Mizuki opens her eyes, half-asleep, groaning,
'That was rude of me to yell at Jin yesterday night' She thought as she remembers what happened yesterday.
'But letting all that out, that made me feel better'
'Although where am I sleeping on?' She thought and she opens her eyes, this time fully awake, she sees a white-colored shirt in front of her, with its soft fabric and it felt very firm. She turns her head up to see...
'Jin?!' She screamed in her thoughts
'I was sleeping in Jin's firm chest?!' She continued
Jin is slowly waking up, before opening his eyes, he yawns and stretches his arms, then he opens his eyes, to see Mizuki still in his chest, but this time awake,
"Hey, good morning. Did you have a good sleep?" He asked
Mizuki blushed lightly, just staring at his beautiful lilac eyes, and his very cute face close up made her blush.
"Y-yeah, I did," She says.
'Well it seems like she feels a bit better after lashing out at me yesterday' Jin thought
'She won't mind if I tease her a bit, would it?' Jin thought with a mischievous face.
"So, Mizuki, how was my chest? Was it very nice to sleep on my chest?" He asked
"Shut up! I just fell asleep on your chest by accident, by accident!" She pouted
"Well, it's fine if you won't give me an answer. Just know this, Mizuki"
"Hm?" Mizuki pays attention to Jin,
"I am always here for you, okay? You can always talk to me whenever, you can even yell at me, just know that I am here to always listen to you." Jin says with a serious tone.
"Jin, I appreciate your concern, but when you say that I can yell at you, that just makes me feel guilty."
"Well, don't feel guilty, I don't mind that you yell at me, as long as you let your emotions out, that's fine with me," He says with an optimistic tone while giving Mizuki a thumbs up.
Even though Jin doesn't mind, Mizuki still feels guilty, because she thinks if she does do that, yelling or letting all her emotions out at Jin, it just feels like she's using Jin as an emotionally relieving device so it doesn't feel right to her. She just nods at Jin without saying anything.
"We really better head home, Mizuki. I think Hana and Shin have already gone home without us." Jin says
"Yeah" Mizuki agrees.
They both leave the lounge and walked in the hallway to the exit of the City Center, once they opened that door, they saw a lot of soldiers outside and saw civilians getting escorted.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the hell is going on here?!" Jin asked,
A cavalry division runs past them, causing the ground to shake, making Jin lost control of his balance. Mizuki helps him get back on his feet, once Jin stood up, Mizuki pointed at Shin,
"Shin is over there!" Mizuki says,
"Let's go, then!" Jin says and grabs Mizuki's hand and runs to Shin. Shin notices them and says,
"Hey! We were looking for you guys, where were you?" He asked
"We were in the lounge, together, cuddling!" Jin yelled back as an answer. Mizuki turned red as a tomato,
"Jin!! Stop!! That wasn't true!!!" Mizuki shouts while looking flustered. Jin had a mischievous smile on his face.
Jin and Mizuki huffed from running,
"So what's with the soldiers and stuff?" Jin asked
"I'll fill you in the details, The Shadow Alliance has declared war on us, we are evacuating the citizens and we are preparing the armies" Shin replied
"War?" Jin says while looking surprised.
"Jin, starting today, we'll work harder on your combat skills and we need to do it immediately, meet me at the training grounds in the Barracks in 30 minutes," Shin says and gives Jin a map of the City Center, the barracks is just a few minutes away.
"Alright, Shin but, why 30 minutes? It's just a few minutes away." Jin asked,
"Yeah, why, Shin?" Mizuki also asks
"Oh, it's because I'm going to work on something and it's almost done so yeah," Shin replied.
"Alright," Jin says. Shin goes away for a moment,
"War, huh," Jin says while looking at the sky,
"It seems like yesterday was our last time, gazing at the beautiful sky, peacefully," Mizuki says.
