Chapter Title: The Loser Grants a Wish♥
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Remembering the Captain's words to come once the sun rose, I headed to the training grounds.
"You're early."
"Felt like I needed to warm up today."
"Something good happen?"
"Oh, that obvious?"
Heh heh heh.
Before leaving, Ellie gave me three goodbye kisses.
We're not even married yet, and I got a shameless barrage of those sweet "come back safe" smooches. Power surging!
"Please guide me well today."
Esilwin smoothed her blue hair fluttering in the wind and spoke.
"First, let's see what you've got."
"Yes!"
The Captain assumed her stance.
I didn't have any particular preparatory pose, so I just tensed up.
Esilwin, gripping the practice wooden sword like a rapier...
Whoosh.
She vanished from sight with the sound of wind.
"!?"
Then a crushing pressure slammed into my side.
"Ugh!?"
When did she get to my flank!?
I immediately rolled into a breakfall and sprang up, but the fight was over the moment I lost balance.
"......"
"Captain?"
But Esilwin, having landed her strike on me, stared oddly at her wooden sword.
"What's wrong?"
"Show me your body."
"Yes...... guhk!"
A merciless thrust!
If not for the tights, I'd have blacked out or been covered in bruises, rolling on the ground.
The impact was that intense.
Esilwin's wooden sword trembled from it.
"How's that? My shock reflection ability!"
"It bounces back the impact I gave you?"
"Yes! I took down orcs with it too."
"Hmm."
Esilwin still seemed troubled by something.
"Was there anything weird?"
"Any other changes to your body?"
"My jump height's up, and overall, my body's more springy."
Oh, forgot the most important part.
"My dick's rock hard too."
"That's not on today's agenda."
"Isn't it intriguing? Suddenly getting this stiff."
"Not intriguing at all. The reason for the erection's obvious."
Esilwin shaded her eyes from the sun with her palm, smoothly covering her ample cleavage.
That motion only accentuated her huge breasts more. So alluring.
"The changes to your body are strange. Anything else bothering you?"
"When I first thrust... it didn't feel like stabbing a human body."
"Pardon?"
"Like piercing a rubber ball with some give. No human frame, bones, or muscles react like that."
"Really?"
I patted myself down.
Nothing seemed off.
Muscles and bones felt normal.
"The Goddess said once I awaken my powers, no one would dare look down on my strength."
"Then reflecting shocks alone isn't enough. You'll need to work harder."
"Thrust at me again!"
"Hup!!"
This time, I planted my feet firmly and braced.
The instant Esilwin's wooden sword wavered!
Disarm!
"Not a chance."
Swoosh!
Esilwin overcame it with superhuman agility beyond imagination.
"No way! The orcs couldn't dodge that..."
"Now that I know hitting you rebounds twice as strong as normal, I just strike light and precise."
"Ugh."
I see.
No need for a straight punch; just jab away.
Normally, a sword tip alone would be lethal, so that's plenty.
"Normally, you'd be covered in blood by now... but those clothes."
But.
Even Esilwin was impressed by my tights' defense.
"Tough."
"Stiff."
"...Tough. People aren't 'stiff'."
Tch. Captain's guard against sex jokes is ironclad today too.
"The problem is there's nothing else."
"Good bodily elasticity means superior explosive power in bursts."
Instantaneous... explosiveness...
"Your hand-to-hand skills are already quite threatening. ...If they connect!"
Here we go!
I tracked the Captain's vanishing movements with my eyes.
As the distance grew, I got it—Esilwin doesn't truly vanish.
She's a master at slipping into blind spots, making her seem to disappear instantly.
I kept getting hit until my body reacted on instinct.
"Kuh!"
"Extend your fist straight. Move your core with it!"
Even as her magnificent tits jiggled gloriously,
her attacks were so sharp and fierce, no room for boners.
Precise pressure accounting for her own body's shake from reflection.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
"Ugh, eek, ugh!"
The skill gap between me and Esilwin was vast.
