"I'll be off. Take care, Yuuto, everyone."
Lizel-senpai said before heading off. Today is the day we start our training with Michael.
Since Lizel-senpai doesn't have her magic circuits anymore, she can't use magic, the only exception is Cupid. As such, her training will be a lot more normal compared to ours. She will basically train to be able to keep herself safe if she's ever attacked while alone. Rumi will be accompanying her.
As for me, Reina and Miyabi, we'll be training to become strong enough to face off against the other Devil King Candidates, even those from the Triumph. Well, according to what Michael said, I'd be the only one to fight other Candidates, while Reina and Miyabi will train to be on the level of their Cards.
Ruki will also be joining us. She'll be on the same course as me, but I'm not sure what her objective will be per say. She said she doesn't really care about winning the Devil King War, so maybe Michael only wants to make sure she won't be easily defeated if she has to fight?
Anyway, after we saw Lizel-senpai off, we met up with Ruki and headed to where Michael told us to be. It seems like there's a place dedicated to training not too far from the mansion.
"You've arrived, good. Come, let's get started."
Michael was already waiting for us. The clothes he was wearing was more like a big white curtain covering his body. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the training, but, other than his hands, feet and head, you can't make out anything of his body.
Ah, before I forget, Michael told us that our clothes were likely to get ruined during the training, so he told us to wear something that we wouldn't mind losing. Again, not sure if Michael's own clothes are counted in that.
We walked for a little bit until Michael said "this should be fine" and then we came to a stop.
"This is where the both of you will train. Your opponent will be this one."
Michael started glowing, and then he took a step forward. His glowing silhouette stayed, and then it started moving to the center, as if waiting for Miyabi and Reina.
"Your objective will be to defeat it. It doesn't matter if it's single-handedly or together, so long as you win. I do believe its strength is appropriate, but tell me if you find any problems."
"Y-yes." "R-Reina understands desu."
Miyabi and Reina seemed a bit nervous. Michael said they should begin while he was here to observe, just to make sure everything was fine, so Miyabi and Reina walked up to the light clone.
Still a bit unsure, they got into fighting position. The light clone didn't move, but Michael said it was fine and told them to attack it.
Miyabi and Reina tried a simultaneous attack. I thought they'd land their hits, but the light clone moved at the very last second and caught Miyabi's punch and Reina's sword.
Then, as if they didn't weigh anything, the light clone lifted and hit Miyabi and Reina with each other. It was really loud, so they probably got really hurt.
"Miyabi! Reina!"
I was about to go to them, but then Michael and Ruki stopped me.
"Learning how to deal with the pain of battle is also part of training. If you can still fight, you should. That said, if you need healing, just hit the ground 3 times."
As if to test that, or maybe they really needed it, both Miyabi and Reina tapped the ground thrice. The light clone used healing magic on them, and they were back on their feed the very next second.
Seeming content, Michael said we should proceed to where Ruki and I would be training. I asked Miyabi and Reina if it really was fine, and they said they didn't mind training like this. It seems they also have the drive to get stronger.
"Until later, onii-chan."
"Don't dawdle too much or we'll 'zoom' pass you."
Yeah, I guess it's fine. With a little more peace of mind, I followed after Ruki and Michael.
We ended not not too far from where Miyabi and Reina were training. We were in a different place, but it'd take a few minutes at most to reach them if I had to. But we were far enough that I couldn't hear them… I guess I'm still a bit worried deep down.
"This should be enough. Since I'm curious about how much you'll grow, I'll take charge of your training personally. Your goal will be similar to those girls'."
"Hum, will our goal be to defeat you?"
"It would be nice if you could grow that much in such a short time, but I prefer to set realistic goals. I'll be holding back, and if you can land a hit that deals damage then your training will be complete."
I mean, this feels wrong. Miyabi and Reina have to defeat their opponent, while Ruki and I only have to inflict damage. Then again, looking from another angle, that means that an angel like Michael is so strong that, if I can inflict damage on him, then I won't have trouble even against the Triumph.
"Oh, by the way, Yuuto-kun, are you going to use a sword?"
Seigi took Tenka Fubu to fix her perverted and disobedient attitude, so I don't have her with me at the moment.
I told Michael about my trainings so far, which are: magic, hand-to-hand, and sword. I felt like it was a little all over the place and that maybe he'd tell me to pick one, but instead he actually seemed rather interested. Devils tend to stick to 1 thing, and that's true even for Candidates. If I could learn all that, it would give me an edge in many ways.
"I don't have a sword with me though."
"That's no problem. Ruki, make one for him."
"But wouldn't it be better if dad made it?"
"It would, but you can also consider this part of your training. Consider this a real battle. If the sword you make is too weak, then Yuuto might die because of it."
