40 Running Naked

After we played hide and seek it was time for weapon training. Curriculum had changed after our level up, and the remaining students were to begin focus on their weapon of choice. This involved an hour of instruction, followed by four hours of practice. At least that's what it meant for the girls.

For me it was an hour of instruction followed by three hours of Master Asura kicking the crap out of me under the guise of sparring. However the training was sure to have its merits, as she explained my flaws after each time she struck me. I can't say I made any progress during the lesson, however I knew that it would come in time.

As the last hour of training started a tall man in a black suit appeared at her courtyard, Master Asura left me to practice what I had been taught as she went to entertain her guest. I did not see her for the rest of the night, and retired to my room at the designated time.

I filled the bath with hot water and herbs, soaking as I waiting for the girls to return. They had likely stopped to eat, something that I had convinced them to do without me. I sipped the blood from my flask. Enjoying the moment of relaxation.

A pair of hands appeared over my eyes, as my flask was suspended in the air. In front of my Lily had cast off her human appearance, sitting on the edge of the bath with her legs spread, everything open to view. Ash's seductive whisper could be heard in my ear ash she pushed me forward "It isn't going to eat itself" followed by her sultry laugh.

===================================

The next morning when we gathered in the houses courtyard, Floe was once again present. Her eyes decorated with black and purple rings. She bowed to the two girls, cringing as Master Asura approached.

"I apologize for my offense yesterday ladies, this young one has much to learn."

"Floe has assured me that she will work hard to become a valuable member of our squad. After all, no other squad would take her, and the alternative is expulsion from the academy."

"She is technically a Dark Magus, but her only points in dexterity come from the class and level up, much like Lily and dark. She has not learned any stealth skills as of yet. However she is a natural Ice esper, and has an interesting bloodline. If she can change her attitude she will become a great asset to this group. She has already picked up a stealth skill after out conversation last night."

"Our training today will not be as light hearted as it was yesterday. With a new member you will need to learn to work as a group. Only be doing this can this squad succeed. "

"I will be splitting you into two groups, Dark and Floe, Ash and Lily. For the rest of today you will be training while holding hands, your arms will be bound together. You will do everything together, with the sole exclusion of bathroom breaks"

I unwillingly approached Floe, who eyed me with disdain. "I bet you can't wait to get your hands on me can you? You lecherous dog!" I couldn't help but let out a laugh at her words, I was soon joined by the girls and even Master Asura joined in."

Floe looked at us as if we were mad, not understanding the situation. "Believe me" I said "I would rather hold hands with a Master Asura, as she massacred the lich king, while I was butt naked being whipped by a spiked chain by her lady than hold hands with you. "

A seductive purpose entered my mind, "That can be arranged little apostle. " oh god! I thought not you too...

The smell of Floe's decaying flesh filled my nostrils as her hand was pressed against mine. I could not hold in the vomit as her mushy fingers caressed mine. As the contents of my stomach covered the floor, I looked up at Floe. She seemed disgusted as she leered at me. Her Decayed face showing the entire contents of her mouth. A rotting piece of meat floating around in side as she spoke. "What's your problem? At least you get to hold hands with a beautiful woman, I on the hand have to hold hands with a disgusting lecherous boy. I'm sure your head is filled with the thoughts of my naked body..."

Vomit again poured from my mouth as I fell to the floor. Bringing Floe with me. "Stop! I begged, this is torture!"

Floe glared at me. "Torture? Are you saying that you are repulsed by my beautiful self? That a pure and righteous maiden like myself is the weakness of your lecherous ways??"

To the side the girls seemed amused by my plight, as the stood their with grins on their faces, their hands and fingers intertwined together. "Oh poor baby Dark" ash cooed at me "don't worry we will make you feel better tonight"

These insatiable women! Even when I am being tortured they plan on how to use me tonight! Master looked down at me amused. "For the remainder of the morning you four will walk around the campus. You will practice your skills, and get to know each other. After lunch you will return here and spar with the other group. The losers will run 500 laps naked across the campus.

It took me an hour before my vomiting stopped. Lily and Ash were already long gone, and Floe was sitting there with a bored look on her face. I finally was able to muster up the energy to get to my feet, as we slowly walked out of the courtyard.

My entire focus was on keeping myself from vomiting, as I let Floe lead us around. Her actions seemed graceful, her movements light like a dancer, despite the killing intent in her eyes. She seemed to avoid males of all sort, only getting close to groups that were female. To those groups she would smile and happily talk. But the male groups would receive nothing but scowls from her.

In an attempt to distract myself from the nausea I stroke up a simple conversation "why do you hate men so much? I've seen you avoiding them, scowling to keep them away?"

She glanced at me "I don't hate them, they just repulse me. Ever since I was little they just rubbed me the wrong way. Just brushing against a man makes my skin crawl."

"You seem to be ok right now?" I said looking at our hands.

"Yea, it's probably because you're a vampire. You have an abundant amount of yin energy in your body, what's with you?

Why are you so... pukey?"

"A side effect of my gift, everything not associated with my vampirism or the death domain appears as a rotting corpse to me. Looks, smell, feel, living plant life is an exception"

"So holding my hand is..?"

"Literally the most disgusting thing ever"

"Bummer"

Needless to say we ended up doing 500 laps that afternoon. Seeing her naked decaying corpse running next to me, bound to me, arm to arm, will haunt my nightmares for a long time to come.
