The line didn't take long before Sid was next. And he was hesitant like most, but he put on a brave face in front of Elaine. And so he stepped up to his Wasp and quickly killed it with a slice across its abdon. The mana quickly entered his body, and he was filled with an intense feeling of excitent and joy.
"Wow, this feels so... Mmmmh," Sid muttered.
Elaine was worried, and Rya was observing him, making sure that Mana Lust wouldn't get the best of him.
"That feels... Really good. Wow," Sid said with a blush on his face.
He was embarrassed because Elaine was watching.
"Are you alright, Sid?" Rya asked.
"Y-yes. I'm fine. I just never expected it to feel like this," Sid replied, his voice trembling slightly but filled with a newfound resolve.
"I hear you. Do you think you can slay another one in a few minutes, or would it be better to wait until tomorrow to regroup?" Rya asked, her brow furrowed with concern.
"Can... I try again?" Sid asked, determination flickering in his eyes like a fla igniting.
"Of course," Rya replied, offering him an encouraging smile that bolstered his confidence.
"Good job, Sid. I'm proud of you," Elaine cheered, her voice ringing with genuine admiration.
"Th-thank you," Sid blushed, a faint pink hue spreading across his cheeks as he soaked in the praise.
"Now, go to the end of the line, cadet. We don't have all day!" barked Sir George, his commanding tone cutting through the mont.
"Yes, sir!" Sid saluted sharply, a mixture of eagerness and apprehension swirling inside him.
Elaine let out a relieved sigh as she watched Sid effortlessly dispatch the monster; the way he handled the creature instilled in her a sense of possibility. As he walked past her, she couldn’t help but notice how his once-boyish features were becoming more defined, his shoulders broader, and his jawline more pronounced. Her heart raced at the realization.
'Was Sid always this handso?' she wondered, a flutter of sothing unfamiliar stirring within her.
"Next!" Sir George called, his voice urgent.
Elaine snapped out of her daydream, shaking her head to clear her thoughts. With a deep breath, she stepped forward, taking her position next to the writhing wasp that struggled futilely to escape. It was being firmly restrained by T7, the golem, its sturdy fra holding the creature in place as it buzzed angrily, desperately trying to bite her with its jagged mandibles. The tension in the air was palpable, and Elaine steeled herself for the task ahead.
'Just imagine it's an insect that tried to attack you,' Elaine told herself. The Willow wasp then tried to use its stinger. 'Gah!?... A really big insect. Alright, I can't let Sid down. You got this.'
Elaine took a deep breath and steadied her hand. And as she watched the big monster in T7's hands writhing around, trying to stab her. She knew she could do it.
Then with one quick movent, she sliced off its abdon. The wasp had a silent scream before it died. Its legs are twitching.
'Okay?... I an that wasn't hard at all, but I don't know why everyone was acting like—agh? L-Like—Oh, Goddess. W-What is going on?'
Elaine stood there, her chest rising and falling rapidly, a wave of exhilaration surging through her as the energy of the mana enveloped her. It flowed into her Elite Level Mana Vein, which had the remarkable ability to absorb more mana than any of her peers, save for Sid. The sensation was intoxicating, an electrifying rush that felt both foreign and exhilarating, leaving her in a state of dizzying confusion.
"Aahhh, ah, ah," Elaine moaned, caught in the throes of the overwhelming magical energy.
'Just close your eyes and focus on sothing else,' she told herself, desperately trying to regain control. To distract herself, she envisioned the stern cleric from the orphanage barking orders, commanding her to clean up the ss on the floor. But her thoughts quickly derailed as Sid's image flashed in her mind, stirring sothing deep within her.
'Sid!? W-What is happening? G-Get out of—'
"You're so beautiful... Here, let help you with that," Sid's voice was a soft whisper as he moved behind her, his warm presence enveloping her. He placed his hand over hers, which clutched the rag intended for cleaning.
Elaine's heart raced as they sank lower to the floor, each of them on all fours, working to clear away the dirt together.
"You missed a spot," he pointed out, his voice smooth and teasing.
"W-Where?" she stamred, feeling a mix of anxiety and excitent.
