with a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, heading straight for the highest-ranking card on the table!

However, Ryan's magical speed was superior.

Five magic circuits were cast simultaneously, and five beams of light-attribute magic rushed toward the card in five different directions.

Veronica and Tracy's reaction speed was absolutely top-notch; as soon as Ryan made a move, they took corresponding countermeasures.

However, he was still much slower than Ryan.

Despite the two magic powers continuing their relentless pursuit at incredible speed, two of them eventually managed to break free and head towards their target.

Just before Norma was about to touch the cards, she applied the magic of the prism to them.

But something Ryan never expected happened.

It turns out that everything before was a deliberate feint by Norma to show him.

Her real goal was never the highest-ranking card.

After realizing the problem, Ryan hurriedly turned his last remaining magic, but unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

Norma drew a card.

"Hehe~ Six of Diamonds!"

Tsk.

Ryan clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking that it was just a game of truth or dare, but these female hooligans were actually taking it seriously to achieve their dirty goals!

To protect himself, Ryan must do everything in his power.

"...Next, it's my turn." This time it was Daphne's turn.

The core of the Earth element lies in stability.

Therefore, as an earth-attribute mage, speed is her least favorite thing.

In fact, due to the influence of elemental magic, she usually appears clumsy in her actions.

However, this does not affect her strength.

After a quick glance at the cards, Daphne focused her attention on the cards in the corner.

Although it's not the highest-ranking card on the table, it's at least higher than the 6 of Diamonds.

As long as you're not last, it's fine.

With her eyes closed and mind focused, Daphne extended her right index finger and gently pressed it on the table.

To avoid interference from Ryan, Daphne's magic did not lock onto a specific target, but instead spread out in a fan shape, quickly weaving a huge network.

Once earth-elemental magic is formed, it becomes the most stable of all seven elements.

Unless Ryan blows the whole table up, there's absolutely no way it will affect the card she wants.

Ryan knew this, and made corresponding changes.

This time, he released a light spot with extremely high destructive power, a type of light magic.

However, since the venue was his own home, in order to prevent the entire house from being instantly evaporated, Ryan infinitely reduced the power of the magic, ultimately condensing it onto a single playing card.

However, there was one thing that Ryan could never figure out: Daphne's true purpose, and he was never able to accurately strike her target.

The magic network spreads very slowly, but its wide range means that many cards are covered by its protective range, and the light spot's current power has no effect on it.

Ryan observed Daphne discreetly, but she kept her head down, her face flushed, and her gaze fixed on her fingers, revealing no clue as to her intentions.

Helpless, Ryan could only keep casting spells, using the power of the light spots to erase the information from the cards starting with the ones with the highest numbers.

Veronica and Tracy, naturally, weren't going to watch the show and kept interfering with Ryan.

The card table was calm and still.

But beneath the card table, a magical battle is unfolding.

In the end, Daphne failed to get the cards she wanted.

Ryan erased the information from that card.

As a second choice, Daphne could only select the 4 of hearts from the cards she could keep.

Ryan's forehead was already slightly sweaty. He hadn't expected that just drawing cards would take so much energy.

Miley, standing to the side, was laughing so hard she couldn't close her legs.

"Hahaha! You guys are hilarious! I find watching you draw cards even more fun than playing them yourself!"

Mi Lai slapped her thigh, leaning back and forth: "I forfeit, I forfeit. You guys have fun, I'll just watch!"

The other female mentors naturally had no objections, and Ryan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The wind element represents the transfer of energy.

This attribute is more difficult to deal with than others at this poker table.

If Mila is substituted, he will be forced into a passive position.

Fortunately, she abstained.

At this moment on the card table, Mila forfeited, and Freya was eliminated.

Norma got the 6 of diamonds, and Daphne had the 4 of hearts.

Only Veronica and Tracy have not yet drawn their cards.

All cards with a value greater than 6 were magically erased by Ryan. In other words, no matter how the two of them drew cards, Norma was already the King.

Norma knew this, of course.

So she appeared very calm, even thinking about what she was going to announce later.

Veranika and Tracy seemed uninterested, since the game was already pretty much over; all that remained was who had the lower score.

If there was one thing they hadn't expected, it was that Ryan's ability to cause trouble was stronger than anticipated.

If I had known, I should have been more restrained back then.

Because Ryan kept causing trouble, the female instructors present kept releasing their magic, which made them sweat a little and sober up a bit.

Reason returned to his mind, and the ambiguous atmosphere noticeably lessened.

Only Rachel, who doesn't have much of an alcohol tolerance to begin with, set a new record for drinking in a single session today.

Judging from her unsteady gait, she won't wake up anytime soon.

Although Ryan liked the current atmosphere, which was safe and reassuring, Norma, who had already obtained the King's throne, was very uncomfortable.

I am the king! If there is no atmosphere at all, wouldn't I lose face?

"How about I announce the details of the adventure first?"

Norma's words quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone wanted to hear what her orders were.

Norma smirked and fixed her gaze on Ryan, the only man in the room.

"The last person has to... kiss Mentor Ryan!"

Ryan: "!!!"

Depend on!

It's almost over, why don't you just give me the big one!

However, they are all mentors of the Vatican.

Although their pent-up desires over the years have led them to constantly tell dirty jokes whenever they have time, their minds are filled with inappropriate images.

But if it really comes down to doing something serious, they'll probably hold back a bit.

Ryan was thinking this, but when he looked around, he was surprised to find that everyone was looking at him.

Their eyes were filled with desire.

It's clearly an expression that says they're going to take advantage of you completely!

The ambiguous atmosphere that had almost dissipated suddenly returned.

Ryan could only manage a bitter, dry laugh.

You guys always manage to come up with something new and interesting.

the other side.

Claire in full makeup, whose rarity is comparable to SSR+, has finally arrived at Ryan's doorstep.

Through the window, you can see that the inside is brightly lit.

Mentor Ryan is inside...

So nervous!

Claire took out a small mirror and tidied her appearance once again.

Finally, everything was ready. Claire took a deep breath, trying her best to slow her restless heartbeat.

He raised his hand, ready to knock on the door.

But just then, laughter from many women suddenly came from inside the room.

Claire froze, her hand hanging in mid-air.

Ok?

A woman's voice?

Could it be that Mentor Ryan not only invited him, but also brought other women along?

Claire felt a sharp pang in her heart, the blush on her face quickly faded, and an unprecedented sense of loss welled up inside her.
