Chapter 66: Something happens!
"My Maid?" Victor displayed a confused face.
"Yes"
"Hmmm," Victor puts his hand to his chin as if he's thinking.
"Kaguya," He called in an orderly tone.
Kaguya approached Victor, "Yes, lord Vic-"
She stopped talking when she felt Victor stroking her head, she felt goosebumps all over her body for a moment.
"What do you think about this?" He asked.
He looks at Kaguya's black hair and nods, satisfied. He was missing this, and Scathach wouldn't let him stroke her head.
"...It doesn't matter to me, and it was Lady Violet's parents' order. I don't have much of an opinion on the matter," Kaguya said.
"…" Yuki almost put on an angry squirrel face, but she managed to control herself and keep her poker face.
"Heh~" Victor displayed an unreadable smile.
"Lord Victor, you may not know, but I am also your personal maid now."
"Lady Violet fired me and transferred the master rights to you… But, first, we need to talk about my salary and what kind of contract we're going to make."
"Oh? But I can't pay you, you know." He chuckled.
"..." She nodded in agreement.
"As expected, I'm going to have to fire you."
"!!!" Kaguya's entire body shook.
"Maybe in the future, I'll hire you as my Maid, but now, I'm broke~."
Victor stopped stroking Kaguya's head and slowly backed away.
"W-Wait..."
"Hmm?" He looked at Kaguya, who held his suit.
"You can take out a loan, and, in the future, when you earn money, you can pay me back."
He flashed a smile, "Are you sure?"
"Y-Yes" She stuttered a little, she was thinking about her vacation, but when she remembered that the sacrifice was for the greater good, she didn't care! It's for the greater good, after all!
"HAHAHA," Victor laughed happily, then he lifted Kaguya and looked her in the eyes, "You can't go back now."
Looking into Victor's blood-red eyes, Kaguya sighed and thought; 'Whatever'. Strangely, she no longer cared.
"Put me down, please..."
"Of course."
"..." Sasha and Ruby were staring at Victor with a deadly glare:
"Why is he acting like this? Is it unconscious?" Ruby spoke coldly, the air around her cooling rapidly.
"Is he becoming a Playboy?" Sasha whispered in a dangerous voice.
Scathach appears behind Sasha and Ruby, she wraps her arm around Sasha and Ruby:
"Yeah, he might not realize it, but he instinctively knows how to act with women. When I questioned him about it, he said his mom taught him about women."
"Anna…" Ruby sighed.
"Well, she seems to be that kind of mother." Sasha sighed at the end.
"I will visit her in the future, she seems to be interesting," Scathach flashed a smile.
"!!!" Ruby turns her face to her mother, and, looking into her mother's emerald green eyes, she says, "Why this sudden interest in my Darling's family?"
The corners of Scathach's mouth turned up a little, "Can't I be interested in my disciple's parents?"
"…" Ruby didn't know how to respond.
"Yes, you can. But don't get too close to him!" Sasha growled, and slaps Scathach's hand, then she walks closer to Victor.
"Kakakakaka, she's jealous~"
"Mother..." Ruby looked at her mother.
"Don't look at me like that, my daughter, you're going to make a hole in my head with your gaze~."
"You-." Ruby was about to say something, but suddenly everyone could hear a loud scream.
"DARLING!!"
"..." Yuki, Maria, and Siena put their hands over their ears.
"Ugh," Pepper covers her ears, "How does her throat work? Does she have a superpower that raises the volume of her voice or something?"
Victor quickly looked up at the sky, then his smile grew, and he pulled away from everyone and opened his arms.
Everyone looked to where Victor was looking, and they could see a beam of fire in the air.
"She's flying... That's so cool!" Pepper's eyes sparkled.
"Heh~, she finally got better, that stupid girl," Scathach chuckled.
Violet started to descend at high speed towards Victor, and soon a small Violet-shaped meteor hits Victor!
"..." Everyone expected a big explosion to happen, but unexpectedly, before Violet touched Victor, her power completely disappeared.
"Darling~! Darling~! Darling~!"
"She has improved in her power control," Ruby praised.
"Violet~" Victor hugged Violet tighter. "How are you? Are you okay!"
