Strong and Sappy Training for Leina
"Man, our first training with Ais and Echidna was sure was intense." Bell stretched his arms as he and his party are now down on the tenth floor of the Dungeon.
"Especially that Irma girl, Echidna wasn't kidding when she said that she doesn't hold back even in training." Leina moved her neck around a little.
"I'm still surprise that Echidna was Irma's trainer." Risty said.
"Do you know anything about Irma?" Leina asked curiously.
"Irma, she is also known as the Assassin Fang of Orario, you could say she's the top security of the whole city and if she gets word of someone doing against the city then she'll strike before they know it." Risty explained about what she heard about Irma.
"Wow, she must be really strong if she could keep the city safe from danger." Leina amazed.
"She is, and she also helps out with danger tasks like if monsters were found outside the city trying to get in." Lili mentioned.
"Makes me wonder how far she could go in the Dungeon." Bell said.
"Speaking of which, Master Bell, how far are we going this time?" Lili asked.
"Not sure, since we're taking tomorrow off, we don't we go as far as we can go today." Bell suggested.
"Sounds like a good idea, we still need to make some money to have the old church repaired and figure out a way to make more room for you two." Leina stated.
"Sorry we have to make you guys go through all that." Lili apologized.
"There's no need to apologize, we grateful to have you guys with us and we'll always have each other's backs. Besides, Leina and I could use the practice to see the results of our training." Bell said.
"Easy there, white rabbit, you just started today and those two will only be training you guys for a few days or so." Risty reminded.
"I know, I just can't wait to see how much I've improved." Bell excited, then they heard some eerie screams.
"Looks like you're about to get your wish." Risty glared at the direction where the screaming is coming from.
"Lili, stand back!" Leina ordered.
"Yes, Lady Leina!" Lili hurried away as the fight is about to begin.
Bell, Leina, and Risty stay close to each other as they see dozens of goblins are coming and surrounding the three Hestia Adventurers, then arrows started raining down near the goblins' feet forcing them to move back.
"Thanks, Lili!" Bell thanked.
Lili is shooting some arrows from her crossbow while the others fight them off. Leina charges in swinging her sword outward far as her arm can go and fast to slice five goblins in one attack, Risty use her shield to push knock some of the goblins back before she swings her mace down to crush one completely and smack at another one.
Bell slashes at the goblins with both his knives making sure not to take his eyes off on any of the goblins here, one goblin tries jumping at Bell, but he saw this coming and spin kick snapping its neck and killing it. He kicks away two more goblins and stab his two knives on two more goblins, three more goblins jump at Bell, and he slashes them in half.
"(Stay alert, don't allow blind spots.)" Bell thought remembered what Ais and Echidna taught him this morning.
"(Keep your focus on the battle, don't let your enemies make any moves to attack.)" Leina thought repeated the words Irma told her as she killed three goblins.
"Great job, everyone!" Lili said believing they'll be able to get through this.
"Wait, I think more are coming." Risty alerted.
Just as Risty warned, some more goblins have come along with orcs and their tree clubs as they glare at the Adventurers ready to overpower them with their sheer numbers and bruteness.
"There's so many of them." Bell shocked.
"You think maybe we should fall back and regroup now?" Lili asked, not sure if they can take on such a large number of orcs and goblins.
"No, we have to keep moving forward." Bell said.
"(If I run away now, I won't be able to face what I'm afraid of down there.)" Bell thought recalled his run in with the Minotaur.
"(I won't be able to face Ais, Echidna, and Irma who are putting their time and energy to train me.)" Leina thought she would bring shame to those three if she runs away now.
"Well, you two seem more rearing to go, now let's kick some monster's ass!" Risty excited.
"You got it!" Leina and Bell said at the same time as they charged at the monsters ready to battle them.
(Meanwhile with Otter)
Otter is seen easily parry off the Minotaur's vicious attacks with the sword and pushes it back, the Minotaur tried to do something a little different and ram Otter to a wall with its head and horns, but Otter just snapped the right horn off with just one arm alone.
This causes intense pain to the Minotaur fell and held his hands to where his horn was snapped off, the humanoid bull monster looks up glaring at Otter and catches the sword he just tossed him.
"Now get up." Otter ordered and forced the Minotaur to stand up again.
The Minotaur just roars in rage and charges at Otter again.
(The Next Day, Close to Dawn)
"Huh, you want to train me alone?" Leina asked after what Echidna just told her.
"That's right, for the next couple of days, you'll be doing some intense training session with me while Bell continues training with Ais and Irma." Echidna announced.
"What kind of training are you going to make Leina do?" Bell asked.
"Oh, let just say I'm going to put out my special training that will surely help Leina fight better than ever before." Echidna giggled.
"Master Echidna, please tell me you're not going to put her through "That" special training!" Irma realized what Echidna is talking about.