Mizuki putted on a mischievous smile,
"Well, Jin, since you're going to work hard and vigorously to get better at your combat skills, I give you my support." Mizuki says
"Oh, thank yo-" Jin says but he gets interrupted when Mizuki kissed his cheek, then
Mizuki says, "Well, good luck!" as she runs on ahead. Jin blushed,
"EH?!?!" He yelled.
*********************************************
"My liege, it seems like the Republic of Eleazor is preparing to fight us."
"Good! Just what I wanted"
"Now let's see them lose, miserably to our army."
"Servant, order our General Leo to lead our armies to Eleazor"
"Sure, my liege!"
*************************************************
Jin arrives at the barracks, right where Shin wanted him to go, the Barracks is big, like very big, inside the barracks, soldiers were training their combat skills. He waits outside the Barracks instead of going inside because he thinks he might be interrupting their combat training. He sees Maiko coming out of the barracks,
"Hello, pretty boy," She says in a seductive voice
"Please don't ever call me that, please" Jin immediately says,
'Remember, Mizuki is the only one for you, Jin, DO NOT GET SEDUCED BY HER VOICE!!' He screams that thought into his hand,
Maiko laughs in a sexy way, she touches Jin's cheeks and says,
"You're funny," She says again in a seductive voice.
'Boner, now is not the fucking time, okay?' Jin thought.
Maiko looks *down* there
"Oh, what's down there?" She asks
"Nothing!" Jin says,
Let me check there then, Maiko slowly puts her hand into Jin's thing but she maneuvers her hand away and says,
"You thought I was gonna touch it, didn't you?" Maiko asked mischievously,
'PHEW! THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL!' Jin yells this in his thought.
Shin finally arrives at the barracks where he sees Jin and Maiko,
"Jin! Also, hi Maiko!" Shin says
Jin looked dead inside
"Hey Shin!!" Maiko greeted him cheerfully,
'That bitch! Acting so innocent around Shin' Jin thought
"Hey, Jin," Shin says and Jin paid attention to him,
"Here," Shin says as he gave Jin something wrapped in cloth, Jin opened the cloth and found a sword!
"A Sword?!" Jin shouted
"Yep, that's why I said I wanted you to wait 30 minutes, I had to go to a blacksmith a little far away from here," Shin says
Jin unsheathed the sword, the sword's blade was made of premium platinum metal and shaped like Reinhard's Dragon Sword (for reference only), the sword's hilt had an emblem looking like a shield.
"So, do you like it, Jin?" Shin asked
"Of course I like it!" Jin replied
"I'm glad!" Shin burst with joyfulness.
"I already named it for you, too, Jin" Shin says
"What's the name?" Jin asks
"Grand Tempest Sword" Shin replied
"That sounds cool!" Jin says.
Now Jin replaces
"Now, anyways, Jin, we should start learning combat skills now," Shin says
Jin nodded as an affirmative. Now, they started doing combat training, Jin already knows the basics since the last time they trained, so this time they're advancing through their training.
"Jin, this skill is important in sword combat, your agility and speed in striking, if you can strike faster than your opponent, you'll have the upper hand in combat. Now we are going to train your speed and agility in sword combat." Shin says.
"To train your speed and agility, I've called in someone to help," Shin says
"Hello!" Maiko popped out of nowhere.
'EH?!' He yelled again in his thought.
'Her?! I'm scared for my virginity man' He thought.
"I called her in because she can strike faster than anyone that I know," Shin explained why he called her in,
"Yep, that's right!" Maiko cheerfully agrees with Shin.
"Now, you and Maiko will start dueling once I say duel, got it?" Shin says
"We got it!" Maiko replies
Maiko unsheathes her rapier sword and does her stance, the stance looks like the stance when sword fencers put their sword up in the middle, holding the rapier up.
'I'm gonna predict that she's also gonna strike like a fencer' Jin thought.
"Duel!"
As Shin shouted duel, Jin and Maiko both rushed in at full speed at each other, clashing their swords.
*******************************************
"Are we all ready for the advance?" General Leo asks
"Yes, general, everything is ready" The leader's assistant replied,
"Well then, shall we start?" General Leo says while grinning evilly.