"Nooo~ I'm not fine; I need my vitamin V!"
"Vitamin V?" he asked, confused.
"Shh," She puts her finger to Victor's lips, "I'm reloading now" then she hugs him tighter.
Victor smiled lovingly, and soon he started stroking Violet's head.
While Victor and Violet were in their world.
Luna suddenly appeared, "Lady Scathach, you are late! The game starts in three days, we were supposed to be in—" She was going to say something, but when she looked at Victor, she was speechless.
"...He got stronger."
"Oh, the game, huh? I totally forgot about it," Scathach said.
"Let's go. We need to go to the capital." Scathach started walking towards her mansion.
When Luna looked at Scathach, she was speechless again, she hadn't realized it because she was in a hurry, but her eyes weren't red anymore...
'What happened in that coliseum?' She thought inwardly.
Scathach has stopped walking and looks back, "Aren't you coming?"
"…" The women look at each other and nod.
...
On the walk back home, a strange situation was happening. Victor was walking with Violet sitting on his shoulder, and beside him were Ruby and Sasha, and a little further back were Yuki, Kaguya, Maria, and Luna.
"...I didn't expect this," Yuki commented in disbelief.
"What?" Maria asked.
"..." Kaguya and Luna were a little surprised to hear Maria speak, but they didn't convey that surprise on their faces.
"I didn't know my master was married to the three flowers of the vampire world!"
"Three flowers? What is this weird title?"
"The four flowers of the vampire world is a title given by all-male vampires, the title speaks of Ruby, Sasha, and Violet, along with the youngest daughter of the king who was born with supernatural beauty even to vampires."
"Oh…" She understood now.
"So you're surprised he's married to three of the four flowers in the vampire world."
"Yes," Yuki replied.
"Hmm," Maria looks at Victor, who was carrying Violet on his shoulders, seeing him laughing and happily chatting with his wives.
She adjusts her glasses and speaks with a serious expression, "I have a feeling that if he meets the daughter of the king of vampires, they will end up together."
"..." The three Maid were surprised by this bold statement.
"Impossible," Kaguya immediately spoke.
"Oh? Why?" Maria asked.
"Lord Victor is a faithful man, and he won't run after other women if he already has three wives."
"..." Maria, Luna, and Yuki looked blankly at Kaguya.
"What?"
"Didn't you realize you were flirting with him a few minutes ago?" Maria spoke.
"...That's not flirting."
"Hmm? What is it then?" Yuki asked.
This is… A form of thanks…Yes, this is a form of thanks. After all, I'm a hardworking Maid!"
The three Maid rolled their eyes.
"Believe me, he can treat me like that, but he doesn't have any hidden desires. It's just the way he is; he's a caring man."
"..." The three were silent and decided not to prolong the conversation. They knew it would be useless to say something now, and also because they realized they were getting close to the mansion.
...
"Before we go, Victor and I should take a decent shower." They had a bath in the coliseum, but they were very simplified, and the bathroom was created with that intention because, in training, luxuries are not allowed.
"Yeah, you're right, Scathach," Victor agreed, and he started walking in a random direction. Did he know the location of the bathroom? Of course not, but he didn't need to know the location of the bathroom. After all, he knew that he would eventually find one of the bathrooms in this gigantic mansion.
"Let's go."
Scathach nodded and followed Victor.
"WAIT!" Violet, Ruby, and Sasha yelled simultaneously, then they disappeared and appeared in front of Victor and Scathach.
"What?" Victor and Scathach asked at the same time.
"Are you guys going to take a shower together!?" Ruby yelled.
"Yeah...?" Victor turned his head a little confused.
"And don't you realize this situation is weird!? For God's sake, she's my mother! She is your mother-in-law!"
"Oh... Now that you say it's true." Victor nodded.
"Master, you are my mother-in-law." He looked at Scathach and spoke with shock visible on his face.
"Yeah, did you forget?" She smiled seductively.
"Well, I was busier trying to survive," Just remembering that he had every part of his body taken out in grotesque ways made his body shudders a little. He's not going to lie and say he's not a little traumatized by the training that he went through, but... As time went by, he got used to it, and the pain became tolerable.