Ruki gulped. I hope this isn't a serious talk now. Am I going to spend the rest of summer being nearly killed by angels?
Ruki's wings appeared and she made a sword of light for me. Now that I notice it, Michael doesn't have his wings out. I guess he's really not fighting seriously.
We both got into position. Ruki is a magician-type fighter, so I guess it's up to me to take the front.
As soon as Michael gave the signal, I dashed at him with Maximize, Armored and Stride, or the Miyabi-combo as I like to call it, since she taught it to me and she often uses it. It probably won't be enough to make damage, but I want to test how strong the sword Ruki made is, so I slash at Michael.
As soon as it made contact, it simply shattered. The light sword was gone as if it was never a thing. Right after, Michael punched my chest. It was strong enough that I coughed blood.
Michael's fist retreated, it was really red. I fell to the ground. Michael then threw something at my chest, it took me a second to recognize it.
"You'll be needing that."
It was my own heart. He didn't just punch my chest, his fist went straight through me. Michael used healing magic on me and I was fully healed before I even felt death approaching.
"S-sorry, Yuuto-kun. The sword I made was too weak."
"No, it's fine. I'll be counting on Ruki's help again."
This surely wouldn't be the last time I'm almost killed, hell it's not even the first time, so might as well just bounce right off it. Ruki helped me up and then I asked for another sword from her.
Of course, I noticed that, as we were right now, a frontal attack like that would never deal damage. So I discussed with Ruki about what we could do. We decided to try a pincer attack with magic.
As soon as the battle restarted, Ruki and I rushed to opposite sides of Michael, then we aimed advanced magic on him. Once the dust settled, he was standing there unscratched.
So even that much wasn't anything to him, huh. It's not like he even defended, there was no need for him to defend.
"I'm not done yet. World Fall!"
I activated Infinite Lovers and tried to attack with my strongest spell, World Fall. I only used this against Aspite, but after reading through the formula, I realized this was a really dangerous spell.
It takes an obscene amount of mana, so much so that I can only use it together with Infinite Lovers, but if I were to, say, punch the ground, then it would deal some serious damage. Supposedly, it could even destroy the entire Human World, but I'm not sure if I should believe such absurd power. I probably read the formula wrong.
"Oho."
Michael seemed interested. I tried punching him, but he easily dodged. I didn't give it my all though, I just wanted to see if he'd bother to dodge, meaning he thought it would cause damage to him. Still, I don't think I could hit him if I seriously tried.
"It's interesting that you know this spell. But, you have yet to master it. The same goes for Infinite Lovers, but we'll work on it."
After dodging, Michael grabbed my hand and pinned me to the ground. At least I wasn't killed this time. He let me go after I undid World Fall and Infinite Lovers.
"Why did you say that it's interesting that I know this spell?"
"This is a spell me and my fellow angels started developing long ago. That said, I didn't know it had been finished."
Well, Nagasawa-sensei is the one who showed me, but what she showed me was an incomplete formula. Sein is the one who showed me the complete formula, I told Michael. I also told him about my using it against Aspite.
"Interesting. So the spell hasn't been fully completed yet. If you can, continue to work on it, Yuuto. I wouldn't recommend using it in the Devil King War, unless you really want someone dead, but it could be very useful in the future."
"It's still incomplete? I mean, I guess not. The formula says it should be able to destroy entire universes, but it doesn't have all that power when I use it. But is that really true?"
"Well, if it can't destroy even a handful of universes, then it could never do what it was designed to do."
"… And what was it designed to do?"
"Kill God. But that's a topic for another time."
… Wait, what?! I tried asking more about it, but Michael said we shouldn't waste precious time, so I was forced to give up on it.
Still, after such an ominous sounding thing, I decided to just pretend it was a joke. Still, I'll try to look at World Fall's formula every now and again. Maybe I can make a few improvements to it.
Ruki and my training continued after that. Of course, we didn't land a single hit today, but we still have about 10 more days ahead of us. Let's do our best.
After Michael said we'd done enough for the day, he left to go check on Miyabi and Reina. All beaten up, Ruki and I had to help each other heading back to the Kouma mansion.
But once there, our efforts would be rewarded. That's because a really big bath had been prepared. The water felt nicely warm, so I felt like I could stay here for hours.
"Feels really good, doesn't it? Mike prepared this special water with his healing power. He expects to see you in tip-top shape tomorrow even if he left you for dead today."
As usual, I wasn't alone in this bath. Today, it was Rumi and Ruki with me. While Rumi was sticking rather close, Ruki was a little far away. She was probably embarrassed.
Also, while Rumi was fully naked and making sure she was in my line of sight, Ruki had a towel covering her body. In a way though, it was more erotic than her just being naked. Ruki said that Rumi tricked her into coming in, but I have to doubt that a little.
"How was Lizel-senpai's training today?"
