Chapter 37: progress
"Very well...you're doing well....no, that's the way to do it for a Sword God style student!" Ghislaine said.
Yesterday I lost my virginity with her and asked her to help me in my training in the Water God style, obviously, she doesn't know anything about that but I just asked her to supervise me with her Demonic eye.
"Shit..." I muttered as I let my Touki leave my sword.
"...how about I see how that little girl Isolte does it and I'll explain it to you in detail?" Ghislaine said with a smile.
Since yesterday she has become more affectionate with me and now we are in the training yard of the central dojo.
"Yeah, that's fine with me, I'll see you tomorrow then?" I said as I wiped the sweat off my forehead.
"Yes..." She leaned forward and kissed me deeply, thank God no one was around.
And since yesterday, she's been very mean to me. Obviously, since I defeated her in a marriage duel, she's technically my wife now.
And I excuse myself by saying that she's helping me in my training in the Water God style, which is true, but even so, it's to avoid misunderstandings, besides that I noticed that Eris has been acting more coldly with me.
I don't know why, nor does Ghislaine, but it's not something that really interests me, the damn tsunderes are a pain in the ass.
...
"... right, and after that, just gather the Touki into your sword, not like you normally do, your style makes your sword harder, our style makes it like a repellent, and you must learn how to manipulate your Touki that way" Isolte explained in front of us.
I was sitting next to Nina and Eris was standing next to Ghislaine.
"Alright, can you give us a demonstration?" I said as I looked at Ghislaine.
"All alright, pay attention," Isolte said as she raised her sword and got into an attack stance, Eris did the same and stood in front of her.
In order of this Ghislaine lifted her eyepatch revealing her demonic eye and she looked directly at Isolte's sword.
And there was that thing again... that aura surrounding Isolte's sword, I looked directly but I couldn't see anything but a sort of oscillation in the shape of the sword.
"Alright, attack" Isolte declared and immediately Eris lunged at her with a long sword of light.
I could see the process again, the technique was perfect in every way, it's literally a blade of light and it went straight to Isolte, but she simply cut the technique with her sword and the technique disappeared.
Eris growled in frustration and looked at me out of the corner of her eye but quickly looked away.
Strange...
"Well, could you see it well?" Isolte said as she looked at us.
Nina nodded seriously to my surprise as did Ghislaine, although she had already seen it in a more technical way.
"Alright, who wants to try it first?" Isolte asked as she looked at us.
"May I?..." Nina muttered as she raised her hand.
"Of course," Isolte replied.
They both got into the Water God stance, though Nina looked visibly uncomfortable at this.
"Alright, on the count of three I'll attack you in the chest, you must repel my attack," Isolte said and Nina nodded seriously, she closed her eyes for a moment and then sighed deeply.
"One...two...three!" Isolte shouted and lunged at NIna at high speed, not at that of a swordsman of our level, she would give her the speed of an advanced level...but her style is not based on speed.
With one accurate movement, Isolte attacked NIna diagonally right in the chest, both swords clashed, but nothing more, there was no repelling or anything.
"Concentrate if you want to learn our techniques!" Isolte screamed as she started attacking NIna faster.
"tch.." Nina clicked her tongue in frustration.
With her level, she could defeat Isolte with a long sword of light but that's not the point of this training.
"hiyaaa!!" Nina screamed as she deflected an attack from Isolte, that created an opening and with a well-aimed hit to her rib, Isolte went rolling to the ground.
"w-well...that's one way to do it..." Isolte muttered as she got up from the ground.
"I did?" Nina asked.
"You're kind of getting the hang of it, but you need to refine that technique," Isolte said and Nina smiled at this.
Nina looked at me and I nodded at this.
"Very well, that would be all for today, I also have my own training with the Lord God of the Sword," Isolte said as she entered the dojo.
"Alright, I'll ask Ghislaine to help me with my training, see you later...my love" I whispered in NIna's ear putting special emphasis on the "my love".
In response, she blushed furiously and a silly smile appeared on her face.
"Y-yeah...see you tomorrow then..." she responded by kissing me on the cheek and then she got up running back to the dojo.
So only Eris remained, who didn't say goodbye to me, and I don't know where she went...
Ghislaine just shrugged at this and we left the central dojo grounds heading towards the forest for more privacy in every sense.
In the privacy of the forest, I can both grope Ghislaine without worry as well as train without being disturbed and now I was going for the latter.
We walked for about twenty minutes until we reached a random spot in the forest, Ghislaine leaned against a tree and I stood in front of her while unsheathing my sword.
"Alright, could you explain to me the process Nina did my love?" I murmured.
Ghislaine was startled and blushed at this as she looked at me.
"A-ah...yes..." she murmured as she closed her eyes and breathed in and out deeply.
Hehe, it's easy to play with her.
