The aftermath of the cafeteria incident leaves Soren facing immediate social ruin. Sylvia Everhart, the main heroine and Soren's childhood friend, corners him outside the restroom, revealing she saw him trip Aurelia on purpose. A system warning flashes, alerting Soren that losing Sylvia's trust will drop his side-character status to zero, stripping him of his system entirely and returning him to an ordinary life. Facing this crisis, Soren improvises a classic dating-sim excuse, asking Sylvia if she knows what a crush is, and claiming he tripped Aurelia because he was completely flustered by her presence. This lie triggers Sylvia's overactive romantic imagination, transforming her suspicion into enthusiastic matchmaking gossip. She immediately analyzes the situation as a romantic encounter meant to leave an indelible impression, teasing Soren for being so dramatic. Unbeknownst to them, Aurelia is hiding behind the restroom door, recording the conversation on her smartphone to get Soren expelled. Hearing his confession, Aurelia's immense vanity takes over, and she assumes Soren is simply a clumsy admirer trying to make a memorable first impression. She completely forgets about the recording she saved to accuse him, satisfied with the idea of Soren wallowing in despair over her untouchable status as the daughter of an Archmage. This hilarious reversal completely neutralizes her anger, saving Soren from administrative punishment and establishing his first psychological anchors in the minds of both heroines. This social victory grants Soren his first GAP point, a unique stat awarded for avoiding misfortune, which sets the stage for his survival in the upcoming practical combat class under Professor Lyra Veymont.

During Professor Lyra's practical combat class, the party is unexpectedly swept into Emberwing Roost, a hazardous E-rank dungeon designed by the principal to test overconfident rookies. The rookie team is immediately ambushed by high-level Blazing Falcons that exploit their elemental advantages, leaving the S-rank members struggling to defend themselves. When a level twenty-nine falcon threatens to wipe out the group, Soren takes command of the battlefield, utilizing his knowledge of the game's mechanics to coordinate their defense. He instructs Aria Luna to position her stone golems as shields, directs Aurelia to cast her elemental barrier, and uses himself as bait to lure the monster close, even letting the flames scorch his clothes and skin. At the critical moment, Soren spends his GAP point to temporarily evolve his A-rank Piercing Shot into the S-rank skill Artemis' Grace. The massive mana drain empties his pool, but a lucky Critical Hit trigger doubles his damage, piercing the falcon's absolute metal defense and killing it in a single spectacular shot. This display of tactical brilliance completely reshapes how the party and Professor Lyra view the B-rank archer, earning him the Falcon Slayer title. However, this victory leaves Soren completely exhausted of mana, forcing him to rely on Sylvia's healing. As they prepare to face the dungeon's final boss, the Crimson Wyvern, Sylvia uses her newly unlocked S-rank skill, Purification, to clear the Wyvern's Fury debuff, allowing Soren to execute his final strategy. The battle establishes Soren as the party's true tactical leader, but it also draws the intense gaze of Professor Lyra, triggering a dangerous new exclusive quest that threatens to upend his academy life.

Soren leverages his sharp observation skills to corner Aria Luna, the shy elf summoner who secretly witnessed his intimate physical interactions with Sylvia during the dungeon portal teleportation. Under the guise of teaching her archery to keep his secret safe, Soren invites Aria to a private training room, where his system triggers a three-star quest requiring a bold, conscious touch of her breast. Soren traps Aria inside a quiet restroom cubicle, escalating the tension from a tense confrontation into a dominant, deep kiss. He ignores her half-hearted protests, pinning her against the metal door and forcing her to swallow his saliva to fulfill the system's obscene kiss criteria. The successful quest rewards Soren with a massive boost to his Charm and unlocks ten Perverted Harem Points, pushing his main quest progress to thirty-nine percent. Aria is left completely breathless, physically aroused, and emotionally bound to Soren by a shared secret. She is forced to change her wet underwear in the cubicle, feeling deep shame but unable to resist Soren's high Charm stat and assertive nature. This physical escalation effectively shatters her previous crush on the protagonist Evan, securing her quiet submission to Soren instead. However, this secret restroom encounter is cut short as they must return to the classroom, where a major rivalry with the arrogant senior Darius Blackthorn is brewing. To prepare for the upcoming dungeon competition against Darius' team, Soren decides to join the prestigious Trade Circle club, dragging Aurelia along with him to bypass the club's steep entry requirements and setting up a high-stakes trial in the Whiteleaf Forest.

During a trial to join the Trade Circle club, Soren and Aurelia are tasked by a greedy senior named Owen to harvest Golden Nectar from a level fifty Bumblebee Queen. Recognizing Owen's plan to steal their spoils and leave them to face the monster, Soren uses his newly acquired King's Grace passive and the Veilpiercer Monocle to trace Owen's hidden position. Soren aggressively slaughters the guardian bees with his evolved Arcane Volley, triggers the queen's rage, and uses his extreme Tempest Strider agility to escape the hive. He intentionally leads the level fifty boss directly to Owen's hiding spot, forcing the senior to deploy his level one hundred golem and fight the enraged queen alone. While Owen is distracted, Soren retreats to a quiet corner of the forest with Aurelia. Under the pretense of sharing the sweet Golden Honey, which grants a temporary five percent agility boost, Soren boldly covers Aurelia's lips in nectar and initiates a passionate, honey-slicked kiss. He repeatedly parts her mouth, tracing the honey with his fingers and forcing her to swallow his saliva to maximize the system's reward. The system floods him with Perverted Harem Points as Aurelia's pride melts under his high Charm stat, leaving her completely intoxicated and yielding to his touch. Unbeknownst to them, the twin sister Elise is watching from the shadows, her shock triggering a new system prompt that expands Soren's harem web further. This honey trap secures the valuable nectar and establishes Soren's dominance over Aurelia, setting up a complex dynamic of jealousy as the team prepares to enter the dangerous C-rank dungeon, Bleachwood Hollow, to settle their score with Darius.
