Turn the tables

Alea opened her eyes, her mind having finally settled on a decision.

She sank to her knees, gazing up at Kass’s dripping cock.

“I knew you’d see things this way.” Kass giggled to herself and tossed back her hair. “Now quick, bend over and plant your face on the ground. We’re wasting those pills of resolve you just swallowed.”

Alea shifted her weight from her knees to the balls of her feet. She’d only get one shot at this. The power of the second layer of Resolve Condensation flowed through her, giving her muscles strength and power.

The third shackle between her and the third layer of Resolve Condensation pressed down on her. If she just had a little more Resolve she could break through again, but the transformation between the first and second layers was nothing to scoff at. She flexed her power and realized Kass felt… weak.

Kass had been at the first layer of Resolve Condensation when she’d first had her duel with Alea. Since then, that one Resolve Condensation pill had allowed Alea to completely transform her magical powers and reach the second layer. In comparison… Kass hadn’t achieved any progress at all.

Kass’s power swirled through her like a tendril, lending strength to her body and allowing her to use magical techniques. In comparison, Alea now held a bucket’s worth of power.

Alea looked up and met Kass’s eyes. The pink-haired futa frowned at the fiery eyes that gazed back at her.

The resolve in her body whispered its promise of power to Alea. __

What right does this weakling have to stand while I kneel?

Kass had been born into money, but she lacked Alea’s drive. She never would have had the dedication to spend endless hours in meditation. Years spent learning to breathe and how to concentrate until she could pull Resolve from the air itself.

Just staring up at her, Alea could see how sloppy the movement of her Resolve in her body was. How undisciplined her breathing was. With such flawed technique, it was no wonder she felt no effect from the Pills of Resolve. She lacked the ability to reach out and grab the Resolve that the pill generated. She was a bucket full of holes, and any additional Resolve the pills gave her just spilled right out.

“I have a better idea, Kass.” And Alea conjured two balls of fire in her hands. What had been fist sized balls of flame were now masses of swirling light. Kass’s eyes bulged at the sight of them, and she tried to take a step back.

Alea pushed her Resolve into her legs. She had enough now to strengthen them while simultaneously conjuring two fireballs, though she was rapidly approaching her new limits.

Kass’s eyes searched the room wildly, looking for her bag. At the moment she was naked and unarmed. She scrambled for her bag but didn’t make it a single step before Alea’s body crashed into hers.

Kass lashed out with a fist, but Alea twisted her head to the side. Kass tried to punch again, only for Alea to strike the inside of her wrist with one of her hands cloaked in fire.

“Ahhh!” Kass howled as her skin burned. She’d given up fighting now and scrambled on her hands and knees for her bag, where she’d carelessly thrown it on the floor.

Alea felt an ill omen at the sight of that bag. Kass was a rich girl, and her family could have given her any number of treasures to protect herself. A battle golem or a flying sword could quickly turn the tide in the pink-haired futa’s favor.

Alea wouldn’t give her the chance. Standing up, she stomped on Kass’s back and pinned her to the ground, face down. Kass cradled her burned arm as Alea squeezed and quenched the flames in her hands.

“I don’t think so.” Alea said, fire in her voice. She nudged Kass’s bag further out of the pinned futa's reach. It wasn’t until then that she realized she was grinning. She’d enjoyed pinning Kass down and overwhelming the less powerful futa with the strength of her body and magic.

“Alea…” Kass chuckled softly. Her eyes darted upwards nervously. “Okay, okay, you’ve shown me who’s boss. I won’t do the dick thing again, promise!”

Alea poked at Kass’s bag up with her toe, pulling it towards herself. She picked it up, curious at what weapon Kass had been hoping to get.

She reached her hand in and poked around. A few more boxes of pills… an extra sword… a flask of ****… a tiny model sword… and a glass choker etched with a pink heart surrounding a star.

“What’s this?” Alea muttered curiously.

“N-nothing. Just a toy is all.” Kass jittered.

Alea pushed Kass’s head into the floor with her foot.

“Ah! Okay! Okay! It’s a stealth collar, rigged with a magical circle of obedience.” Kass explained. “I wanted to make you my ****, but not openly, you know? First layer Resolve Condensers are too weak to be flashing around cultivation vessels with Resolve of their own, even with my family name. Especially one as innately talented as you are. Plus, the Throbbing Immortal Fist School gives out technique manuals and cultivation arts to their students, but only to students. Not to cultivation vessels. I’d hoped to have you pretend to be a student I was great friends with and use you to snag some extra benefits for myself.”

“While in actually I’d just be your obedient ****?” Alea raised an eyebrow.

“Well… yeah. I heard the Throbbing Immortal Fist School makes its students do chores like fetching water and sweeping the steps. Chores! Can you imagine me doing toting water buckets or with a broom in my hands?”

“So what you’re saying is, this is a collar that will make you happily follow my commands, all the while remaining invisible to anyone who looks for it?” A grin spread across Alea’s face, ear to ear.

Considering how powerful Kass’s family was, they might take offense at Alea dominating her. But if there was a stealthy way to keep the rich girl as a pet… not only could Alea add another prize to her collection, but she could also continue to benefit from the resources of Kass’s family. This could be just what she needed to get her foot in the door at the Throbbing Immortal Fist school.