If Scathach asked him to train again, would he go?
Of course, yes! He liked to train with her, and he also loved the sense of progress. The feeling of growing stronger was something very addictive.
"…" The three wives were speechless.
"Wait... From the way you're reacting like everything is normal, don't tell me you guys have already done this!?" Sasha yelled.
"Yes. I was beaten every day in a lot of different ways, and it was Scathach who carried me to the bathroom." Victor nodded.
"..."
Violet's body began to release a dark, distorted pressure, her eyes turned dark, and she looked at Scathach.
"What?" She smiled teasingly.
Before Violet did something stupid, Ruby quickly held her up like a sack of potatoes.
"Put me down." She spoke in a distorted voice.
Ruby ignored Violet and looked at her mother,
"Darling, go shower with us! You're going to shower alone!"
"Hmm? Hell no! I'll do what I want, and you can come with us."
"H-Huuh? M-Mother!?" Ruby didn't believe what she heard.
"What?"
"..." Realizing that this is not going anywhere, Victor said:
"Hmm, I'm taking a shower; follow me if you want. Now give me Violet." He approached Ruby and picked up Violet, and carried her like a princess.
Violet quickly hugs Victor's neck and glares at Scathach menacingly.
Soon, he walked in a random direction.
"..." The people around were speechless when they saw Victor treating Violet like a teddy bear.
"Well, let's go?" Scathach soon followed Victor.
"..." Sasha and Ruby still couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Wait!" The two shouted in unison and followed Victor.
Ruby and Sasha weren't alone. Everyone who knew Scathach's personality enough to tell what kind of person she was, weren't believing what they were seeing either.
Only one question remained in these people's minds.
What happened in that damn coliseum!?
Chapter 67: A weird situation indeed.
In an unnecessarily large, luxurious bathroom, Victor, Violet, Ruby, Sasha, and Scathach were showering the way they came into the world.
"This is weird," Sasha spoke up.
"Scathach, pass me the shampoo," Victor asked.
Scathach, who was in the bathtub, looks to the side, and, seeing the shampoo, she takes it and throws it to Victor.
"Take it"
Victor raises his hand and catches it, "Thanks," then he goes back to washing Violet's hair.
"Hmmm~" Violet didn't want to think about anything right now. Her mind was blank and, she was just enjoying it.
"This is definitely weird!" Sasha yelled.
Victor, who was washing Violet's hair, and Scathach, who was in the bathtub, looked at Sasha and spoke at the same time:
"What?"
"…" Sasha's face turned red with frustration.
"This whole situation is weird!"
"What's is weird, girl?"
"…" Sasha's head seemed to be fanning out in anger.
"The fact that my husband and I are bathing naked next to my mother. That's what's weird." Ruby spoke in a much cooler tone than usual; even the water around her seemed to be creating little blocks of ice.
"Scathach, hand me the soap."
"Take it," She takes the soap and throws it towards Victor.
Victor takes the soap and then starts washing every corner of Violet's body.
"..." Ruby just looked at all this with even colder eyes, she looked at Violet, trying to get some help, but she was speechless when she saw Violet's face that looked like someone who had entered a state of enlightenment.
"You're thinking too much." She heard her mother's voice. She looked at her mother and saw that she leaned against the bathtub and closed her eyes. "Just relax~."
"…" Sasha and Ruby were almost freaking out internally.
"Umu~, I'm done."
Ruby and Sasha looked at Violet and saw her writhing on the floor with a happy expression; they could even see that her eyes were unfocused. To be honest, they were a little scared; Violet seemed to be out of her mind.
"This massage technique is amazing." Victor chuckled.
"Yeah... I know, right?" Scathach exhibited a small smile.
"!!!" Ruby and Sasha couldn't take it anymore and were about to explode in anger and demand an explanation.
"You guys are next," Victor said as he walked towards Ruby and Sasha.
"...Heh?" The two did not know how to react.
"W-Wait," Ruby started to stutter when she saw Victor approaching with that visible thing swaying back and forth as if trying to hypnotize her.
"Y-Yeah, I'm not ready yet," Sasha got up and tried to run away, she didn't want to end up looking like Violet, she was going to die of embarrassment!
