Training!

I appear back in my Domain and immediately leave for my apartment. I go to the bathroom and take out my phone. I text Asami that I'm going to join Myla and Hino in their training. She immediately replies, saying thanks and wishing me luck. I hop in the shower and decide to Observe the items I got from completing the quests.

Silver Seed, Mythical

This seed is large, roughly the size of your palm. It's a silver color and incredibly tough. This seed has never been seen or grown before. It will grow into an unknown plant within a few hours, if properly fertilized. It requires the blood of a Mythos to fertilize it.

Blue Lotus Seed, Mythical

This seed is big, roughly the size of your thumb. It's a dark blue color and feels squishy. If you touch it, ripples will appear along the surface similar to water. This seed has never been seen or grown before. It will grow into an unknown plant within a few hours, if properly fertilized. It requires the blood of a Mythos to fertilize it.

Sadists Whip Lvl 25, Epic

This Whip was created by a sadistic king. The whip was designed after a crop whip. It's made of Magic Leather and the grip has a few gems embedded in it. The shaft is made from Enchanted wood with more Magic Leather. He used it to give his concubines more pleasure. Anyone whipped by it will feel pure pleasure instead of pain. Hidden Properties: Anyone whipped by this will slowly develop into a masochistic. If they already are one or have developed into one, they will feel much more pleasure than normal.

I quickly finish showering and stare at my inventory screen. I'm more interested in the seeds rather than the whip. I briefly debate planting them now, but I decided against it. I want to be here when they grow, mostly out of curiosity. I return to the hotel room and see Hino and Myla already there.

"Did I keep you waiting?" I ask and they each shake their heads no.

"We just finished a few minutes ago. Are you ready to go?" Myla asks and I nod. On our way out I see they're still wearing the chokers and smile. We walk to the elevator and get off on the first floor. We leave after returning the keys to the front desk.

"So what do you normally do during your training?" I ask after we leave.

"We start with basic exercises. They help us warm up and get ready. Then we'll get the wooden weapons or padded gauntlets as we mentioned before. We'll use those to spar with each other. But we usually just work on what we're struggling with. For me, that would be using my feet. I don't throw many kicks during battle, and I need to work on that." Hino says and I nod. We walk to the joint guild hall while Myla tells us a story. She tells us about the time she first started using her shield. She says she got knocked down by her father gently hitting it. He didn't use much ****, she was just scared. I'm a little surprised to learn that Myla used to be scared of fighting. Especially with how good she seems to be. Once we arrive we enter the building. We go to the same place I had my mana surge and sparred with my gramps. Once we arrive I see Kagiyama, Kallen, and Sugano are here. They have their training weapons in hand already.

"Sorry we're late." Myla says as we walk over to them.

"It's fine, we haven't started yet." Kallen starts before noticing me. "I'm glad you're here Eric, I want to test your skills." He says and I see Kagiyama nod. Kallen tosses me and Myla a wooden sword from a barrel next to him. Sugano hands Hino a pair of leather gauntlets.

"Eric, did the girls tell you what we'll be doing?" Sugano asks and I shrug.

"Kind of, they told me what they normally do here." I reply and she nods.

"Well Eric, to start we run laps around the arena for a while. The girls normally run ten and we try to do sixteen. But d however many you want. Also, we're only training our physical bodies. So there's no using any kind of magic or skills." Kagiyama says and I nod. We walk over to the entrance and start running along the walls. I'm surprised at how well it goes. I'm more than able to keep up, having to slow down a little to not leave them. I'm able to get through the first ten laps relatively easily. I am panting and sweating a bit by the tenth lap, but I'm able to keep going. Hino, Myla, and Sugano slow down before walking toward the middle of the room. As I finish laps eleven and twelve, my legs begin to feel it. After the thirteenth and fourteenth, they're screaming at me. As I finish the fifteenth I slow down and stop. I walk over to the others while panting and catching my breath. I see a familiar green-haired standing next to them.

"Liz? What are you doing here?" I ask, surprised to see her here.

"I'm here for training, what else?" She replies and Myla chuckles before standing up.

"She'll be helping us with the next part of training." Myla says.

"Yep, I'll be using my plants to attack you. You have to avoid getting hit." Liz says and I sigh.

"It's good training. Liz has a really quick reaction time. It's hard to dodge her for long." Hino adds and I nod.

"Yep, and since your done running Eric, it's time to dodge." She says while raising her staff up. Three long green roots sprout from the ground in front of her.
