The Need to Do...

"Great to see everyone here," The demon said. "I'll do some final scoring and then let you go."

Noah was antsy to leave, and go fuck a pillar or something, but had to wait for the process to wrap up. The slime girl had at this point gotten used to needing to masturbate every single day, and often multiple times a day, to control her rampaging libido. For someone who prided herself on conquering her fear, and thereby gaining control over her emotions, the new constant eruptions of lust were especially humiliating from how they removed that control.

"Janessa, you get 1000 BP for your performance in Hide and Seek," The demon said. "Even if your performance was less hiding and more just exploiting your ability."

Janessa sighed before flying out of the meeting room, although to where Noah didn't know. The slime girl had grown suspicious of the angel, especially given how much Cammy seemed to dislike her, and what she heard about her last date with Felix. If someone was willing to exploit the rules... that was going to be something.

"Next up, Z and Nox get 2000 BP," The demon announced while turning to stare at the oni and the goblin. "You get 1000 BP for Nox's performance in the hiding from me portion of the BP challenge, and 1000 BP for Z's performance in Buckshot Roulette."

Upon hearing that, Z nodded, and lead Nox out of the room. The oni and goblin were probably off to go train, something Noah knew because it was either them or Janessa she heard whenever she passed by The Dojo.

"In finale, Noah, gets 1500 BP for her performance in Buckshot Roulette," The demon said as she approached the slime girl. "And also my approval. You've grown a lot Noah."

Despite that the demon was the one who had transformed Noah into a slime girl against her will, among countless other things, she couldn't help but smile hearing that before oozing away. After a masturbation session to deal with her overwhelming levels of lust, this slime girl had a lot of planning to do. Thankfully, it hadn't even been an hour in total, so she had plenty of time to get everything she needed done...

Kei Winters had two orders of business to deal with before her date with Felix, with the first being a set of careful instructions to ensure that Jamina didn't fuck up everything, while the second was a trip to Castelilise to study up. She didn't need makeup, and if anything, needed the boy she was seducing again to see her as she really was. The performance, with its prep time, had altogether taken about three hours, had left plenty of time for her to finish these tasks.

"Jamina," Kei Winters commanded once they got back to their shared bedroom. "Listen very carefully to the words I'm saying. When the date starts at 6:00, and you are in the mess hall with Felix, you are going to talk with him about everything that happened before you got here. You can try to get forgiveness, but the main thing is that everything that happened between the two of you will get discussed. Got it?"

"Yes..." Jamina sighed. "Do I have to do anything else?"

"No, that comes later, I'm not going to be there for a bit," Kei Winters explained. "I need to check on something, and it may take awhile. Besides, you and Felix have a lot to unpack."

With that Kei Winters went to leave to meet the nereid. However, on her way out, she left Jamina with a single command, and the one she considered the most important. "Strip naked, and that definitely includes your shoes, as after all, Felix doesn't get to wear anything either."

The cussing that followed from Jamina only caused Kei Winters to chuckle...

Z decided that Nox needed a break from all the **** that usually dominated her training. Besides, she needed to teach the goblin about how to lead, which she chose to interpret as a matter of her learning battle tactics. However, before that could start, she decided to swing around to the kiosks to see if she couldn't pick something up with her new BP, either to help in the oncoming challenge, or to aid her in the goblin's training. Upon arriving to the kiosks, the oni began to scan through the options. That was when she noticed the goblin frantically pointing at one of the options.

• Basic Goblin Package: Gives Nox a much better understanding of what it is like to be a goblin, primarily in understanding her own anatomy, how to take care of herself, and some basic facts about goblin culture in Z's world. This will accelerate the goblin's sexual training, as understanding her own body will help her please others, and increase Nox's acceptance of her new body. 1000 BP

"Well, that was helpful Nox," Z said in genuine surprise. "I'm surprised you're willing to help me select that one, although perhaps even you are finally coming to accept that you are indeed a goblin, and aren't going back to being a human being."

All the goblin responded with was looking to the floor, perhaps unwilling to admit the implication. Which was that Nox had been broken by her transformation, and at this point, just wanted to get through it faster. Z meanwhile purchased the upgrade, and then looked for more. She found two further upgrades which were of great interest to her:

• Harem Hotel Sexual Training Kit: Complaints were heard about a lack of a sexual training kit, and that has been rectified! A full kit loaded with buttplugs, dildos, and lube has been assembled to help any contestant be prepared the best they can be for penetration. This set also comes with instructions if necessary on how to use the toys to gradually build up one's ability to take penetration. (1000 BP)
• Explosive Training Yard: Modern warfare has more than just guns, as after all, bombs play a significant role as well. This will create a new area in the bunker specifically made to safely train with explosives. Grenades, grenade launchers, landmines, plastique, pipe bombs, rocket launchers, missile launchers, and more are all available to train with. This can not only greatly contribute to Nox's combat training, but also potentially be of benefit to other contestants going forwards. (1000 BP)

"While it would amuse me greatly to get the training kit, rest assured I won't... this week," Z said to the scared goblin. "You already got improvement to your sexual ability after all, and we don't have another date with Felix for awhile. However, before I get the other upgrade."