"No excuses... And I need to give you my blood too." Victor's eyes flashed a dangerous red.
"..." Ruby and Sasha tried to run away, but it was useless. Victor appeared beside them and then caught the two like they were sacks of potatoes.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" The two screamed.
Scathach opens one of her eyes, "What a monster I created... As expected of me," She nodded in satisfaction, then she closed her eyes and relaxed again.
...
"Then? Who are we waiting for?" Victor spoke out loud with a neutral expression on his face. "Shouldn't we be running or something? I heard we're late."
Victor was wearing the outfit he got from Scathach.
"I don't want to run. I just bathed~," Scathach said, she was wearing her usual form-fitting battlesuit.
"We are waiting for my foolish disciple."
"Oh?" Victor was interested.
Is she strong?"
"Yeah, she is." Scathach flashed a smile.
"Interesting~" Victor approaches Yuki and starts stroking her head.
"...W-Wh" Yuki's face turned red, but she quickly managed to control her expression, "What are you doing, master?"
"Kaguya went out somewhere saying she needed to sort out some contract issues. Scathach won't let me stroke her hair, and my wives are like that... So, in the end, you're left."
"…" Yuki was speechless, 'That was supposed to be an explanation!?'
Speaking of Scathach.
Victor still remembers when he tried to stroke Scathach's hair.
...
"What are you doing, stupid disciple?" Scathach asked with neutral eyes as she looked at Victor, who tried to pat her head.
"I've been trying to relax. It's been two months, you know?" Victor spoke, then he tried to stroke her head again. When his hands would have touched Scathach's hair, the woman disappeared.
"Stupid disciple, are you treating me like a child?" Scathach's red eyes glittered dangerously.
"..." Victor made an expression, "I wish Kaguya were here." He spoke in a sad voice.
"..." Scathach was speechless when she saw Victor's reaction.
"Stop thinking about bullshit," She turned her face and started walking, "Let's take a shower, and then we have to go back to training."
"...." Victor wasn't motivated. He knows that the training she was talking about is him being beaten daily. In the first month, it was fun, but then it just became boring. He wasn't feeling his progress, even though Scathach said several times that he was progressing. But would he stop fighting because of it? Of course not! He likes to fight no matter the season or the time of day… But he just wasn't motivated.
"…If you make a little cut on my body, I'll let you do what you want," Scathach said.
"!!!" Victor's eyes changed to a bright blood red, and his whole body began to give off a dangerous sensation.
"Heh~"Scathach smiled seductively, "You look motivated."
Victor takes his greatsword, "Let's go. I have an important mission to do!" He spoke in a surprisingly serious voice.
"The inquisition is released and, I have to hunt a two thousand year old vampire! All for the greater good! God bless me!" He seemed more motivated than the very hunters who had faced Scathach in the past.
"..." Scathach, a vampire over two thousand years old, didn't know how to react to Victor's strange words at that moment.
...
"Sigh!" Victor sighed.
In the end, he couldn't scratch her body, and he was depressed for a few days.
"What happened to them...?" Pepper asked in curiosity as she looked over at Ruby, Violet, and Sasha, who were sitting back to back with addled faces.
"They seem out of their minds," Lacus spoke.
"Ruby?" Siena appears accompanied by Luna, she approaches Ruby, "Are you alright, sister?" She asked, a little worried.
She called Ruby several times in an attempt to get her sister to respond.
"..." But Ruby didn't answer anything, she seemed to be staring into space.
"They just experienced something I taught Victor." Scathach flashed a mysterious smile.
"It's a technique I learned when I was bored. The technique is a simple massage that relaxes the whole body, and it was a technique used by an Assassin from the past."
"Assassin?" Siena raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. He would kill the victim by massaging them, and when the victim was completely relaxed, he would hang them, a quick and simple job." Scathach nodded to herself, "I learned this technique and improved it. Now, this technique can kill a being simply because the being has become too relaxed and has stopped thinking."
"…" Just what kind of nonsense is this woman talking about? A massage technique that can kill because it makes you stop thinking?
Those were the thoughts of Lacus, Pepper, and Siena.
