My Succubus Harem System In The Reverse World

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Loaded Weapon’s Hidden Safety Switch

I took my time walking back up to the observation floor where Mira and Jenna were stationed.

The main floor was a contrast to the frantic beating of my heart.

A dozen blue system notifications were stacked in the very corner of my vision, blinking urgently to show me the updated status of Gianna’s favorability quest.

I ignored them. I didn’t open my stats. I didn’t check her numbers. I decided I would do it later, alone in my room.

If I looked at the system right now, the entire exchange would just boil down to a mathematical transaction.

A simple exchange of intimacy for points. And I was not allowing that to happen.

That kiss was real. Her skin, the way her fingers dug into my hair, the taste of her mouth.

I wanted to keep the human element of that memory intact for at least a little while longer before reducing it to a screen.

I entered the high-tech suite Jenna had set up.

The observation room was dimly lit, filled with floating screens and scrolling data feeds.

Jenna was leaning casually against the center console, while Mira was frantically tapping on a holographic keyboard next to her.

She turned her head as the door shut. Her eyes immediately analyzed my posture, the slight unevenness of my breathing, and the visible wrinkles ruining the collar of my shirt.

A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips.

"You’ve been busy."

"Kinda," I replied, stuffing my hands into my pockets and acting as casual as I possibly could.

"Come here," Jenna waved me over, setting her tablet down.

She smiled, tapping a fingernail against the primary monitor.

"Look at this."

I walked over, standing between the two women.

The screen displayed a complex, spiraling graph with a rapidly fluctuating red line.

Mira pushed her glasses up her nose, looking flustered but utterly fascinated by whatever the data was showing.

"You radiate an unprecedented amount of energy when you are being... intimate. The thing is, that energy perfectly matches the other person’s signature, not your own. This was Gianna’s."

She pulled up a side-by-side comparison chart.

"This was Gianna’s reading right before you two started sparring."

I looked at the floating text on the left side of the screen.

[Rank: A]

[Potential: S]

[Level: 60]

"And this," Mira gulped, swiping the screen to reveal a new set of data on the right.

"This is after you and her got intimate."

The new numbers flashed brightly.

[Rank: A]

[Potential: SS]

[Level: 64]

My eyes widened. I leaned closer to the screen, sure I was misreading the font.

"Four level ups?"

"That is right," Jenna nodded, crossing her arms over her chest.

"And a full, permanent jump in her innate potential rating. Only the three of us know about this for now. We intend to keep it a strict secret."

"But wait," I started, shaking my head to clear the confusion.

"How does other Vanguard support normally work? I thought dual cultivation was just a standard practice for utility classes."

"They give out buffs," Mira explained quickly, eager to share the science.

"Getting intimate with a standard utility class provides a temporary power boost or shares a specific skill to help the women lead secure a victory in a dungeon. It acts like a battery charge. It lasts for a few hours, maybe a day at most. But it is never like this. This kind of permanent jump in base stats is something we have never seen before in recorded history."

I stared at the numbers.

Four levels from one heavy make-out session against a mirror.

"Is it bad?"

"Yes," Jenna answered bluntly, her smirk fading into a serious frown.

"Because increasing power alone doesn’t suffice. One needs to have the physical and mental foundation to handle it."

"What do you mean?"

"If a Vanguard’s power overloads their physical limits before they can properly adapt," Mira whispered, adjusting her glasses again, her voice trembling slightly.

"Their core would shatter."

The words hit me like a physical blow.

I froze.

My chest tightened, and the remaining adrenaline in my system instantly turned into cold dread.

A drop of sweat broke out on the back of my neck and trailed down my spine.

What we just did... pushing her against the wall, trading heat and pulling at her mana... it might have made her a cripple.

If I had pushed it any further, if we had actually crossed the line and slept together right there on the mat, I could have destroyed her from the inside out without even realizing it.

Jenna immediately noticed my pale face and the stiff tension locking up my shoulders.

"Don’t worry, Rev," Jenna said, placing a reassuring hand on my arm.

"You didn’t hurt her. You have the innate power to control the flow."

"I didn’t control anything!" I argued, my voice rising slightly as the panic set in.

"I was just kissing her! I didn’t even activate a skill!"

"Your output was spiking heavily at the beginning," Mira pointed to the graph, showing the jagged, peaking red line.

"Your mere touch transfers power. But look right here. Right as the exchange peaked, the flow stabilized perfectly. You subconsciously held back enough to keep her core safe."

"It’s instinctual," Jenna added, squeezing my arm lightly to ground me.

"But instinct alone isn’t enough when we are dealing with high-stakes dungeons and fragile cores. You need conscious control to manage her power."

She turned her attention to Mira, her tone shifting right back to the demanding, authoritative guildmaster.

"Clear his schedule for tomorrow morning. You are going to give him specialized training on mana flow and output restriction. He needs to know exactly how to throttle his energy transfer before he gets physical with anyone else."

"Understood," Mira nodded, furiously typing the new parameters into her tablet.

"The day after tomorrow, he’s going to a dungeon raid simulation," Jenna continued, looking back at me with a challenging glint in her eye.

"You are going to need every ounce of focus you have. We are going to make sure you are ready, Revien. Because right now, you are holding a loaded weapon, and you don’t even know where the safety switch is."
