This chapter is about Pyrrha giving Jaune an ASMR back massage after a long day of training.

"You know, maybe you need to take things a little bit easier with the training bot from now on," Pyrrha told Jaune as she lugged his sore and aching body back to their dorm.

"I think I was doing pretty well," Jaune remarked, trying to hold himself up.

"The training bot tossed you across the training room!" They reached their room and Pyrrha pressed her scroll to the scanner and it allowed them in. From there, she laid Jaune onto his bed. "Need me to help you with your armor?" she asked, to which he nodded. Rolling her eyes, she unbuckled his armor and laid it onto the floor. "Feeling better?"

"I'm just sore now, but at least I don't have my armor on. I might just take a nap." Jaune grinned.

Pyrrha returned the grin. "That sounds like a great idea, but I've got a better one. How about a massage?" She began cracking her knuckles.

"A what?"

"A massage. I often got them myself during my tournament days, and after a year of them, I took some lessons to use them on myself." She sat down beside him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, I know exactly what to do, and when I'm done, you'll feel much better." She gave him a smile, which he returned.

"Alright, I'll do it." Pyrrha had him strip off his top clothes and laid down on his stomach.

"Okay, now just relax and let me work my magic," Pyrrha assured him. She stripped off her gloves and laid her fingers upon Jaune's shoulder blades. She started by lightly tracing her warm fingertips around his shoulder blades, making a complete circle, then going counter clockwise. "This is a trick my masseuse taught me. By lightly touching the edges of the bones, you can induce a tingling, yet relaxing sensation."

"I can feel it already," Jaune noted, much to Pyrrha's satisfaction. She moved her fingers downward, curling her fingers to scratch at his skin, then she brought them up to his shoulders, where she curled her hands around them and gently rubbed, making Jaune give a long sigh and shift his body. "Wow, you're good at this, Pyr."

"Thank you, Jaune." She proceeded to mend his tired muscles in his back, kneeing them in her hands and caressing his shoulders. Pyrrha, for the fun of it, then wriggled a couple of her fingers in the back of Jaune's hair, pushing her fingertips to the skin and slowly sliding downward onto the back of his neck, where she took one hand and caressed his skin by moving them inward and out a few times, making him hum. She then traced her four digits to the side of his neck and moved them up and down a few times, then repeated this on the other side. "Okay, now stretch out your right arm," she told him, which he obeyed. Pyrrha began rubbing her hand down his arm while gently poking at his skin, which continued to calm his nerves. She switched to his other arm and did the same. When she had finished with his arms, she went back to his backside, rubbing at his lower back and brushing her fingers in between his spinal cord.

"And now for the finale," she carefully whispered into his ear, her relaxed voice sending warm shivers through his body. She started at the top of his head, where she ran both her hands through it, down his neck, over his shoulders (while gently tapping at his skin with her fingernails), over his shoulder blades, down his back, along his sides, and down to his lower region, where she retraced her steps back up to his shoulders, where she went down his arms to his elbows. "And we're done."

"Wow, I feel better already! Thanks, Pyrrha!" Jaune marveled with satisfaction. He stretched out his arms and found them to be normal again, free of soreness.

"Just be careful not to strain yourself or else you'll get hurt more, and my massage was more to help ease the soreness, not cure it," she explained with a smile, content to see that Jaune was happy. "But maybe this weekend, we can go into Vale and find ourselves a masseuse who can work on us both to help us out."

"That sounds like a great idea." Jaune smiled. He put his hoodie back on, then he crawled under his blankets and dozed off. Pyrrha watched him for a moment and decided to do the same, feeling tired as well from working her magic fingers.