"Interested? Do you want to try it?" Scathach laughed and pointed to Victor, sitting on the floor with Yuki, who had a completely red face, in his lap.
Hmm?" Victor looked at the three sisters, then he smiled and gestured with his hand:
"Come and experience the pleasures of a massage that can make you meet the god himself!" He looked like a loan shark offering a shady deal.
"..."
"I humbly decline," Pepper took a step back and hid behind her mother.
"Pass..." Lacus also refused.
"Hmm," Siena's eyes sparkled, she seemed to be interested, she thought; 'A technique created by the mother, maybe I can learn it too?'
"That's it? What a shame." Victor looked sad.
"Oh, they arrived." Scathach looks away.
Everyone looked to where Scathach was looking and saw nothing, they used their vampire senses to their fullest, but still, they couldn't feel anything.
Only Siena and Lacus could feel anything, but even so, it was a considerable distance for them.
Victor focuses his gaze, and soon his world turns blood red:
"What is that?" he asked curiously.
"Huh? Can you see, Victor?"
"Yes," Since he couldn't explain what he was seeing, he decided to keep silent.
"M-Master, please...let go of me..." She was very embarrassed, but it's not like she hated it either; it was a strange feeling...
"Hell no."
"..." Yuki's expression changed to that of a sad squirrel.
After a few minutes of waiting, everyone could hear the sounds of horses and armor in the distance. It was like an army was marching towards them.
"Oh? You're fast~" Victor spoke as he looked at the woman who appeared beside Scathach.
"KaKaKaKa. Did you get to this place from your territory in less than a day? Looks like you and your army didn't fail in training." She laughed contentedly.
"Fue?" Pepper couldn't react to the woman's sudden appearance, she was only startled when she saw a tall woman standing next to her.
She wasn't the only one; Maria, Luna, and Yuki couldn't react either:
"You've gotten stronger, Eleonor... And that's not a good thing." Lacus spoke with a pitying expression.
"Yes." Siena nodded in agreement with Lacus' words.
Eleonor ignored the two women and said, "Master, I'm glad to see you again." As she went to kneel, Scathach grabbed her shoulders.
"Stop. You are a countess now. Never kneel to anyone, especially to I who am in the same status as you." She spoke in a cold voice that shivered all over Eleonor's spine.
"But you aren't just anyone, master..."
"Did you not listen to me?" Scathach's eyes changed to blood red.
"…" Eleonor nods and adjusts her position.
"Good," Scathach nodded in satisfaction, then her eyes changed to sapphire green, which was something Eleonor noticed too.
"M-Master, Y-You eyes," She was stuttering a lot.
"Hmm? Yeah, what about them?"
Before Eleonor could answer anything, everyone could see an army of black knights approaching.
Chapter 68: Countess Eleonor Adresteia.
Victor looked at the army with eyes shining with curiosity since it was the first time he had seen something like that.
An army of black knights with black lances bigger than the knights themselves, their appearance was quite menacing, especially with those red eyes gleaming behind the helmet.
"They're all vampires," Victor's smile grew. He got up from the ground and released Yuki, who sighed in relief, and at the same time, felt disappointed for some reason.
He totally ignored the frightening pressure the army was putting out and approached the horses since he was very curious about them.
"These horses, they're not normal." Victor looked at the horses and saw that the horses' eyes were blood red.
Looking around, Victor saw a horse that was riderless, and soon he approached the horse and touched it then he started stroking the horse's head:
"Iiiiirrri, Rilinchin." The horse neighed happily.
"Hehehe, aren't you a good girl? Tell me, you're a good girl." He realized the horse was female.
"Iiiiirrri, Rilinchin!" The horse hit the ground and brought her head closer to Victor.
Eleonor, the horse's owner, seeing this scene from a distance, couldn't help but comment:
"...To think that Chloé would like someone..." She couldn't believe what she was seeing, Chloe never let strangers touch her, and Victor touched her so easily.
"Kakakaka," Scathach laughed in amusement, she was looking at everything with great pleasure; it was like she was waiting for something to happen.
Because of the noise of the army, the wives who were in a new unknown world slowly began to wake up.
"Huh? Who are these Stormtroopers?" Ruby spoke a little groggy.
