After Grey and the three lieutenants finished their fight in the forest, they met the rest of Team 2 and proceeded to go into a secret camp deep inside the forest.
The camp was a medical outpost where the some of the most important military human resources could be found, Life special affinity mages.
"Lieutenant, it should take about 2 to 3 hours for 2nd Lt John Ward to recover his leg, such an injury is not difficult to fix, at least it is easier to deal with when compared to healing someone with a punctured lung or ruptured liver."
A tier 2 female mage wearing Arin's military medical uniform explained the status of the injured John to the team leader of Team 2, Qila Stein.
Some of the team were a small distance from the conversation, but they could still hear the conversation with their awareness.
"Thank you lieutenant."
Qila thanked the tier 2 Life special affinity mage, not just for treating John, but for all of the team members who were injured.
Qila had some bandages that covered some of the scratches she got during the fight, Abe Kohler and Ilse Louis needed to rest after over using their mana.
But the most injured of the team was June, John only got his leg cut off, but she had multiple bone fractures all over her body, her reckless behaviour had finally paid off.
Even though John had been protecting her during the fight, that did not mean she would not be targeted, especially when she was rushing to the front.
When Qila saw June, she just shrugged, it was her responsibility to look after her subordinates.
However Qila had stopped caring about June because her reckless behaviour might endanger the rest of the team.
Qila would rather have June die alone, than get dragged down with her.
Thus she did not even ask about her, but instead after about John who had performed very well during the prevous fight.
"Get some rest, we will continue our advance when Lt Ward has recovered."
Qila came to the rest of the team, with June and John under medical care, it was only the tier 1 mages.
"""Yes Mam"""
The tier 1 mages started to disperse under the order of their lieutenant.
"Recruit Grey, I want to talk to you. Follow me to my tent."
Before they could fully disperse, Qila had other orders for Grey.
"Yes Mam, I understand."
The team members all had different thoughts as to why Qila would summon Grey to her private tent.
Abe Kohler had a silly smile on his face as he looked at Grey and Qila as they disappeared inside of Qila's tent.
"Hey, do you think there is a special relationship between Lt Stein and Grey, like the physical contact type?"
Kohler spoke in a low voice as he voiced his curiosity towards Sharon and Ilse.
The two did not answer the big fellow, but they had thoughtful looks on their faces.
'The lieutenant has always seemed differential towards Grey, maybe this idiot could be correct. But that is not my place to pry into.'
Ilse thought to herself as she looked at Qila's tent as she nudged Sharon to move quickly and escape Kohler toxic thoughts.
"You know, I wanted to experience sex before joining a war I am not sure I will survive, it would be tragic to die having not experienced sex, don't you think."
Kohler followed them as he continue to lament.
"Why don't you masturbate or something if your frustrated!"
Sharon got annoyed and shouted at the big fellow.
"It would not be the same, at least I don't think so. From my education about sex in the academy I know that the vagina is much more different than my rugged hands. How can it be the same"
Ilse and Sharon also nodded as they were aware of this situation.
They looked at Abe for a few seconds then shrugged, it was not like he could find a brothel in the middle of the forest of the Dralia Mountain Range.
It was not like he could get together with a female soldier, having sex during active combat situations was heavily punishable.
Thus before soldiers got into active combat situations, they always satisfied themselves thoroughly.
Sharon and Ilse did not stop moving, they moved towards Ilse's tent, leaving the frustrated young man alone as he stared at them enter the tent.
The two girls felt his stare, when they looked at him they found him having the same silly smile that he had when he looked at Grey and Qila when they entered Qila's tent.
"It's not how it seems!"
Sharon shouted to Kohler with a blush that could not be hidden.
"Really? You two are very close. Always together. It's suspicious."
Abe narrowed his eyes as if he could see right through Sharon who was trying hard not to blush.
"Sharon stop getting pulled into his rhythm."
Ilse pulled the flustered Sharon into the tent, leaving Abe alone.
Inside of Qila's tent, the two people sat whilst staring at each other, with Qila seating behind a table and Grey across it.
The tent for a lieutenant was big enough to house a table and a sleeping area if required.
"Grey how old do you think I am?"
Qila started the conversation with a weird question.
"Between 18 and 19 years of age."
From Grey's observation, people like Percival, June and Qila were new lieutenants, they got to tier 2 faster due to the use of magic crystals.
