Waking up early in the morning, Diana greeted with a hint of redness all over her face. It has always been like that. And, sometimes I would catch her looking at my junk, taking a quick glance at it, then greeting me normally. There’s been some mysterious thing that has happened to me ever since I came here. I’m a heavy sleeper, so I don’t know what’s happening whenever I’m asleep, so...

Every day, my morning wood would stand tall like normal; however, every single morning my bedsheets would be wet. I even tasted it, and it tasted salty so I thought of it as me sweating in my sleep.

On Diana, perhaps Diana was flustered whenever she sees my morning wood? That’s probably it.

Plus, almost every single day since I came here, I keep having these wet dreams of mine about Master Irene giving me a blowjob while I’m laying down and riding on top of me, not only her even Clara—The best dream, I could ever dream of. It’s been like that for a year. My hormones are going full throttle because I’m living with two incredible beauties. But never once, I woke up feeling tired. I'm always brimming with energy.

I keep asking questions to Diana about Avalon, but all her answers are too bland. I thought there would be some awesome stuff about Avalon, but there’s nothing. I'm not really that interested anyway.

Took a quick shower and wore my training clothes before heading down for my first lesson with Master Irene in a year of my stay here. Yesterday, Lily, one of the heroines of the game, suddenly appeared in the mansion, and also Master Irene made her a disciple too. What a mess. I don’t want to do anything with her after the last fight we had. She’s the last person I wanted to see right now.

Downstairs, I saw Lily wearing a pink tank top and tight leggings which emphasizes her great figure. Beholding her beauty; I almost forgot what she did last time. My heart—! Don’t be tempted by her outstanding beauty! Imagining myself, burying my face in her thighs would feel like bliss to me.

“Oh! Claude, you’re finally here.”

“I apologize for being late. I took a quick shower because I’ve been always sweating whenever I wake up for some reason.”

After Master Irene called me, it instantly changed upon hearing my response on why I’m late and became antsy. Suspicious... Nonetheless, she quickly regained her composure and continued.

“Ahem, let’s go inside the training room, and let’s have a sparring match between you two.”

“Sparring again? I thought you’ll be teaching us?”

“It’s testing each other’s current strength. You two are obviously different, so I’ll devise a separate training menu between you two.” Master Irene smiled.

'Okay. I'm so sick of these. Let's just get over this.'

“Oh, I see. Let’s go.”

During all of that, Lily’s unusual behavior caught my attention. She’s been keeping her mouth shut, and obediently listening to Master Irene. Sometimes glancing at me, which of course, bothers me. I need to keep my guard up around her.

We followed Master Irene to the usual training room where I always spend my time every single day. The place is humongous, surrounded by a metallic wall with runic letters inscribed to it, for the purpose of augmentations to the wall, or basically sturdier walls.

“Okay, you two will face off each other with swords and spirits—”

“Wait, a minute! I disagree! I’m clearly in a disadvantageous position since I don’t know how to handle a sword. Plus, I just got my spirit a week ago while princess Lily got her a month ago! Isn’t that unfair?” I retorted to Master Irene.

“Worry not, Claude. I trust you.”

“Trust is not really the—”

“Anyway! Let’s start. Get your swords and ready your spirits. Okay?”

“I—...”

(Don’t worry, Claude. I’ll help you.)

(Haah... Thank you, Diana.)

Lily and I went separated on each side of the room with our wooden swords in our hands. Lily’s face had a serious look, as her gaze was fixated on my figure. The same could be said to me also, but for a different reason. Intensely staring at her breasts, mulling over how come she’s young and her breast is huge, although not big as Master Irene’s breasts because she’s on a whole another level.

Goodness, that's some good genes.

“Ready.”

“Anya!”

Drifts of snowflakes surrounded in front of her, and on the magic circle a majestic white wolf appeared, bearing sharp fangs, and its golden eyes are glaring at me with killing intent; It's Fenrir. Looking at the Fenrir with a solemn look, Diana interrupted my thoughts.