"They are Countess Eleonor Adrasteia's personal army," Luna replied.
"Eleonor?"
"Hmm," Sasha looks at the tall woman.
She had long flowing white hair, pale skin like all vampires, and bright golden eyes. She was wearing a simple red coat with black gloves on her hands, a simple white shirt that couldn't hide her H-Cup breasts, along with a pair of black jeans that highlighted her big legs.
And what stood out the most about her was that she was a tall woman, she looked almost the same height as Victor, but with the eyes of an expert Maid, like Yuki and Luna, they could tell she was 190 CM tall.
"Eleonor?"
"Hi, Sasha. How are you?" She nodded to Sasha.
"I'm fine, thanks." Sasha stretched.
Violet gets up off the floor and shakes her head a little to get rid of the feeling that her brain is melting:
"Yo, Bitch from the west, how are you?" Violet stretched a little like Sasha.
"…You're still as rude as ever, Violet. And I'm fine, thanks." She spoke with a gentle smile.
"Oh? That's too bad. I thought you were going to die from a random thug someday."
"…" Veins began to pop in Eleonor's head.
"You're still tall as usual, huh? In fact, I think you've grown even more in height... Are you trying to cosplay a giraffe?"
Eleonor's smile threatened to break at any moment.
'Take a deep breath Eleonor, the master is here, the master is here, don't lose control. You know this bitch, she's always like that. It's nothing new'.
"Fue...? Is the earth shaking?" Pepper looked at the ground with a cute face.
"Have you forgotten what Eleonor's power is, Pepper?" Siena looked at her sister.
Pepper looks at Siena with a cute expression, "...Of course I remember! Eto, Eto…" She started to panic.
"Sigh," Siena puts her hand to her head.
"Well, don't blame her so much. Pepper is a bit dumb sometimes." Lacus spoke.
"Yes, she forgets things easily."
"…." Pepper's face threatens to cry at any moment, but suddenly she is hit by a gust of wind in her face. "Fueee!?" She looks to the side and sees Victor swinging a completely black greatsword that was bigger than him, and he was twirling that big sword like it was nothing.
"HAHAHAHAHA," He looked like he was having fun.
"Hey! What are you doing with my sword!?" Eleonor quickly yelled, she walked with quick steps towards Victor, but inside she was a little shocked that he managed to lift all that weight like it was nothing.
"Swinging it?" Victor replied as he turned his face away.
"... That's not what I meant!"
"Oh..." Victor understood the problem, "Can I borrow this horse and sword for a few hours?" He asked with a polite smile while looking very noble.
"Iiiiirrri, Rilinchin" Chloe approached Victor and whinnied as if asking permission too.
"Of course you can't!" She practically screamed, and all her noble looks were gone like leaves in the wind.
"These are my things! Mine! And Chloe, don't pay attention to him!"
"... Tsk." Knowing he was wrong to take other people's things without permission, Victor obediently backed off.
He looks at the horse and strokes the horse's mane, "Don't worry, soon I will save you from this insensitive woman." He spoke like someone who was saying goodbye to a longtime companion.
"Iiiiirrri, Rilinchin." Chloe nodded, and everyone could see small tears in the horse's eyes.
"I know, I know. But, soon, I will save you~."
"HEY! Why am I the villain of the story!" Eleonor stomped on the ground in frustration, she was freaking out!
Victor reluctantly pulls away from Chloe, but soon he feels someone touching his shoulder:
"What do you think you're doing...?" He heard Eleonor's cold voice.
"Huh? But weren't you the one who asked me to get away from Chloe?" He spoke in an innocent voice.
"It's not that! Give me back my sword!"
"Oh"
"Don't give me that 'Oh'! Give it back!"
"...F-Fine, T-Take it."
"…Why does this seem so difficult to you!? Goddammit!"
"... Just take it!" Victor puts down the sword and hands it to Eleonor, and he uses his other hand to cup his face as if covering his crying face.
Eleonor ignores all this and grabs the sword hilt.
"…Ahhh, you did it." Violet suddenly appears beside Eleonor.
"Huh?"
"You made him cry, you made my husband cry... Look what you did," Violet spoke with a sad face.