Kuh.
Thought I'd grasped combat basics.
"Use your body's elasticity more!"
Kuh!
Even keeping up with Esilwin was exhausting.
"More streamlined. Imagine your muscles exploding..."
Now!
With insane spring, my body launched like a rebound!
I lightly kicked off the ground into a side step.
"Yes!"
"Guuk!!"
Esilwin, praising me, swiftly closed in and thrust her wooden sword into my side.
She smiled happily—her disciple was catching up.
"You're doing great! Keep moving!"
"Ugh, kuh."
Seeing that smile,
I couldn't complain that the last one was a fluke!
Hours later.
"Hah. Hah."
Thanks to the tights' defense, no pain or real suffering, but constant hits wore me out purely from fatigue.
As I lay panting, Esilwin sat beside me and offered a canteen.
"Drink."
"Thank you. Gulp, gulp."
Time flew by.
"You've improved a lot. Seems like you've got the knack."
"I couldn't even graze the Captain."
"Can't catch up in one day."
"Just teach me spirit arts instead."
I said it a bit whinily, and Esilwin sternly pinched my cheek.
"That takes even longer than one day."
Would holing up in the forest farming help awaken new powers?
"Your movements keep improving. Let's push more."
But.
Like gripping her lazy disciple's desire for easy cheats,
her gentle voice wormed into my ear.
"Yes."
An elf village with a guard captain like this won't fall easily.
I grabbed Esilwin's hand and stood.
"Here we go!"
"Reflection against the Captain... doesn't help much."
If I could amplify incoming damage 3x or 5x and send it back, it'd be OP.
Reality: even straight reflection is tough.
And strategies assuming hits were already tested to death.
"Right, dodge."
Keep taking hits and rolling? Feels like no progress.
Dodge!
"Hm?"
Esilwin matched my defensive moves and thrust.
I tracked it with my eyes to the end and flung my body away fast.
Thump!
"Ugh!"
Hit, but not a clean strike. Faster!
More fluid!
Fluidization Achieved!
"......!"
Shlurp!!
"Eut!?"
Captain Esilwin startled at my movement, losing balance.
My body suddenly...
Eh?
"......Huh?"
What is this.
For a moment, my body stretched in a weird direction?
Esilwin looked flustered too.
"You just..."
"......???"
Testing again.
I soon realized what changed in my body.
Stopping focus on reflection triggered a new shift.
Like a cartoon character in squash-and-stretch animation.
Say, one flattened paper-thin after a heavy object smashes them, flapping away.
A gag-like property change hit my body.
"Haat!"
Whirrr!
Instantly, my body—with Semen Man's tights—turned viscous fluid-like.
Perfectly flowed around Esilwin's thrust.
"Ooh?! Dodged for the first time!!"
"No... the attack connected."
"Huh?"
What does she mean?
"Hard to believe, but my sword passed right through you."
"Through me? Thought I dodged!?!?"
Pierced during Fluidization!?
Captain was right.
Didn't dodge—my body became viscous fluid...
Slime-like, letting the thrust slide through.
"Whirr! Whirr!"
I made sound effects with my mouth, stretching my body out.
This really makes me feel like Semen Man...
"Impressive skill. Huge against swordsmen."
"Hee-ya!! With this, Semen Man touch on Captain's tits!"
High on the rush, I charged at the Captain.
"Don't mess around!"
Thump!!
"Nngooh."
Got pommelled by her sword hilt.
"Hits land, huh. Where'd the elasticity go?"
"Seems it doesn't work when slippery."
I deactivated Fluidization mode.
Body turning viscous fluid here and there? Cool.
Though movements got a bit frivolous.
"How about calling it 'Slip'?"
"Not bad."
Slip. Straightforward for sliding.
"No idea why a human turns slime-like."
"Whirr! Whirr!"
Reactivated Fluidization and did a weird dance,
Esilwin burst laughing then hastily covered her mouth.
Eh? She laughed!