"Humm… rather than training, it's more like some normal exercises. It was just some usual stamina and muscle building training like jogging. Rather than that, that girl sold me some interesting ideas, but that's another matter. I think she and your other Cards are taking their bath now."
"They're taking their bath somewhere else?"
I'm not going to lie, I fully expected Lizel-senpai and the others to show up at some point now. I mean, it makes sense that we'd all bathe in this special water to heal up, so might as well have everyone together, right? And then we could even get a little head start on Healing Lovers.
As if guessing what was on my mind, Rumi continued talking.
"Your Cards were going to come here, but I sent them off. Come to think of it, I haven't told you what your Healing Lovers training entails, right?"
"No, not yet."
Rumi then walked behind me. She pressed her breasts on my back. While hers weren't big, it still felt nice to have her breasts pressed on my back. I don't have to say how my dick reacted, and, as soon as she noticed, Rumi pointed it out to Ruki, who looked away in embarrassment.
Well, she tried to look away, but kept stealing glances every now and then. The lower part of her towel seemed to suddenly become bothersome, because Ruki had her hand on her crotch. Oi, you're not helping me here.
"I don't think I have to teach you much about sexual techniques, it'd be like wanting to teach a fish to swim. Just a few pointers here and there should be enough. No, what I'm going to teach you is how to enjoy your sex life."
I already found it pretty enjoyable to be honest, so I didn't understand what Rumi meant. For a second, I thought that maybe the girls had confessed something to her, but it didn't seem to be the case.
"What I mean by that is that, after observing Yuuto's Healing Lovers yesterday, I realized Yuuto seems to think of Healing Lovers almost like a job, something you have to do, rather than something you do because you like and it just so happens to be useful. Basically, I'll teach you to have an enjoyable time."
"I don't get it still."
"Think of yesterday. Is that how it usually happens? You don't have to answer, I know it is. Even the way you held back at the end, it screams you're used to it. I wouldn't say anything if you were just using the girls as cock sleeves to power up, but since you seem to want your relationship to last, I'm telling you this: doing stuff like you were doing so far will get real old real quick."
I think I'm starting to get it. When was the last time I did Healing Lovers with just 1 of the girls? Probably before the tests. And have I ever even taken them on a date? I know we're in a rush because of the Devil King War, but small stuff like that might become a problem for our relationship in the future.
"Yuuto's smart, so you get it. That's the first reason why I'm temporarily blocking you from doing Healing Lovers with Lizel and the others. Spending some time without sexual contact will probably help your relationships in the long run. You'll have to content yourself with me for a while… and Ruki if you can convince her to join."
"M-mom, don't say embarrassing things."
"You should be more honest. Does it look like Yuuto wouldn't want to do perverted stuff with you?"
Rumi was stroking my dick and pointing it towards Ruki. I should probably feel embarrassed, but Rumi's so good I can't think of anything else.
Before I even noticed it, Rumi had made me get up and approach Ruki. She was still pressing her breasts on my back and giving me a handjob, so she directed me pretty easily. It wasn't long before my dick was just a few centimeters away from Ruki's face.
"W-wait, aaa-!"
I could feel the semen building up. At this rate, I'm going to give Ruki quite a surprise.
"Y-Yuuto-kun's…"
"You're my daughter, Ruki, you don't have to look so mesmerized. Why don't you ask Yuuto to make you his Card?"
"B-but…"
Ruki seemed to come out of her trance for a bit. She seemed hesitant.
But there was nothing I could do. I couldn't hold back anymore.
"A, aaaaa!"
"Kyaa!"
I gave Ruki quite a bukkake. I was training with her just before, but now her face is covered in my cum. I don't quite know what to feel.
"Oh, what an amazing amount. This is going to be fun~"
Rumi seemed fairly amused. She made me enter the water again, though she never let go of my dick.
"I-I'm getting off!"
"You should probably wash your face first."
It seems Ruki really had forgotten until Rumi told her. Ruki submerged her face in the water. It worked for the sake of cleaning her, but she ended up having my dick touch her face. After that, she left the bath with her face red.
"Hmm, I guess it was too much for her right now. Oh well, more fun for me."
I was still fairly erect. I can't deny that seeing Ruki covered in my cum had something to do with it. As for Rumi, she had the eyes of a predator.
Rumi cleaned me and told me to get dry and wait for her outside. I have to be honest, part of me was excited, but another part of me was ringing alarm bells nonstop.
Maybe I should have noticed before, but Rumi is really scary compared to Lizel-senpai and the others. How should I put it? It's like she's lust incarnate. Like a succubus.
"Sorry for the wait. Just let me get dressed and I'll take you to my room for tonight. By the way, this healing bath also heals fatigue, so don't expect to sleep."
Is it too late to ask for help?