"..." Eleonor's face changed several times, she gripped the hilt of her sword harder and looked at Violet with a face red from anger, but in the end, she wasn't a bad person. She took a long breath as if she were giving up on something.
"Fine. I will lend it! But for just an hour!"
"Seriously!?" Victor turns his face away and looks at Eleonor with his eyes shining.
"Y-Yeah," Eleonor was taken aback by this sudden change.
"Yes!!" Victor hugged Eleonor.
"W-Wh?" She didn't know how to react to this sudden intimate contact.
Soon Victor separates from Eleonor and approaches Violet.
"I love you, Violet." Victor kisses Violet on the mouth.
"H-huh?" Violet was taken aback as she returned Victor's kiss.
Victor stops kissing Violet and runs into the forest.
"W-Wait, Darling! We need to go to the capital! Don't go too far!"
"Oh," Victor stopped running and stared at the forest as if he was thinking about something.
"Whatever." In the end, he just decided to swing the sword right there.
He positioned himself and brandished the sword!
"Fuuushhh," A gust of wind flew in a straight line and destroyed several trees.
"Hahahaha, this is fun!" Then, he began to practice what he learned from Scathach.
Every time he brandished the sword, powerful gusts of wind were felt throughout the group.
"Oh," Some knights spoke. They looked impressed, although because of their training, they didn't react much.
"Here, take some blood." Ruby appeared beside Eleonor.
"Thank,s" Eleonor drank all the blood in one gulp, and somehow, she was feeling better.
"Kakakakaka, I knew something interesting was going to happen when he met you," Scathach chuckled.
Master, I heard about him a few days ago, and I didn't believe it, but... It's really true." Eleonor looked at Ruby, Sasha, and Violet.
"He actually married them..."
"Yeah. He is also my last disciple."
"Huh? What do you mean, master?"
"Exactly what I mean, I won't teach anyone else for a long time. Six months was just enough to teach him the basics; I need more time to cut this diamond~" Scathach chuckled in amusement.
"…" Scathach's daughters, Victor's wives, and Eleonor didn't know how to react to Scathach's words. Especially Eleonor, since she hoped that her teacher would train her army again.
Siena, Lacus, and Pepper might not look it, but they were freaking out internally. Did he get so strong just learning the 'basics'? Bulshit!
They know that Scathach's teaching standard is very high if she said she only taught the 'basics'. This means that she has completely strengthened Victor's foundation for the future.
Watching Victor brandish the sword, Pepper also noticed something, "He's using my force control technique..."
"Huh?" Siena and Lacus didn't know how to react.
"Mother! Did you teach our techniques to that man!?"
"Yeah~" Scathach spoke like it was no big deal.
"...M-Mother..." Ruby stuttered and didn't know how to react to this knowledge, she knows that learning what the sisters learned was not easy, especially Ruby, who had to go through a long period of torture to learn how to control her power precisely.
"He was like a sponge that soaked up everything I threw at him, and I thought; 'Why not?' I wanted to test how much he could learn... And in the end, he learned all five of the basic techniques."
"As expected from Darling…" Violet was just as happy as if she was the one who had achieved something.
"…" Sasha was silent, she heard about Scathach techniques directly from Ruby's sisters, and she knows how absurd these techniques are.
"Five!? Wasn't it four!?" Lacus asked.
"It's five. I just didn't teach any of you the last one because you weren't ready," Scathach said.
"Just out of curiosity, what is the fifth technique." Pepper raised her hand and asked in a cute voice.
"It's Control... And the prerequisite for learning this technique is learning all four other techniques." She decided to demonstrate since it's easier to show than to explain:
"Victor!"
"What!?" Victor stopped brandishing the sword and looked at Scathach.
"Come here!"
"Okay."
"And return Eleonor's sword!"
"...O-Okay," He replied with a little difficulty.
He looks at the sword as if looking at a friend who has to say goodbye, then after that. He positions himself as if he is about to throw something, then with a small gesture of strength. He throws the sword he was holding towards Eleonor!
"W-Wha," She couldn't believe he threw her sword like that!
Seeing that Violet was going to try to get the sword, she said, "Stop, you're going to get hurt."