"Yes, that girl's touki moved in her sword very differently than you do, for starters, gather your touki in your sword like you're used to," she said as she took off her white eyepatch.
I said as she ordered and concentrated my Touki on my sword, the way she did it was already as easy as breathing for me, and changing that way would obviously be difficult.
"There it is dear, your Touki fits tightly to your sword wrapping it completely and making it more resistant," she said as she stood behind me and hugged me by the neck.
Oh kitty...it's not the time, although I can't blame her, she'll be ovulating all autumn...
"I see... can you explain to me then how Isolte did it?" I said while looking at my sword.
"Let's see... it's hard to explain, but she gathered her touki in a different way..."
What a discovery...
"Different in what sense?..." I muttered.
"It was as if she fluctuated... and when she repelled the attack, her touki gathered in a single point, this point would be the tip of the sword" Ghislaine explained while she began to caress my chest.
I could only raise an eyebrow at this while I looked at her.
"In what sense did it fluctuate?..." I asked her while caressing her hand.
"Like bubbles that ran through his sword irregularly... and as I said before when he repelled Eris, all that energy gathered at the tip of his sword..." Ghislaine muttered
"gather it at the tip of the sword..." I muttered...
aah...of course...it was that easy, wasn't it?...
In my condition as Sword Emperor, I can now repel long swords of light without a problem...
"Wait, kitty, I want to try something," I said as I separated from his hug.
"Can you look at my touki please?" I said as I got into a Water God style stance.
"Yes, what do you have in mind?" she asked as she took off her eye patch.
I didn't answer and closed my eyes as I concentrated my touki on my sword...no, I didn't stop at just my sword.
I concentrated as much as possible on concentrating my touki on the tip of my sword.
"Now your touki is on the tip, but that would only be until the end" Ghislaine murmured.
"Yes, I know, can you try to attack me? A long sword of silence so you don't kill me" I said with a smile.
"Are you sure?..." she murmured with concern.
"That's why I ask for the long sword of silence," I said with a smile.
"It's okay," she said as she got into an attack position, and the next moment she lunged at me, I could see in slow motion how she launched the attack at me, I could dodge it easily but that wasn't the point.
I could see the attack going for my shoulder, it was extremely slow for my perspective, I resisted the urge to dodge it and I intercepted the attack with my own sword, to my surprise Ghislaine's sword literally bounced off the tip of my sword and she went rolling through the snow.
I stood there in shock looking at my own sword...
I did it...did I do it?...wasn't it too easy?...
I looked at Ghislaine who was getting up from the ground and I helped her.
"Are you okay?" I asked her as I made her get up.
She just looked at me with lust and kissed me deeply, I was so excited that I could only kiss her back.
(crack!)
I heard the sound of a branch breaking and about fifty meters away from us Eris was there looking at us, when I looked at her she ran away without saying anything.
I guess she was surprised huh?...
"That...that was Eris?" Ghislaine asked with labored breath.
"Yeah, she saw us but she looked embarrassed so she left..." I muttered.
"...I see, I'll talk to her later" Ghislaine muttered as she hugged me.
"I just did it didn't I...the flow technique..." I muttered with suppressed emotion.
"Heh, it seems so," she said with a smile.
...
The next day at our training with Isolte I volunteered to go first, this time she would attack me.
Eris for some reason looked upset with me and seemed to no longer want to train with me.
Nina on the other hand was simply engrossed in Isolte's lessons.
"Very well Gino, I will attack you in the shoulder and try to repel the attack," she said.
"Be careful Gino..." Nina said worriedly.
I just nodded and concentrated my touki on the tip of my sword just like I had done yesterday...
"Very well, on the count of three, one...two...three!" Isolte shouted as she started to run towards me, as she said her sword went to my shoulder, I turned quickly and our swords collided, the rumble of steel stunned my ears and Isolte's sword bounced off of mine and she fell back on the ground with a thud.
She looked at me for a few moments with a stupefied expression.
"Gino! That was amazing!" Nina said excitedly.
"Th-that was the... the Flow technique?!" Isolte said in shock and quickly getting up from the ground.
"I don't know... it was?" I muttered with a smile.
"It can't be..." she muttered but closed her eyes and inhaled and exhaled to calm down.
"Very well, now let's get serious!" she said with determination.
The result was that I repelled all of her attacks again, we tried it with Nina and it was the same, even Ghislaine tried it now with a long sword of light, and the same thing happened.
"It seems... t-that's how things are..." Nina muttered with her eyes wide open as she wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at me.
"Gino Britzs right?... from now you..." Isolte muttered as if she couldn't believe her own words.
"From now you... are a Water Saint..." she said almost in a huff as she turned back to the central dojo muttering something to herself.
Even in the face of this scene, I couldn't contain my excitement.
That day I had become stronger.

Happy new year!!
