A faint trace of dense mana fills up the air on the training ground. Some students already felt uncomfortable.
"Brielle…" I said, tapping my sword to clear the mana around.
Out of the smoke, the person walked towards me. The familiar white-haired old lady, who once crossed paths with me.
"Long time no see, Boss Llie! I've heard something interesting so I'm here" said Brielle, tidying up her uniform.
"You should be mindful of your surroundings when you're not in the battlefield, Brielle"
When Brielle looked around, my students already surrounded her in formation. Brielle analyzed their formation, and laughed.
"Y'all clever bastards!"
"Mind your words. Now, don't even think about trying to harm them"
Brielle soon retracted her swords, which were already behind everyone's neck. The students weren't even aware of it. Fear filled their expressions.
"I need to report something to you after this. But, as you can see, I need to teach those babies first. Some of them look promising from their backgrounds" said Brielle, with a face full of excitement.
"Background, huh? Although they're up to the academy's standards, they won't be able to survive out there" I said.
Brielle looked a bit confused, and laughed when she finally got what I meant.
"Sure thing, Boss!!"
Brielle happily proceeded to do her job, while I continued to teach my students about their formation.
.
.
.
When we finally finished polishing other formations, the other side of the training ground was full of students laying around, except for the almost-faint top students. I know that my students were curious about what just happened, but I told them to get into formation.
"Formation!"
The students instantly positioned themselves. Brielle flicked her finger, and summoned her sword, and instantly dashed against Ushmila. Ushmila knew her role and instantly dragged her fights into the middle of the formation. She, Gavesha, and Idaline are constantly pressuring Brielle, while Leiron and Dinesh disturb her movements in the right moments.
"These guys…what did you teach them, Boss?!" said Brielle, continuously summoning her sword over and over.
A lot of clashing sounds and punches significantly increased along with the intensity, until a gap showed in Brielle's movements.
"Ushmila! Gavesha!" said Valeria, instantly activating her eyes to stop Brielle's spell.
"What?"
The instant Brielle loses her composure, Ushmila and Gavesha strike Brielle with all they have. A loud thundering sound emerged, and dust covered the ground. Unsurprisingly, Brielle withstood that.
"...you brats. Let's see if you can take this" said Brielle, picking up the blood on her lips, and flick her finger again.
Multiple summoning spells opened up, covering the sky like a cloud. This is one of her annoying spells, Autumn Season.
"Good luck!" I said, as I commanded my shadow to cover me.
The students froze, struck by awe and fear of the spells covering their heads. Valeria uses her eyes again and tries to read the movements of the mana of the spells. She then laid a mana thread around the ground, supposedly safe.
"Follow the thread!"
As soon as the spells are activated, the rest immediately follow the thread without making any mistake. The swords started to fall rapidly. Only, if Brielle was an amateur, they would have succeeded their plan.
"You know? There's a reason I used Autumn" said Brielle, instantly disappearing from their sights.
Valeria indeed made a great choice to lay out a path. If only she knew that the path she saw was built intentionally for her to find. As the swords reached before their heads, Brielle picked those and slashed them instantly, and stabbed it to the ground where it was supposed to land on. Switching to magic and then back again to sword technique constantly, making her opponents full of gaps because of the confusion it caused.
"Ugh?!"
"Wha-?!"
After the 'fall' is done, what is left of the students is just their body, full of cuts and even wounds they don't even know about. Brielle stood in front of them, not showing any sign to stop.
"That's why, kids! You need to think about everything first before you do something!" said Brielle, flicking her finger again.
The students struggled to keep their composure, but were still trying to somehow defend against another attack. Valeria, with her eyes starting to bleed, trying to read the mana in the sky, only to find nothing formed there.
"...what?"
Brielle laughed, looking at the clueless faces her opponents made.
"Who said it was gonna be the same spell?"
Gavesha noticed something was wrong about the swords' positions.
"Everyone! The ground! She turned it into a giant summoning spell!"
All of them finally looked at their surroundings, only to notice that they're late. The spell is already finished.
"Here comes the Spring!"
~Null~
*(Crash)
The spell immediately shattered, as if it was a piece of glass.
"That's enough, Brielle. Any longer and I will not let you go without a debt" I said, covering my students with my shadow and healed them.
"Okay, Boss. But, you sure trained them better than those brats' teacher" said Brielle, pointing to the other class, whose top students were watching the fight the whole time.
Alfa, Rubert, Dafhina, and Meera just stood there, confused about what just happened. Considering it's them, hopefully it will become their motivation to change for the better.
"They're still young. What are you hoping for? Anyway, do you guys still think I'm the worst opponent when it comes to using magic and sword?" I asked, looking at the students who were already healed.
Their silence was enough of an answer. If only they could see Brielle when she's genuinely hunting someone down. The novel only mentioned some weird mercenary was roaming the West Continent like a madman slaughtering every monster, I never thought it was Brielle at all. Thankfully, she's somewhat more friendly than I thought. After our 'exchange', she insisted that I hire her to form a mercenary to 'operate' more swiftly on the Central Continent.