Pfft...! No messing around."
"Urrut! Urrut! Upper body shake!!"
Bones don't exist for me now!!
Showed dances impossible for jointed humans, and Esilwin turned away, desperately holding in laughs to preserve dignity.
"How's that. New skill, Slip Dancing!"
"Just... a funny dance."
"Dazzle with flashy performance, then!"
"Ah......!"
Squeeze!
I dropped Fluidization and groped the Captain's tits.
"Touch success!"
"......You little!"
Squeeze. Squeeze.
Captain didn't scold harshly, so I went for seconds.
Whew.
My dick immediately perked up vulgarly.
Esilwin stared at me in disbelief.
"Truly bizarre power."
"My erection?"
"No. The body change. Doesn't feel bad?"
"Feels freeing, kinda nice."
Turning into a fluid maintaining surface tension at will? Not bad.
"Good. Keep going. I'll attack sharply with speed."
"Kuh!"
Captain unleashed rapid thrusts!
"Slip! Slip!!"
I slipped around, dodging frantically.
"They're all going through!"
"No impact though, right!?"
Swoosh, shoo!!
Playing around with Fluidization against the Captain, it hit me.
"Useless for attacking..."
Near-invincible in Fluidization, but hard to deal damage.
My fists soften too.
Could whip around like a lash for surprise slaps, maybe.
"That's all?"
Still got an ace.
Grope tits, lead with raging erection, charge!
Dick Thrust!!
[Desperate final resort]
Captain Esilwin lightly dodged,
and gave me a pitiful look.
......
'Shouldn't have.'
Ace move, but perfect for contempt.
Sudden dick thrust at my master? Yeah.
Esilwin, like she wanted to scold me, hand on hip, tapped my dick lightly with her wooden sword tip and lectured.
"Think I'd let that hit?"
"......Ah. Yeah."
"Why's it so stiff...... ugh."
'She said stiff.'
Esilwin blushed at her own slip.
"Could land by chance sometimes."
"To casually take a no-retreat, all-in thrust, you need skill several levels above your opponent."
Or surprise attack.
But Captain Esilwin teaching dick thrust ambushes? Unlikely.
She eyed me sharply, wanting to correct my vulgarity,
tapping the stiff dick with her sword tip.
"Don't. Do this."
"......"
"Answer me?"
'Feels like lewd training... kinda hot.'
Strict teacher mode Esilwin was insanely sexy.
"Dicks need protecting. Don't stick it out. Listening?"
"Yup."
And every word spot-on.
"Then I won't attack with my dick again. Promise."
"......Won't attack with my dick."
"Good."
Master Esilwin exhaled satisfied.
Thrilled to correct her vulgar disciple's dick attack habit.
'I'll make you crave my dick no matter what...'
Unaware of her disciple's wicked thoughts. Heh heh heh.
"You look like you have something to say."
"Wanna bet?"
"Bet?"
I cracked my knuckles, shifting to serious mode.
"Loser grants a wish."
"......"
Esilwin's eyes chilled.
They said: "Oh? Think you can challenge me?"
"Any wish."
"Any... huh."
The training ground's air shifted.
Taut tension like real battle.
"Fine. Topple me however, and I'll acknowledge it."
"Then until I admit defeat."
Can't resist a wish from cool beauty big-tits sharp-eyes!
One regret... not strip Jenga or drinking game.
'Gotta topple this aura-cloaked elf...'
Impossible task, but fired up.
"If I win, have sex with me."
Esilwin stared coldly, blank-faced. Full combat mode.
The moment I felt a chill,
"Fine."
......Here it comes!!
Make her regret underestimating Semen Man!
True dick-juice mode!
Fluidization!!
Shlururu!
Like a water snake slithering the ground, I closed under Esilwin's legs in a flash.
Beyond "pathetically rolling on the floor"!!!
"Licking the dirt as I slide" mobility!!
Semen Man-style ultimate cheat move, discarding all pride and conscience.