"Right there," he directed, guiding her hand to the tiny patch she had overlooked. But in doing so, his lips brushed tantalizingly against the side of her neck.
"D-Did I get it?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, heart pounding in her ears.
"No. You missed again," he replied, his breath sending shivers down her spine.
"Where is it?" she asked, her mind racing with both confusion and desire.
"Right there," Sid said again, leading her hand to the sa spot. His lips grazed her neck again, eliciting a soft moan from her as she instinctively arched her back and pressed her hips against him.
"Did I get it this ti?" she breathed, feeling a heady mixture of frustration and anticipation.
"No... Let’s try again," he murmured, his lips brushing against her skin once more with an intimacy that left her breathless.
"Mm," she moaned instinctively, surrendering to the sensation as she began to sway her hips, grinding against him, lost in the thrill of the mont.
"You need to clean it first. Then I can take care of you," he whispered, voice low and encouraging.
"Yes," she replied, a sultry smile crossing her lips as she glanced around the orphanage. Realization dawned on her that they were alone, and the wicked excitent rose within her as she prepared to truly indulge in the mont. But just as she pushed her hips back, she heard a familiar voice call out.
"Hey Elaine!? What are you doing?" Rya's concerned tone echoed softly in her mind.
"I'm cleaning," she answered, a mixture of defiance and amusent in her voice.
"Cleaning up? What is she up to?" Nieren's voice followed, skeptical and curious.
"Cleaning," Elaine insisted, determination lacing her words.
"By shaking your butt? Elaine! Wake up!" Yuliana's voice sliced through the air, sharp and urgent, more commanding than her daughters’ playful calls.
"Goddess! I'm cleaning the floor, Mother! Just leave alone—" Before Elaine could finish her protest, a sudden splash of icy water struck her like a shockwave, sending jolts of cold racing through her body. Her eyes flew open wide, and she lunged forward, colliding headfirst into the sturdy edge of the wooden bucket with a dull but painful thud.
"Gah!" she yelped, pain blooming in her forehead.
Shocked and disoriented, she clutched her head and darted her gaze around the training grounds. Sir George stood nearby, lightly tossing the empty bucket aside, with a bored and annoyed expression.
"W-What just happened? Why would you do that?" she asked, still reeling.
"You were standing there daydreaming, Lady Elaine," Sir George replied, as he wanted to get through the rest of the other trainees, and Elaine was holding up the line.
"D-Daydreaming? I was..." she trailed off, the words evaporating as her mind scrambled to catch up. She glanced around and caught sight of the other children, their faces lit up with mischievous grins and barely contained laughter.
"Were you having a good dream?" a young boy chirped, his tone teasing.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about," Elaine shot back defensively.
"You were dancing all weird and mumbling to yourself!" another boy chid in, his laughter ringing like music in her ears.
"Oh, shut up!" Elaine snapped, trying to reclaim her dignity as she turned to retreat to the end of the line, where Sid stood. But before she could take more than a few steps, a fluffy towel swirled around her, yanking her backwards.
"Gah!? Sis!? What are you doing?" she exclaid, bewildernt flooding her voice.
"You’re soaked and your day is done," Rya declared matter-of-factly, moving with purpose as she vigorously dried her sister’s dripping hair.
"What do you an, 'I’m done'?" Elaine protested, bewildernt deepening as she tried to wrap her mind around her sister’s declaration.
"You were experiencing Mana Rush. No more monster slaying for you today," Rya explained, a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
"B-But... But..." Elaine stuttered, her voice trailing off, tangled in a whirlwind of frustration and disappointnt.
"No buts. You need to go with Mom and rest up," Rya asserted, giving Elaine a light slap on the behind.
"Ow! Hey!" Elaine yelped, rubbing her sore backside as indignation boiled within her. She glanced around at her fellow trainees, their laughter echoing in her ears, each giggle and snicker a reminder of her embarrassnt. The Half-Elf wanted to pout and sulk in the mont, but then she noticed Sid watching her with an expression she couldn’t decipher, a tingling warmth creeping into her cheeks as a blush washed over her.
'Damn it! How am I going to impress him if sis keeps babying ?'