The oni crouched down, and held Nox's head with your hand. "Nox, you were surprisingly responsible with firearms. However, I don't know if that was because of the magic that forces you to obey me, or because you are genuinely responsible. Hence, I'm going to ask you a question, and you are going to answer honestly. Do you think you can handle explosives with care?"

Nox swallowed and then answered. "I don't know. I don't have any experiences with explosives outside of games and stuff so-"

"Alright that's enough," Z said while standing back up. "That's actually a good answer, because you aren't confident, and in this case, false confidence will get you killed, or so horrifically injured you wish you were dead. I know I already said that about guns, but I really really have to emphasize it with explosives. Got it?"

When the goblin nodded this time, Z could tell it was honest. There was no brattiness, or false bravado, but a genuine respect for how dangerous this was. The oni figured that she had finally beaten to a pulp Nox's remaining masculinity, and in that state, she was ready for the task ahead of them.

"Alright, I'll buy this, but we will not be able to do anything with it until tomorrow," Z said while spending the rest of their BP on the explosives yard. "That's not a punishment, but it's because I've been neglecting your leadership training. Tomorrow though, we will start with grenades, and other thrown explosives..."

Castelilise was relaxing again in the hot springs when Kei Winters of all people showed up. More than that, she was naked, and smiling the whole time as went to join the nereid. "Space for another?"

"For someone who looks like you?" Castelilise asked. "Always. But why are you here? Trust me when I say you really don't need my advice."

"Oh?" Kei Winters asked while slid in next to Castelilise in the hot spring. "Humor me. Say I want to really make sure I have a handle on Felix and what he likes."

"You're a teacher who willingly fucks their own students," Castelilise said. "You do this despite the risk of prison time, being hated by your community, and oh yes, basic ethics. The level of lust that implies for someone in Felix's age range alone is enough to ensure that you are perfect for Felix. Someone desiring him that much is basically a perfect kink for him."

"You aren't wrong," Kei Winters, gently to make sure the nereid was willing, put an arm around Castelilise's neck. "Do you think he's scared of his own desires?"

"Of course he is, but I don't have any special insight in how to deal with his issues outside the bedroom," Castelilise continued, while snuggling into Kei Winters. "I think you knew everything I told you before you showed up. After all, our host created you, something I'm sure you know quite well."

"Does that bother you?" Kei Winters looked into the nereid's eyes while asking. "That fact is often something Jamina tries to hurt me with, after all."

"No, it was just the hand you were dealt," Castelilise said. "However, it does mean you have a choice. Do you embrace your past, knowing it is fake, or do you try to be something else? You cannot choose your desires, but you can choose how you deal with them."

"Is that a worry about consent?" Kei asked like she was expecting a punchline. "You're a nereid, and from what I understand, aren't the biggest fan of Felix anyway."

"I can resent being stuck in his harem, given my whole free love thing," Castelilise then got serious. "I also know how traumatizing it is to want something that you think you shouldn't. Before you answer though, tell me, what do you know about nereids?"

"They are water nymphs, what else is there to know?" Kei asked.

"Well, I don't know how they work in mythology, but I happen to know that our lust is so overpowering that those we can't seduce we sometimes ****," Castelilise said. "I know this because that is how overpowering my lust is. I don't have a choice in that, but what I can choose is how to deal with it, and part of that involves knowing, on some level, that it is wrong to traumatize someone just because it brings you pleasure to do so."

"Are you-" Kei was cut off before she could accuse.

"I'm not mad at you," Castelilise cut off Kei Winters. "What you're doing here you have to do, and having any hesitation is something you, understandably, view as a dangerous hindrance. However, I think you're here because you want to know whether I have any insight into how to get Felix to ignore all of that."

Kei Winters took a long pause before she replied. "That's one reason. The other reason is I want you to show me how well you can please a woman."

"I can definitely do that," Castelilise then pulled Kei Winters into a deep kiss. "Lets go find a place that will make this fun for both of us..."

Jamina wasn't ready when Kei Winters dropped her off in the mess hall with Felix. The woman had a disheveled appearance, and whispered something in Felix's ear that made him blush deeply, presumably about what she had doing. That, in combination with that she was naked, left her very embarrassed, and while he was in the same state, that didn't help the situation. Worse though, she knew what they were going to talk about. While thinking through how she was going to approach the topic, she chose to grab fish, and some vegetables for her dinner with him, knowing that Cammy wanted him to eat better.