Thus they were young, thus there was no big age difference between Grey and Qila, in the standards of this magic world, the 15 year old Grey and Qila were peers.
"Eighteen actually, in all of my young life as a mage, it was my first time seeing a tier 1 mage defeating a tier 2 mage."
Qila paused to think of the words she just said, she was still surprised every time she remembered the tier 1 Grey killing a tier 2 mage.
"This shows how talented you are, what method you used to incapacitate those mages, I don't want to know about it."
Grey nodded, from Grey's observation of Qila, she was not one to pry too much into people's matters.
'The reason she called me here means that the matter involves her.'
Grey quietly observed Qila as she continued to talk.
"Your Performance was brilliant. I am sure in time, you will become a strong figure in the military. I wanted to be the first to recognise your ability. I have recommended you to get Military Decorations, as a mage who killed a tier 2 mage as a tier 1 mage and saved three other tier 2 mages, I am sure you will get the Medal."
"Mam, I understand."
Qila chuckled as she saw that Grey remained calm, even when he heard that he would be getting a military decoration.
"That is the reason I like you Grey, always calm even in situations where any other soldier would show excitement. However after some observations, I have seen that you have had contact with Captain Ignocia, that must be for a special reason. I have had the reason for your recommendation to be a Class 2 classified military secret, because I believe the reason you met the Captain might tie into your magic ability."
"I understand Lieutenant Stein."
"It is the best I can do, the reason for your recommendation can only be viewed by Captain Rank or higher individuals."
"Thank you for the report Mam."
Grey stood up with a calm face, but he did not leave, Qila could feel that Grey's mana was rousing, meaning that he was casting a few spells.
"Mam, permission to speak freely?"
"Granted."
Qila said with curiosity shown on her black eyes.
"Qila, I have heard and seen your fondness towards me, and I am inclined to say that I am also very attracted to you too."
Qila chuckled.
"Was I so obvious?"
Grey did not respond to her, he just moved behind her table and pulled her chair so that she faced him.
Grey lifted her chin with his hand and looked deeply into her black eyes as she looked into his blue eyes.
Qila stood up from her chair as they looked into each other's eyes, she pull the pin that held her short blond hair allowing it to drop freely.
The two stared into each other's eyes for a full minute, it was as if they were trying to guess what the other party was thinking.
The almost 20 centimetres height difference between the two was something to point out, after a full minute of staring at each other, Grey lowered himself and kissed Qila's red lips.
Qila did not allow Grey to lower himself too much as she met him halfway as she tiptoed, the two kissed each other for a few minutes with all the techniques that involved the tongue being used.
PANT. PANT. PANT.
Qila breath heavily as she looked at Grey like she was looking at a beast.
"Grey aren't you inexperienced in sex, how is it that you are good in kissing?"
'Or maybe the academy kids have started to have sexual encounters before they even leave the academy?'
Grey did not answer her, he just pulled her into another kiss, his hands started roaming Qila's body looking for a breakthrough point to release her clothing.
"Grey stop! If we are found having sex, we will be heavily punished!"
Grey paused for a second and looked at Qila who was trying to fix her clothing.
"If they find out? Don't worry. You know me, would I risk our careers just for sex, I have made preparations. For the next few hours the area around your tent will be very silent, and five minutes ago I left your tent and went back to my tent, Abe Kohler and some other mages also saw me as I left and entered my tent."
Qila looked at Grey for a few seconds trying to understand his words before pulling him into a kiss.
This time their clothes did not manage to stay on their bodies because as much as Grey wanted to have sex, it was the same for her.
For the next two hours, the petite girl called Qila experienced sex for the first time.
The same could be said for Grey though, but with his deep experience he and Qila thoroughly enjoyed each other's bodies.
PANT. PANT. PANT.
Grey looked at the naked Qila who was heavily breathing.
'The body of a mage is a marvel, I never thought it was possible to cum so many times and still have more in the tank, it seems those Hentai authors were right about that when it comes to fantasy worlds.'
"You beast, that was my first time."
"Honestly I thought you were experienced."
Grey looked at the complaining girl, even though she clearly enjoyed it as much as him.
TING! TING! TING!
Before Grey and Qila could continue their talk, the alarm in Qila's tent sounded off, meaning that their time in this camp was over, and John should have recovered.
"Let's go kill some Ruhenese Scum!"
Qila's face regained her cold, bloodthirsty visage.