Looking at how sharp she is to notice the maids' fighting style, she must've met some of my maids when she's on Central. I sent them in disguise to provide more support to halt the invasion at least until I got the justification to go there, but her proposal really helped a lot considering her background.
.
.
.
.
But, what kind of mercenary named Daycare Mercenary?!
…
While the fight was still going on earlier, the 'elites' realized that one part of the fight knocked their pride little by little. Consistency, precision, execution. All of that was being displayed, by the class they all thought to be inferior.
"I'm sure it's just because they worked together that they can push the guest to a defensive battle. Don't you think so, guys?" asked Rubert, trying to deny the sight in front of him.
No one answered him. They focused on the fight that should've been possible for them to do it, yet failed by their own arrogance. They learned something, even if they can't help it. At last, the part where Valeria showed her strength showed up. No commentary from anyone. Alfa finally noticed the thing that has been bugging her since the fight started.
"That student, Valeria, right? That girl is reading the mana flow at a really terrifying speed…" murmured her.
"What…is that movement? It's more stealthy and more powerful than ours"
More and more flaws are finally discovered by themselves. Some students denied that flaw, while the others knocked their pride full of arrogance like some measly sand castle.
"But, they still lost to that guest in the end. Though, that instructor…" said Alfa, intrigued by my mana.
Without any more information they could gain from the fight, the 'elites' returned to their classroom silently, silenced by their own contemplation.
…
Night greeted the academy at last. Although temporary, the work that is entrusted to an instructor really makes me miss my lovely home. Reports about every single thing that might affect the students must be written down so that improvement plans can be devised accordingly.
*(Knock knock)
"Come in"
A cigarette in her hand, Brielle just entered without minding me.
"Looking busy, Boss? Well, I got something to report" said Brielle, putting some kind of fabric on the desk.
"What is this? A headband?" I asked.
"Look at the symbol on it"
The symbol was a plum blossom flower. If you are familiar with novels, this is definitely a well known fact.
"The martial artists? From the East Continent? Did you…kill someone from their sect?"
"What do you take me for? This one guy is trying to 'persuade' one of your maids under Daycare to join them. He demanded a duel, and she won it. I'm just here to deliver this, okay?"
That means they recognized the martial art I taught them. I'll forgive them if it was just a spar out of curiosity. But, trying to take my people?
"While I'm at it, some fools like them are trying to get some information after learning that my grandkids were taught by you. Should I clean them?" said Brielle, handing me a list of names and some tokens, with a sect symbol on them.
If Brielle already has this information, then their elders must be already informed too. I will see their movements for a while.
"There's no need. Just make sure my maid is safe. The time that took you to deliver this to me must mean their side is already informed too. I just need to make some preparations for their plan next" I said, showing Brielle some scrolls.
"These are?"
"Their elders' message. The maid you're talking about already made a report to me, so I sent someone to intercept their message. I want you to stay calm for a moment"
Brielle, looking doubtful, slowly opened up the scrolls. A sudden change of her expression tells me that the message is really infuriating.
"What is this bullshit? Is this a freaking joke?! Boss?!"
The expected reaction. What kind of elder, ordered their disciples to do something disgusting like ordering some thugs to assault someone to break their spirit, confidently appears, saying they're a savior, and bring them to their side?
"Unfortunately, no. Those bastards are always like that. But, this time, they messed with the wrong person. Brielle, I want you to stay put and train the maids for a few days"
Brielle smashed the table in front of her, furious about my order.
"What the fuck are you talking about, Boss?! Stay put?! You want me to stay put?!" shouted Brielle, trying to approach me.
"BRIELLE"
An intense mana pressure overwhelmed Brielle, forcing her to kneel instantly. After confirming that Brielle regained her composure, the pressure gradually faded.
"Thank you for trying to stay calm again. As for those elders, I already made a deal with someone from there" I said, giving Brielle a wooden token.
"A deal? With the Unorthodox bastards?" said Brielle, picking up the token.
She stayed silent after looking at the signed name carved on the token. Even Brielle, who is mainly on the North and Central Continent, knew that person. There's Orthodox, Unorthodox, and lastly…
"Demonic Sect? Moreover, Heavenly Demon?!"
The Demonic Sect. Just because there is a demon who gained the title 'Demon King', doesn't mean that they're the only high ranking demon. I think it's about thousands of years ago when some demons started to get greedy, trying to gain dominance over other demons. There are those who joined the war, and there are some who decided to leave the territory with their family and settle down on other continents.
Fast forward, the blood of those demons runs through some of the people now. In the West, they formed a family with the same lineage. There are those who formed a big adventurer party like in the Central. North? They scattered around the continent, living as normal people. Although there are some who still confidently show their true identity. I think the 1st Order of Cavalry Unit has someone who has the blood of a high ranking demon run through their veins.
As for the East, because of their differences in teachings and principle, they still stand tall as a powerful sect even now. I think the high ranking demons who settled there were so powerful that even the current Heavenly Demon still retained the power from their ancestor. Even if that power comes with some kind of restrictions because their body is not completely a demon.
"How do you even get to send a message to that big shot?"
