Chapter 116: The Growing Guard (6)
After hearing Rebecca call me "Master," I enjoyed a threesome with her and Rena. I wanted to push them both to their limits, but Rena ended up heading back to her room, so I only tormented Rebecca.
I had planned some power sex to break Rebecca’s habit of using formal speech, but Rainie summoned me at the crack of dawn, so I had to postpone it.
And now, I’m sitting cross-legged in the training ground, operating the Aura Cultivation Method.
"Focus."
Rainie gave me a warning the moment my mind drifted.
"Your vacation ends the day after tomorrow. An opportunity to devote yourself entirely to training without having to report for duty won't come again for months. Didn't you say you’ve grasped the tail end of Aura? Aura is unkind. If you miss this chance, there’s no telling when it will return. So, focus as much as possible and realize it quickly."
Her tone was full of genuine concern for me. I have to live up to my Master's expectations. Only then will there be a chance to put my cock in her pussy.
"Didn't I tell you to focus?"
Focus. As I operated the cultivation method, I felt something warm flowing through my veins. From a modern perspective, it was likely a breathing technique that helped one feel the flow of blood.
Unfortunately, I was a liberal arts major, so I couldn't speculate further. Whoops. Better focus on the cultivation method before Rainie warns me again.
My entire body began to throb as if it had turned into a single heart. It was a massive resonance, like someone was beating a drum inside my head.
Whether the sound was only audible to me, neither Rainie nor Rena commented on the heartbeat. But why the heart? In martial arts novels, they gather internal energy in the dantian. Is it set in the heart here to differentiate it as a fantasy world?
"Sigh... You can't seem to focus at all. It seems I made a mistake. Originally, the best training isn't meditation, but real combat. Since I can't actually send you into battle, we shall have a spar that feels like the real thing."
Rainie drew her sword, her momentum radiating outward in waves.
"Uh... Master? Why are you holding a live blade instead of a wooden sword?"
"Didn't I say it would be a spar like the real thing? Humans naturally exert superhuman strength in life-or-death situations. Since you've caught a glimpse of the path, perhaps you'll awaken your Aura out of a desperate desire to live after being cut a few times."
Rainie smiled ominously and reached her arm out to the side. But nothing happened.
"Oh...? Rebecca. Stop playing around and bring the sword already."
"I-I'm sorry!"
A maid I’d never seen before came running over, clutching a sword. If that had been Rebecca, her tits would have been bouncing all over the place, but this girl was flat-chested, so there was no thrill.
I already have a fuck-toy in a maid position, so I won't bother with her. Of course, if she offers herself up, I’ll say "thank you" and have a taste.
"Where is Rebecca? Why are you here?"
"The Head Maid is unwell and is staying in her room."
"Hmm..."
Rainie glanced at me briefly before looking back at the maid. Come to think of it, she was trying to use a crystal ball to find a weakness to use against me. She probably thought Rebecca was currently busy forging evidence.
In reality, she’s sprawled out on my bed. I covered her in so much cum that she couldn't get back up, so she probably won't be able to move until lunch.
"I'm worried she might actually be ill. I'll have to ask the Priest who's coming this morning to check on her."
"A Priest is coming?"
Rena, who had been operating her own cultivation method nearby, asked. Rainie answered kindly.
"Yes. We can't have Sma dying during our spar, can we? I called someone to provide treatment."
Her words reeked of blood. She’s going to beat me until I’m on the verge of death? That’s a bit much. If I don't awaken my Aura, I might actually die.
The live blade I held for the first time in my life was heavier than expected. The blade was well-honed, clearly not just for decoration.
"Isn't this a bit too sharp? What if you get hurt, Master?"
"Worry about yourself. Do you truly think you can wound me? It seems your confidence is piercing the heavens just because I went easy on you yesterday."
Rainie took the starting stance of Hugo's 2nd Sword Stance and curled the corners of her mouth.
"It seems I must show you the dignity of a Master who stands as high as the heavens. Attack me with everything you have. If you manage to wound me, I will give you any reward you desire."
"Well, if there's a reward, that changes things."
What kind of reward would Rainie be thinking of? 'Allow me to date Rena'? That’s something for the two of us to figure out, not for Rainie to decide.
My wish is to touch Rainie's breasts. Or a kiss. If I demand sex from the start, she’ll obviously refuse, so I have to make her get used to it slowly, like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water.
"You can't go back on your word."
"It's good to see you so motivated. Then, here I come."
Hugo's 2nd Sword Stance is a swordsmanship style that excels in defense. Rainie taking the initiative to attack could be seen as a consideration for her disciple.