"You better believe you cute little ass I am." Echidna smiled sexually and licked her lips.
"Wait, what training session is she going to put me through?" Leina asked feeling nervous right now.
"I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud." Irma blushed.
"Come on now, Leina, it's time we get started as soon as possible." Echidna dragged Leina away from Bell.
"Wait, wait, I'm not sure if I'm ready for this! Someone, help me!" Leina begged.
"Don't worry, Leina, I'm sure it's not that bad. I hope…" Bell gulped.
"Now Bell, let us start your today's training." Ais said before she roundhouse kick Bell down.
(Echidna's Home)
"Okay Leina, ready for my training?" Echidna asked.
"I-I'm not sure about this?" Leina gulped.
"Relax girl, this training is grantee to help you." Echidna assured and started striping down her armor.
"Huh, why are you getting naked all the sudden?" Leina gasped and blushes.
"Because the kind of training we'll be doing is something out of any basic combat training you have probably ever heard of." Echidna answered as she tosses away her boots.
"Now, you take off your armor and I mean all of it." Echidna instructed.
Leina is hesitated to do that even though this is another girl in front of her though this woman is very erotic to even another woman and worry about what this woman is going to do to her once the training begins that maybe a path of no return. But Leina also knew that Echidna is a great warrior with many years of experience, so this training must carry purpose on how to train her to become a better fighter with the sword.
"Okay…" Leina started stripping down her armor and put them aside leaving herself completely naked.
"My, my, you certainly got yourself a fine body." Echidna complimented.
"Can we please just get on with the training?" Leina asked blushing.
"Don't worry, you won't regret this." Echidna pulled out a large jar and open revealing a harden yet liquid substance inside.
"What is that?" Leina asked.
"Tree sap." Echidna answered and spread some all over her body.
"Now come over here and put this stuff on your body." Echidna ordered.
"Huh, but what does tree sap have anything to do with combat training?" Leina confused and feels a little weird putting that stuff on her.
"Sometimes, a warrior has to do something she is not used to or feels uncomfortable with it, and you do want to get strong for Bell as well. Don't you?" Echidna pointed.
"Fine, give me the sap." Leina exclaimed.
Leina starts putting the sap on her body though Echidna said she doesn't have to put some on her face and the elf woman helped to herself feeling Leina's body, even pressing their breasts onto each other.
"H-Hey, what are you…?" Leina gasped.
"Why, just couldn't help myself that I wanted to feel your body so much just like I did with Irma." Echidna giggled.
"(Is this the kind of training Irma had to go through?)" Leina thought worried.
"But I will hold myself until you and Bell have each completed your training, and I'm looking forward to see how much you'll grow." Echidna smirked licking her lips.
"(Why do I feel like I'm going to regret this?)" Leina thought asked herself nervous.
Echidna and Leina are standing outside of the elf woman's little home with each holding their swords in their hands to begin the special combat training.
"Here I come." Echidna blizted at Leina and slash at her side before she could react at all.
"Whoa, you certainly know how to attack fast." Leina groaned.
"Yes, but there is also the reason why I have the saps on us. Take a look at the spot where I hit you." Echidna pointed at the spot on Leina's body.
Leina looks down wondering what's the point of seeing a cut on her side, but her eyes widen of shock to see that there isn't a cut there at all and there's a little steam coming out of where the cut should be.
"But how…?" Leina asked.
"This sap is very special from a powerful tree; it can protect us from being injured during our practice battles." Echidna explained.
"Wow, the world is even bigger than I could imagine!" Leina amazed.
"You better believe it, now come at me with all you got. The purpose of this training is to keep on fighting and fighting until your body is in sync of the battlefield and the inner battle instinct within has awaken." Echidna explained about the training.
"Wait, so we're just going to keep on battling each other nonstop?" Leina asked shock.
"That's right, I also notice how you fought Melona when you got your second wind. You had a hard time fighting against the two men she shapeshifted and her own fighting style and almost lost." Echidna mentioned.
"Yeah, it was a nightmare for me. Wait, how did you know about that when you showed up later?" Leina asked.
"Simple, I was there watching the whole thing." Echidna answered without hesitation.
"Seriously?! Why didn't you jump in help me?" Leina snapped.
"Because it was your time, the start of your adventure as a great Adventurer and I noticed how you did well against Melona." Echidna said.
"Like what?" Leina asked.
"Try to remember, you managed to defend and counterattack Melona's attacks even when she shapeshifted into different Adventurers, it was as if you were able to learn the ways from those fighters just once and adapt to how they fight." Echidna pointed out.
"Huh, now that you mentioned, it did feel like my body was moving more than I realize and there was this feeling that I was getting strong too though it was probably my Maiden Heart skill." Leina recalled those feelings.