"Well, I just met their spy some time ago. When I mentioned something that might interest their leader, their attitude turned really badly. Although, we got the deal sealed in the end"
"Something that might interest that kind of person?"
I then put a piece of paper on the desk. Brielle looked really confused, but once she connected the dot, she smiled slyly.
"Are you kidding me?! Did you plan all of this? If so, you're one fucking terrifying lass I've ever met, hahaha!" laughed Brielle, holding her stomach.
"Stop laughing, will you? I initially planned to take the initiative to make those Demonic Sect followers indebted to me. But, the chance to bring down those geezers suddenly appeared? Of course I need to utilize it"
On the paper, was written some kind of verse from a book, along with a name connected to those geezers from the Orthodox. That Heavenly Demon will instantly know what information I have for them.
"Go back to your own room now. There's still something I need to finish tonight"
Brielle looked around, as if sensing something. Or maybe, someone.
"Oh? Well, I'll leave you to do your business, then" said her, with a grin on her face.
As she closed the door, I flicked my finger to move the shadow hands to help me change into some kind of nightgown. In case, a certain person came full of hunger. Just a few moments later, a knock broke the absence of sound.
"Come in"
The door opened, but this time, it's showing Yozita with a letter on her. She instantly locked the door, fully exposing her intention.
"She sensed me even though I've completely hidden myself well, huh? Anyway, still working? I was hoping to get my fill of you tonight" she said, nonchalantly undressing herself.
"I don't know if I should be grateful that you're becoming more open with me like this. Can you wait here for a little bit? My work is almost done" I said, signaling Yozita to sit on my lap.
Yozita followed my suggestion, but the way she positioned herself is…
"Love? Do you really have to sit like this?"
Without any hesitation, she started moving her hips, grinding against my lap slowly.
"Y-yeah? Just focus on your work. I'm gonna have some fun by myself here"
I then fully committed to let her have fun with my body however she wants to. She started moving again and now trying to kiss my neck. Her hands fully trust her own hips to please herself, and let each hand caress my body.
"Your…thigh, the muscle…made it really feels good"
A little sweet moan started to come out of her mouth. I then casted a spell to block sounds from leaking out. Yozita doesn't even mind it, she's already drowning in pleasure. My thigh started to feel wet, and Yozita started to go wild as well with her kisses.
"You know I can't focus if you keep moaning right in my ear, right?"
It's all pointless. Yozita was already drunk on pleasure and she didn't hear me at all. She started undressing me and caressing my abs. Lustful look already covered her face, even she's not realizing that she's drooling all over my body.
.
.
.
Times passed, and her moans getting louder. She's moving her hips faster and with so much force. She keeps whispering my name over and over. Looking at her like this, I can't help but tease her a little. So, I lift up my leg suddenly, and it made her instantly climaxes. Her whole body is convulsing, full of pleasure. When she was about to fall on the table, I grabbed her body, still twitching.
"Did you really that pent up that you grinds my thighs for two hours straight? You can't even let me have some fun with you now"
After I rested her body on my bed, I'm planned to get some fresh air. Just before I'm trying to leave, Yozita hugged me from behind.
"Stay with me. Or I'll hate you for the rest of the week"
"Just like in the past?"
No answer. Maybe that memory is still a sensitive matter for her.
"I'm sorry. Let me just dry some of your sweet juice, okay?"
*(Flick)
After I undressed myself, Yozita already spread her arms widely, anticipating to hug me as soon as I went to bed.
"Okay, okay"
She instantly wrapped herself around me, covering me with her scent. She started rubbing my abs again, only to retract her hand when she realized I was watching. Does she…
"Do you always have a thing for abs? You always loved to touch mine" I said, pulling her hand back to my abs.
It took her a while to come up with an answer.
"I couldn't do it…"
"Huh?"
"I couldn't do it last time! Back in our previous lives!"
.
.
.
"That long ago?! You mean that time when you caressed my abs out of nowhere?! That's when you opened the door?!"
I immediately got up, hearing this shocking truth.
"It was only yours!"
.
.
.
"Huh? What does that me-?!"
Yozita instantly pulled me down, and sat on top of me.
"I'm only like this because of you! I can't forget that scene even if I wanted to!"
"Scene?"
She started rubbing me again.
"That time, when you told me to pick you up at the gym, you said to wait in the dressing room since you are the only one left. And suddenly, you came out, fully naked in front of me. Trying to flex it!"
That happened?!
"Gaaaah! Now you make me remember something embarrassing! Stay put!"
After she said that, she's coming closer, right on top of my abs. She then started grinding, more heavily this time.
"Are you planning to-"
"Shut up!" said Yozita, covering my mouth.
Looking at her like this again, I pulled her arms and spread them to lock her in her position. Making sure she won't back down at all.
"Let's see how long you're gonna endure it this time" I said, commanding my shadows to start pleasuring every part of Yozita's body.
After that, we both really went at it multiple times. We lost count after at least ten times. The next morning, Dinesh said that Yozita was really tired and losing focus for some time. I mean, Yozita spent her whole stamina on some…'exercise', you can say.