However, she showed no consideration beyond that. Her claim that she had been going easy on me was true; her speed was on a different level. She was so fast that I would lose track of her movements if I didn't focus.
Rainie closed the distance in an instant and swung her longsword down. Moreover, she attacked at an angle that was easy to block using the slanted blade of Hugo's 2nd Sword Stance.
What a considerate Master. I could feel her heart truly caring for her disciple. Therefore, I must live up to her expectations. I will definitely draw a red line on that skin and touch those breasts.
As our blades clashed, I felt a monstrous strength that was hard to believe came from a woman's body. I desperately tilted my blade, trying to parry Rainie's sword away.
However, Rainie understood Hugo's 2nd Sword Stance better than I did. Her eyes seemed to say, 'Is that all you've got?'
Her sword was certainly heavy. It felt like being crushed by a boulder. The pressure was so intense that it felt like my internal organs would pop out if I opened my mouth, but swordsmanship was designed to overcome threats that were difficult to face with mere human strength.
My two legs held firm, creating a stable posture. The power generated from a straight posture supported my spine. My core strength transmitted the power of my entire body to my arms, and I finally parried Rainie's sword.
Rainie's sword dropped toward the floor. As I used my strength to flick it away, her upper body opened up slightly. I tried to thrust into the exposed gap immediately, but a chilling sensation pierced through the crown of my head.
If I went in like this, I would be the one losing out. I forcibly stopped my extending sword and took a backstep. My calves and thighs screamed at the forced movement, but I was right.
The tip of her blade grazed my chest. The training uniform Rainie had provided split open, and blood splattered.
But it was shallow. It stung more than a paper cut, but it was bearable. Being a genius, this body has a high pain tolerance too. That’s why I could endure the Mandrake’s scream.
"Your instincts are good, as expected. Do you truly have no intention of becoming a knight? You could even aim for the position of Knight Commander."
"Master! What about me? You said I was also candidate material for the next Knight Commander."
"You can be the Commander of the 2nd Knight Order, and Sma can be the Commander of the Royal Knights, the 1st Knight Order."
"Hehe..."
I was curious why Rena was making such strange noises, but I couldn't take my eyes off Rainie. Not satisfied with just cutting my chest, her sword aimed for my arm.
I twisted my upper body while using footwork. The sword, which looked like it would cut through empty air, forcibly curved and aimed for my stomach.
Since it wasn't a vital spot, my reaction was slow. I lowered the sword I had originally held to block my chest, but it was only after my side had been struck.
"Shall we treat the wound with a potion and start again?"
"No. This much will heal if I just spit on it. Let's keep going."
"Your willpower is a perfect ten. If only the recruits in our Order were half as good as you, I’d have nothing left to wish for."
Contrary to her warm words, her sword was cold and ruthless. I forced myself to endure. Yes, 'enduring' was a more fitting word for this situation than 'sparring.'
With every exchange of blades, the wounds on my body increased. On the other hand, there wasn't a single scratch on Rainie's body. Not even her clothes were nicked, let alone a wound.
But it was too early to give up hope. Compared to when the spar began, Rainie's breathing had become slightly ragged. It was proof that she, too, was doing her best.
"Senior... hang in there."
"Good heavens..."
I squeezed out my last bit of strength while listening to Rena's cheers. Another familiar voice joined in, but I didn't have the luxury to check. If I had that kind of energy left, I’d put it into my sword.
I felt a sense of exhaustion, similar to when my balls were completely empty after sex. This would likely be my final attack. So, I put everything into this one move.
Suddenly, the world slowed down. Rainie's eyes looked as large as watermelons. I could tell where her gaze was headed.
I forcibly twisted the path of my sword. I don't know where that strength came from. Perhaps it was because the tickling sensation near my heart had taken shape and moved to my arm.
Because it deviated from the set path, the longsword looked like it was being swung haphazardly. Yet, it perfectly contained the form of Hugo's 2nd Sword Stance.
Ah. I have completely mastered an advanced swordsmanship style. At the same moment a smile formed on Rainie's face, my sword grazed her forearm.
It wasn't a decisive blow that cut flesh and split bone. It was merely a scratch. But it was a feat achieved by breaking through Rainie's overwhelming defense.
"Well done. That was magnificent."
Even as my consciousness faded, I could clearly hear Rainie's praise. I can't pass out like this. I have to say my wish.
"My wish is..."
"You're asking for your reward in that state? Fine. Since it's a wish my disciple wants so desperately, I must grant it. What is it?"
"Breasts..."
Everything went black.