************************************************
Jin gets blown back by Maiko's strikes, her strikes were very powerful and very quick, all Jin could do is just block her attacks, if he lets his defense down, he knows he's gonna get beat by Maiko's quick attacks.
"Are you just gonna keep defending, huh, Jin?" Maiko says, taunting him.
Jin didn't answer, but he thought about what Maiko says, if he keeps defending, it'll just be pointless to fight. His main problem is speed, even though he does have a speed boost spell, it's slow compared to Maiko's speed and at the same time, if he tries to lose his defense and tries to attack, Maiko would easily kick his ass. He is locked into one position, defending.
'I can't find a solution to this, I'm in a dilemma!' Jin thought,
Jin had only one choice in his mind, use his Lightning element,
'It's the only way, again, Mizuki, I'm sorry' Jin thought
'Now, channel my lightning!' He continued.
Purple lightning particles start to appear on Jin's body, a purple, electric aura fading in,
"Eh?" Maiko says, looking intrigued.
"Charge!" Jin yells out, and his mana charged into its max capacity, because of this, Jin transforms into his Pure Lightning form.
"What the hell is going on?!" Maiko asks as she backflips away from Jin.
The shield emblem on Jin's sword also glowed purple as if it's reacting to the immense power this form has. Jin teleports behind Maiko due to his immense speed and strikes her, because of Maiko's fast reflex, she blocked it in time.
"Well, I certainly didn't expect this. Now, this is getting interesting." Maiko says.
Maiko quickly distanced herself away from Jin,
"Blessing of Speed, I beseech thee, lend me your strength and make me strong" Maiko chants, and a gust of wind blew the area, now Maiko's blood-red eyes glowed, indicating a spell has been cast on herself. Jin gave Maiko a cocky smile. As the sky grew darker, two people, with immense power, causing the sky to look even darker. Both of them rushed in, full speed, that even the human eye can't see. They clashed and clashed, causing the area to shake.
"They really went all out, didn't they?" Shin says, laughing a bit.
"You should really stop them, you know" Hana suggests as she turns visible.
"The thing is, I can't" Shin replies
"Why not?" Hana asks
"Jin finally found his reason, and he's working on it, why should I stop someone who wants to achieve their goal?" Shin says.
Hana sighs,
"Okay, whatever you say, little bro," Hana says as she turns invisible again.
'Yes, more, MORE!' Maiko thought as she and Jin kept clashing,
'MORE!' She yells in her thoughts.
Maiko laughs maniacally as she and Jin kept on striking, because of this, Maiko suddenly gets faster and faster than Jin,
'What, what is this? She's getting faster!' Jin thought and she is, getting faster and faster than Jin. This is her signature ability, Bloodthirst, you see, Maiko is a human but has demon blood. Bloodthirst is an ability, only demons have, it's an ability that lets the user slowly get stronger or faster than the opponent, this only activates once a demon meets someone who can match their strength. In this case, Jin matched Maiko's strength but now her Bloodthirst ability finally activated and she is getting way stronger or faster than Jin.
They kept on clashing and clashing until Maiko got the advantage when she strikes Jin a little faster than Jin, Jin gets blown back and gets hit into a tree. His Pure Lightning form is gone. Maiko teleports to his position due to her speed, she sees Jin, unconsciously laying in a tree, a little bruised. Maiko gets closer to his face and nibbles his neck,
"It's been a long time since someone made me feel excited, you're very interesting, you know?" Maiko whispers erotically into Jin's ear. She walks away from Jin, as she walks away from Jin, she bumps into Shin, who followed where Jin fell off to, as they crossed paths, Maiko says,
"Thank you for letting me have fun" while smiling at him. Shin just laughed it off,
Shin goes to where Jin fell down to, he finds Jin, unconscious in the ground next to a tree,
"You did your best, Jin, I'm proud of you," He says while he carries Jin back to the barracks to get his bruises treated.