At first, neither could start, even with her magical compulsion. Jamina could resist the urge to talk about how she had been as a teacher by just eating, and Felix seemed more than willing to indulge her on that shared silence. Neither wanted to address why the other was there, as it was too painful, and too scary to even think about. But eventually, the food ran out, and Kei Winters hadn't come back yet.

"Felix, lets get this over with," Jamina said. "I failed you as a teacher."

"Did Kei-" Before Felix continue, Jamina cut him off.

"Of course she put me up to this, but lets ignore that," Jamina continued, wanting to avoid the worst. "I should've realized you had a disability, and got you resources to help with that. I was too stubborn to see that, and maybe... I could've done better."

"I'm not sure you could have," Felix said, and she wanted to insist otherwise, but then he took continued. "You were a teacher obsessed with effort. You never showed any ability to respect that we had lives outside of your classroom. Unless someone was like Noah, all you showed the ability to do was waste the most precious resource humans have, and that is time. Time I should've spent with Cammy, or heck, time I should've spent studying for another class, I had to instead waste on your class. And the thing is, I wasn't the only student who had to do that."

Felix stood up and started pacing around in front of her. "I remember when I found out I was in your class. I wanted to plead with the principal or anyone else to please assign me elsewhere, because you already had a reputation for ruining people's lives because of having to repeat a year, or worse, dropping out because your fucking class wasn't passable. But that wasn't on the table, and then I found out you were even worse."

"I..." Jamina wanted to retort, but couldn't.

"Jamina, to cut to the end, I think you're a terrible fucking teacher," Felix said, building up steam. "You don't respect anyone's time, and when someone struggles in your class, you blame them for it. Worse, you find a way to get Smith involved, judging by the bullshit you pulled in this timeline."

"Timeline?" Jamina managed to ask before he continued.

"We live in a different, I'd say mostly better world, because Cammy got to 100 VP, but try not to interrupt again," Felix continued to pace in front of her. " I remember how you said that your lower grades proved that your students actually learned more of the material, referencing a study about people at an air **** academy. What you ignore is how the only students who pass your class are either prodigies like Noah, or have mastered the art of cramming. You insist you do this because we need this knowledge to get by in the world, but all you did was push people to cram, which means they forget it the second they leave your classroom. Your constant surprise quizzes only reveal that your teaching method does not stick, and you have refused to accept that now for multiple decades."

Felix at that point came to a stop, and turned to her. "So again, you failed to teach me not because I had a disability, but because you're a bad teacher. My disability only exacerbated the problems of your style of teaching."

She could tell that Felix had to restrain himself from yelling, and Jamina had to restrain herself as well. "Felix, I don't-"

"Fuck your students?" Felix asked. "Because I can tell you that you fuck their lives up. What Kei Winters does is wrong, but that doesn't change that what you did was wrong. Do you understand that?"

How had it come to this. Felix said he had understood the performance, why was he being so judgemental of her? Had Jamina really been such a bad teacher... wait. She then realized she had committed a sin in this new timeline, to use his word for it, that had fucked up their relationship. "Is this about Smith?"

"Partly," Felix said. "Tell me, what makes you think it's okay to punish someone for attitude?"

"I had to keep contro-" Jamina got cut off.

"Control?" Felix asked. "Because I want to assure you that before we got here, you had far too much fucking control. What else do you call something that makes someone study for upwards of SIX FUCKING HOURS A DAY FOR A C?"

That was Jamina realized how deep of a hole she was in with Felix. All he saw her as was as someone who wasted his time, and the problem was, he was right. There was absolutely no point to him studying that hard if he had a severe learning disability. Even if he got accommodations, it was far too late in his academic career for him to pick up the math required to get a STEM career, go to medical school, or heck, even potentially do much of anything that required high level math. Her entire motivation for her teaching style had been proven wrong, and the evidence was screaming at her about it. Heck, maybe she had failed other students, as he was indeed far from the first student that had struggled with her class, he was just the first that could punish her for it.

"Felix, I get it, I fucked up," Jamina started to cry with her realization. "I fucked up so badly that you can see how much Kei Winters is a **** and still not trust me."

That was when she heard Felix cry as well. "I know that Kei Winters is a predator who manipulates her students, and was created by the demon. I know that trusting her is foolish, but I'm stuck with her. You want to know why?"

Felix walked up to Jamina, and said something that chilled her to the bone. "Because if I reject her, you get eliminated. I remember on our very first date, she said that I all had to get us out of here is to do what I want to do anyway. At the time, that was just hot, but I understand what that really meant now. If I hesitate, all I accomplish is hurting you. Do you understand that?"

"Felix, if that's the case, why are you so angry at me over stuff in school?" Jamina asked.

"Because despite how stupid it is, on some level, I think I'm here because of you..."