"Well, co on, Elaine. Let's get you changed," Yuliana said.
"Yes, mother," Elaine replied.
Rya looked around at the other children and glared at them.
"Alright, no one gets to slay their second monster if you can't behave yourself," Rya threatened.
The other kids instantly stopped laughing and quickly straightened themselves.
'God, I forgot how cruel children can be. But at least that Sid kid is a good one,' Rya thought.
Rya took a mont to look over the other children. There were only a few left that needed to slay their first monsters. And then the cadets will be taking their first steps in becoming Maja Warriors.
"Alright, let's get through the last of you. Sir George, take the lead," Rya said.
"Yes, Ma'am!"
Rya stepped back and watched as the last five kids faced their monsters. Once, Rya didn't see any other kid experiencing Mana Rush, she gave Sir George the go-ahead to have a second round.
Once the children finished their training, they were given a break. The kids were excited and started talking with their friends.
"Did you see how strong Sid was? He could easily beat up the big boys if he wanted to," a girl said.
"Yeah, was his uniform always that small on him? Did he gain muscles or sothing?" Another girl asked as they glanced over at Sid, who had rosy cheeks, and he looked uncomfortable.
"No, silly. We are just used to him sitting around all day. We should totally start playing with him more."
"Oh, yes! He's really sweet and we would have so much fun!"
The three girls giggled, but Bethany was watching Sid carefully. He did change a bit after slaying his monsters. Even Elaine changed slightly as well. But it was unstable for the 14-year-old teen. She wanted Sid to herself, but she had no idea why.
'I can't let these other girls have him. I need to protect him.'
Bethany watched as Sid left the training grounds and went towards the bathrooms. He was walking gingerly as if he had pulled his groin muscle.
'Perfect, now is my chance.'
Bethany followed Sid and hid behind a corner. Once she saw him go inside the bathroom, Bethany waited a minute or two before she decided to sneak in. She slowly opened the door and peeked inside.
Sid's groaning can be heard loudly from the first stall.
"Oh goddess," he moaned.
The images of Elaine's cute butt swaying in front of everyone were burned into his mind. His crotch was killing him.
'Why is this happening to ?'
Sid was still trying to figure out what he had done wrong to anger the Goddess Iyolka when he suddenly felt a cold chill run up his spine.
'Am I being watched?'
Sid tried to listen for the person's footsteps, but his blood was pumping in his ears.
'I need to take care of this sowhere private. I think I can use the bushes as a hiding spot.'
Sid waited a couple of minutes more before flushing the toilet. He made sure to wash his hands thoroughly before leaving the bathroom.
"Ahh!" Bethany scread in surprise.
Sid looked up at the window above the chamber pot, and he easily jumped up and grabbed the windowsill with his fingers. He hoisted himself up and crawled out, landing gracefully on the other side.
Bethany didn't see him leave and waited there for Sid. She was going to jump him the mont he ca out of his stall, but the sudden sound of a fae-chamber pop flushing made her panic and hide. She was so scared of being caught that she didn't notice Sid jump out of the window and escape.
Sir Richard ca out of a stall a few doors down.
"Huh? What are you doing here, Cadet?"
Bethany jumped and quickly saluted the knight.
"I-I was just, um," she stamred.
Sir Richard raised an eyebrow and walked closer to her.
"Well?"
Bethany was sweating and trying to think of a lie.
"I thought this was the girls' bathroom."
"Hmm." Sir Richard looked her up and down and then snorted.
"It's fine, Cadet. I've seen many a young lady get lost around here. Just make sure you don't make the sa mistake twice. Dismissed."
Bethany breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Yes, Sir!"
"Good. Now, get out."
Bethany quickly turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
'What a disaster.'
Sir Richard smirked as he watched her leave.
'This is the third ti I caught her in here. I wonder who she has an eye on.'
His eyes glanced over the bathroom stalls and landed on Sid's. Where he thought he saw that cadet nad Sid hurrying out the window, and thought it was unusual.
'That kid is definitely trouble. I guess that's what he gets for having a Demi-God vein.'
He shook his head and headed back to his office.
