Looking over the 'spoils'

AN: Were switching back Ahkrinahjun's perspective again

"Haaah…those crazy bitches almost got me."

I glance at my HP to see how close I came to ****.

"Stupid Barbarians and their stupid and there over powered crits.. "

I activated my meditation skill to speed up my mana regeneration. Using my minor healing spell to top myself up periodically. 35 minutes later I fully healed if strapped for mana.

I then looked at the notifications I had received after the fight.

Ok interesting, I never thought I'd get the **** part of this isekai as a quest. Still works in my favor.

I spent the next hour stripping the women of their weapons and clothing, though there wasn't much left to remove. I cast minor regeneration to keep them from dying. After finishing I began meditating to he heal up and refill my mana pool.

As I meditated, I reflected on their skills and appearances burned as were for most of them.

The barbarian came mind to first, she was the and most well endowed of her group. Her blonde hair was short which was to my personal preference, her skin was sunkissed but she was still the palest of the four. Her strength was also of note. I honestly didn't think she was a good choice. I don't relish the idea of a foot difference in height nor did playing the role of support appeal to me in combat. I'll conquer her after the dungeon since I should be able to level myself to tier 3.

Next was the mage she seemed to be a mix of asian and african or at least this world's equivalent. Her looks were good enough and at least she seemed skilled. But that kind of also caused a problem. I'm smart enough to realize the only reason I won is because at the start of the fight she chose the wrong spell. If she's as skilled as I think she is she won't make that mistake again.

That leaves the rogue or the priestess. The rogue strangely enough looks like she's from greece. Chocolate colored hair and bronzed skin. I knew I could take her in a straight fight. I also knew she'd fight dirty without hesitation. She wasn't idle before the fight, she tried to flank me. This made her a gamble. Break her; she'll happily betray her friends and whatever town they live in. Leave with her free will and she'd be a constant thorn in my side.

Then there was the priestess. She was beautiful just like her comrades to be sure. Chocolate skin, black spiral curled hair. I wonder if those were natural or if the tech revolution had included a make revolution as well. No, taking her wouldn't be a problem. The problem came from her lack of combat potential. I basically 2-shot her in that fight. Granted it's likely they never dealt with anyone who actually knew how to rip an adventuring party apart. I'd be willing to bet almost all her skills were in support.

The priestess should wake soon. I have them all stripped, naked, and bound. Mana and Health were topped up.

It was time to chose.
