Watch your classmates do combat drills.

The open-air dojo was as big as the school’s gymnasium. The floor of the room was a ten-foot layer of thick dirt and a cracked concrete slab beneath it. You knew it was cracked because you can very vividly remember the day that you were sparring with Miyabi and a single downward kick miraculously missed you and instead collided with the ground, blowing a crater through all ten feet of dirt and cracking the concrete below. You immediately recognized that you were out of your league and used the resulting dust storm to make a quick retreat. Evasion tactics was one of your top grades, after all. The room’s perimeter was lined with seven feet of wood paneling, primarily for viewing if not everyone was participating, and this paneling was set a foot up from the dirt.

The resulting ledge made a perfect place to park yourself as you watched Ryoubi, Ryouna, Murasaki, and Imu smash and slash training puppets to bits in their underwear. Suzune-sensei and Miyabi were standing on the sidelines near you watching them. You notice that none of them had activated their Shinobi Transformations yet, and wondered why.

“Hey Miyabi, why haven’t they transformed yet?”

Miyabi gives you a sideways glance and replies, “Shinobi Transformation is both at the same time our greatest weapon and our cruelest crutch. It makes us more powerful, but it can’t make us more wise.”

Suzune cuts in from the other side of Miyabi, apparently having heard our conversation. “To put it a bit less vaguely, shinobi transformation does not simply add to our abilities, it multiplies them. Therefore, the more powerful we are without the transformation, the more powerful we will be with it.”

You nod and now that she mentions it you remember hearing something about that. Shinobi lore was your worst grade, after all. You were somewhat amused by the fact that neither Suzune, with her sky-high expectations or Miyabi, the intimidating hardass, seemed to care about you not joining them for practice drills.

“Murasaki! Quit standing around, help your sister!” Miyabi yells out to scold Murasaki, who wasn’t really doing her part. Neither were you, but that was perfectly normal.

You took a moment to ponder about the earrings’ power to grant you passive normality. It didn’t make you invisible, and in fact it didn’t even make it so people wouldn’t notice you if you were in their presence. It seemed that it just made it so your presence was not seen as out of the ordinary no matter where you were. By the same token, your actions didn’t go unnoticed either. Everybody else was very much reacting to you when you had nearly half your cock deep in Ryouna’s face, they just weren’t at all shocked by your actions. Ryoubi even rolled her eyes like it was something that happened all the time, like she was saying “here we go again” in her head.

You thought for a second about the powers and you realized the earrings granted two specific powers, a passive “aura” of normality that made yourself and everything you do perfectly normal to everyone else, and a power to rewrite the standard rules of conduct or alter what is considered normal by society. The also realized that you had two specific earrings. You wondered if the powers the earrings granted were isolated to each earring.

Time to experiment. You hadn’t made a rule that you didn’t have to join practice drills, so the fact that they weren’t getting on your case about it was very much the result of the passive normality effect. If you take off one of the earrings and they start getting upset, you’ll know that only one of the earrings is controlling that power.

You start with the right earring and take it off. Nothing changes. Nobody is getting upset at you, and the rules you set are definitely still in place, since everyone is still doing drills in their undies like nothing is wrong. Now to test if the rule changes work.

“It’s normal for Miyabi to do jumping jacks while she is observing the practice drills.” The thought of seeing Miyabi's tits bounce all over the place while jumping up and down was a pleasant one. Miyabi sadly doesn’t move an inch, but also doesn’t react to what you say. So you can’t change rules without the right earring on it seems.

You put the right earring back on and then remove the left one. The moment the metal is no longer touching your lobe you hear the sound of fury.

“IPPAN!” Miyabi yells in a tone you have grown to fear, thinking fast you replace the earring just before she gets to you to wring your neck. As soon as the earring is in place she relaxes and turns back to watching the drills.

So that confirms that, the passive normality effect is definitely contained in the left earring. Interestingly though, your rule changes seemed to remain in effect even without earrings on. You had an idea that the right earring gave you the ability to change social norms, but it wasn’t required to experience the effects. In order to test this theory thoroughly though you would need to remove the other earring.

“It is normal for me not to have to participate in practice drills if I don’t want to.” That should cover it. With a bit of anxiousness, you remove the left earring. You don’t immediately notice any change, which was a relief. You then removed your right earring so you had none on. You had to admit you felt a bit exposed. The reactions weren’t any different. So, the effects of the rule changes persisted even without the earrings on. That was definitely good to know.

You put both earrings back on though, because you weren’t quite done with them. If you laid down the right rules you wouldn’t even need the earrings anymore. Then again you weren’t sure if the effects eventually faded after not having the earrings for a long period of time, and you didn’t really have a long period of time to experiment with the idea, so you decided it would be safer to just have them both on to be sure.

After a moment of just watching the lovely scene in front of you, you took a look over at Miyabi, carefully examining every move of her peers. Her curves were fantastic, her body was the very symbol of perfection. Well-toned and muscle in all the right spots, but her alabaster skin betrayed a certain softness that you’ve always wanted to experience. And now you can!

“It’s normal for women to sit in my lap upon request.” You needed that amazing ass in your lap immediately. “Miyabi?”

“Hm?” she turns her head slightly toward you.

“Come sit in my lap.” There was an immediate adrenaline rush at giving her a command. Someone like Miyabi who was so proud and imposing, not to mention your senior as a 3rd year at the academy.

“A-alright.” Did she just stutter? And was she blushing!? Without any argument she parked herself on your lap, both of her legs hung over your right leg and her arms around your neck, hanging off of it but still peering out to observe the training. She was heavier than you expected, but since you could see most of her body the majority of that weight had to be her tits and muscle.