(Claude, look, a puppy.)

(Huh?)

(So cute~)

(Focus, Diana, focus.)

(Aight~!)

“Let’s start,” I said.

It made Lily confused. “What? Where’s your spirit?”

“What spirit?”

“Don’t give me that crap, Cloud. Father already told me.”

“Who the heck is Cloud?”

“You? Who else?”

“For your information, my name is Claude, not Cloud. Please remember that.”

“I-I apologize...”

“Hm...? Who the...”

Lily apologetically bowed to me, catching me off-guard. I began doubting if I’m hearing or seeing things right, as from what I remember she’s stubborn and prideful because her brothers and father spoiled her

Until this day, I still remember the gruesome scene of what she created by killing that person in the most horrendous way possible. At least for me. It’s my first time seeing someone get killed in front of me. She’s not a person that I need to mess with. Remember Claude, even though she’s extremely beautiful, don’t forget she’s scary. Plus, I have Diana, Master Irene, Clara, and Stephanie, so keep it down to your pants, boy. Remember, no horny.

Don’t be tempted by your worldly desires. Don’t give in to temptation, no matter how much horny you are. Don’t give in—I know I can do it.

Then she coughed.

“Ahem, anyway, let’s start.”

“All right, you two. Get ready. On your march, set, go!”

After Master Irene announced it, the Fenrir howled and icicles bridge materialized on the ground, aiming at me. Because of that, I started running on the side, but those icicles were following me.

“You’re not getting anywhere,” said Lily.

Although there’s a big difference in terms of our speed, she’s gliding over the icicles bridge that's following me, using it to catch up on me. Glancing at her, she’s gripping her sword tightly and jumped from the ice, lunging at me with her sword overhanded, swinging it down on me. And so, I blocked it with my sword.

After blocking it with my sword, I push her to get away from her, yet she still attacked me despite staggering; she thrust her sword into my chest, to which I responded by using my wooden sword to make the sword slide on the side. Following it, I lift my left leg, knee kicking her on the right side of her abdomen, but it was once again blocked by this ice block.

“Huh? How?!” I said.

I saw a glimpse of Lily smirking.

Not letting myself get caught off-guard, I promptly used my elbow to strike Lily’s face because it’s the only thing I can use; I don’t have enough space to swing my wooden sword, so I improvised. However, as expected, a block of ice materialized once again. Suddenly, I saw a glint at my side.

(Up-above, on your right, Claude)

On where Diana pointed, the Fenrir was in the air, who’s about to pounce me with ice needles hovering around its body. With little time to spare before I can fully evade that, locking my eyes on a spot far away from here; I then gathered my quintessence.

[Shifting Point]

In an instant, I disappeared in a blink of an eye, finding myself in a new spot far away from where I was earlier. I glance back at where Lily was and saw her face full of shock and disbelief, not only her, even Master Irene. Over this week, I’m practicing by myself without Clara or Master Irene, so it’s to be expected. Now, I need to rethink my game plan to defeat Lily. I can only use Shifting Point once, since using it more than once, or else I’ll get lightheaded.

Then I saw Lily and her Fenrir charging toward my direction once again.

(Diana, can you help me?)

(Sure~ Claude, anything for you~)

I needed some assistance from Diana because I won’t last long against Lily, from her vicious attacks. Because something caught my attention, Lily deliberately was trying to crush with everything she can from that one swing and even double-teaming me with her Fenrir. She’s desperate on winning.

Summoning the physical bodies of the spirits can drain one’s mana faster; thus I made a conclusion because of it. From the looks of it, in an effort to defeat me, Lily sought to finish the fight as fast as she can. Even if I try to evade or block all her attacks, it won’t work as I can’t do it with only my physical abilities, plus we’re using wooden swords which are on a different level than hand-to-hand combat.

Then I yelled. “Diana!”
