“The goblin capture of the mia fortress city Olender was such a surprise that by the time they returned from battle battlefield it wasn't the same anymore. Instead of catapults, arrowslits and an assortment of magical armaments. Such as the fme wall cleaners or pressure sensitive earth nce. Many were modified, the catapults now threw boulders that exploded into several earth nces, facing the wall cleaners outwards and somehow adding an electrical effect to them. Even the arrowslits were enchanted to double the arrow's puncturing power, some also added a stunning effect to them.

  With that, the overlooked goblin towns were able to gain a seat at the Sotabasiliso council. This meant the goblins were able to turn the fortress and its surrounding nd into their own city state. They even sold new materials such as crystal coal and enchantable components to the other surrounding three city states. Buying their favor and a vote for sovereign independence.

  In hindsight, these three cities saw how poorly their neighbor held the fort. Witnessed the efficiency of the goblins and how they held off the returning army. The mia there found this weakness with great disgust, letting the goblins keep the fort, not helping the los-”

  *ring*

  As the bell rang several students began packing their notes, books and writing tools. Shuffling them into the void some teachers knew lost paper and homework y hidden, but to the students? It was them. The bags they filled were made to match scale patterns, hair and skin color. Some had more pouches for two more bottles, others were smaller to squeeze between wings. Oni and minotaurs would wear bags around their waists or on their shoulders like military pouches, some even had metal tread or enchantments to make them heavier for the wearer. Even a few arachne had small box like bags strapped to their bulbous abdomens, decorated with crystal charms and several pins and buttons of their favorite actor or current celebrity crush.

  To their flowery mantid teacher, it was a reminder that education was a weight. To her the bags meant her students would remember and even feel the power all knowledge gave. But perhaps she would have to consider more teaching methods as she watched a gourmand of succubi corner a small goblin. They didn’t exactly encircle him, no, that would be too obvious, they left enough room for even a medium sized beetle to pass through.

  “Hehe~ you know, I’ve always loved your sense of style.” A maroon red succubus said in a breathy voice. She used her arms to press her breasts together as she leaned over the goblin’s desk allowing him just enough to see some of what she had.

  “Uh? M-m-maybe let me-” He nervously stuttered as his eyes fshed from her chest to her sugary smile and the note book she had a hand on.

  “Yeah~! I love your fashion! It has soooo much space with that open shirt. I could reach riiiiiiggggghhhht in! Heheh~!” A pink succubus said as she cupped her chest and slowly swayed her hips. “Mhm~.”

  “B-b-but this was just for my project….I-I was just trying to get a good grade…” He meekly said as his eyes shifted between them.

  “Buuutt~ you make a good point. Our grades have been slipping a little….” Said a sky blue succubus as she puffed her lips out as she spoke as if to kiss him. “Maybe you could tutor all of us? There’s just so many hard~ things you could show how to handle~.” She innocently fluttered her eyes at him.

  “I uh don’t think you’d study if we did…” The goblin almost whimpered as the maroon one slowly slid his note book away from him.

  “We could make it a reward game! That way we’d all learn something~.” Sky blue said as she bounced on her feet. “Let’s go learn toget-” She reached her hand out to touch, maybe pull him out of his seat when a mia slithered over in a rush.

  She grabbed the succubus’ arm and pulled her close, gring into her eyes. “Leave him alone and I won’t snap your back so you can drink your own fountain.” She hissed at her while her tail slowly bunched up behind her. The succubus shrunk under her blistering gaze and the other two backed up as if the mia just pulled a knife out. “Don’t fuck with him.” She said as she pulled the succubus closer.

  “O-okay! I-I’m sorry!” She said as tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

  The mia let her go and turned to the goblin. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”

  “O-Okay!” The goblin said his nervousness disappearing with a small smile on his face. He quickly grabbed his things and followed the mia out.

  Once the two were gone the three succubi traded fearful looks for big smiles.

  “Think that got them to melt enough ice?” The maroon one asked as she smirked to her friends.

  “I hope so. All they ever do is stare at each other, come on! Get some back bone already!” The pink one said as she untied her shirt and tucked it into her skirt.

  “The things we have to do…. Maybe after this we’ll get to taste some of that sweet hunger. Bet she'll be the first to take him before the week’s over.” Sky blue said as she fixed her hair and licked her lips.

  Their teacher could only shake her head at how they handled knowledge. The arousal they could smell told them a little too much, especially with how they used it to meddle in their retionships. They never checked if it would cause problems for those they pced together. Never did.