"I believe that adapting ability maybe a skill you have yet to unlock." Echidna theorized.
"Really, a new skill?" Leina amazed at herself.
"Could be, but we won't know once we start training." Echidna held her sword tightly in her grip.
"Okay, let us begin!" Leina excited.
Leina charges at her fighting mentor clashing her sword against the swirl-bended sword of the elf woman as she easily blocks and parry each strike, the blonde Adventurer of the Hestia Familia keeps on slashing away and move her arms faster to force Echidna back. However, Echidna remain standing at the very spot of the ground and her feet isn't moving an inch as Leina kept on attacking as she pushes Leina back several feet away though she came back to strike again and again.
"(Bell, I promise I will become stronger for you and myself.)" Leina thought determined.
Echidna parry another strike from Leina to push her back, but Leina quickly balance her foot and spins around fast to slash at the shoulder though barely as Echidna was able to react in time to block it and counterattack with a cross slash on the stomach and kick her away.
"Come on now, don't tell me this is all you got?" Echidna asked sarcastically.
"In your dreams!" Leina charged at Echidna again, striking a little faster and stronger this time.
"(Good, she's getting there.)" Echidna thought smirked as she clashes blades with Leina again.
(With Bell During his Training)
"AAAH?!" Bell screamed as he is sent flying by Ais and Irma.
"Hmm, you seem to have a tougher body if you are able to keep getting back up from all those blows, we've been giving you." Irma commented.
"Thanks, I think." Bell said, wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not.
"Let me ask you something, you were a rookie when we first met and now you have gotten stronger. How did you do it?" Ais asked.
"I'm not entirely sure, I just wanted to become stronger for one person who is special to me, but Melpha pointed out that I can't just use one person as my motivation and well, let just say I want to get stronger for those around me." Bell explained the best he could though not sure how explain about his growth himself.
"I see, I too wanted to prove myself to someone I knew a long time ago." Ais said looking up at the sky, remembering the one Adventurer she knew then she let out a yawn.
"Okay, now it's time to practice taking a nap." Ais said shocking Bell.
"Down in the Dungeon, you need to be able to sleep no matter what your surroundings maybe." Ais stated.
"She does have a pointed here." Irma agreed.
"Oh, I just thought you were sleepy." Bell chuckled.
"This is training!" Ais leaned close to Bell's face.
"Now, we begin." Ais lied down on the floor as Irma does the same, Bell did too though he didn't sleep unlike the two girls.
"(Wow, those two are a real pro at this.)" Bell thought amazed then a manifestation illusion of a purple orb appeared.
"Come on, Bell! Be a man, give a little smooch while these fine ladies are asleep." The orb with the old man voice taunted.
"Uh, grandpa?" Bell surprised.
"In a situation like this, it would almost be rude not to. Look at them, they're practical begging for some sweet love." Bell's "Grandpa" pushed Bell down with his lips almost touching Ais.
"Don't do it Bell!" Hestia's voice shouted and came out another illusion orb and this one is sky blue.
"You've never been the type of guy who would attack an innocent girl in her sleep like that!" The blue orb of Hestia pushed Bell away from Ais.
"I know I said I would share you with other girls, but if you dare do this out of lust and stupidity then I'll never forgive you!" Hestia orb warned.
The two orbs started arguing about whether Bell should do it or not as they are flying around his head fast confusing and shocking the boy.
Then Bell wakes up from the weird hallucinations he just had and find himself very close to Ais, such as his lips touching her cheek, this realization causes Bell to scream and move away from her.
"Well, aren't you a playboy." Irma commented getting Bell's attention.
"And to think you would dare do the same to me as well." Irma said with a hand on her cheek.
This causes Bell to blush ten shades of red and steaming coming out from his head of the realization that he not only kiss Ais on the cheek, but also Irma while they were sleep training.
(Afternoon, with Leina and Echidna)
Leina and Echidna continue with their battle training all throughout the hours that have passed and neither of them have stopped for a break, not even once as Echidna said they will keep on battle nonstop.
"Feeling tired now, your movements are becoming sloppy." Echidna taunted.
"Not even close to being tired!" Leina proclaimed and push Echidna's sword aside and slash a little on the shoulder.
"I'll keep on going for all night and day for weeks if that's what you want!" Leina determined to see this training through to the end.
"That's what I like to hear." Echidna smirked and turned her head to Keltan as the snake goes to deliver a letter to the Goddess Hestia.
"Show me how strong that willpower is." Echidna gestured to bring it on.
Leina charged in again.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Leina sure didn't see this coming that Echidna's training would be involve being naked and covering her body in tree sap, but she is going to do it to become stronger while Bell is going through the training with Ais and Irma though he did kiss them on the cheek while sleeping.
Next chapter Bell will meet a couple of women who are looking for someone.
