"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Exedra appeared from a mass of black shadows accompanied by two of his wives.
Seras raised an eyebrow at the extra baggage before they both walked over towards the rest of the guards.
"Are you sure you want me to train you?" Seras asked in a voice full of skepticism.
Usually people begged for her NOT to train them, and yet this handsome prince seemingly held no fear of her.
Was he mental?
Was he trying to get some alone time with her?
Did he not believe his grandfather would grant his request?
"I am. Are you not up for it?" Exedra asked in a flat tone that inadvertently caused all hesitation to leave her body.
'Is he challenging me?!'
He wasn't.
'Did he actually dare to look down on me?!'
He didn't.
'Does he think just because he's handsome he can treat me like shit!'
He doesn't.
'I'll train him until he begs for death!'
He was fucked.
Realizing he'd made a mistake when he saw an intense red aura spreading across Seras' body, he was going to apologize but stopped when a realization dawned on him.
Wouldn't it just make him better if she trained him with the intent to kill him?
Because of the information revealed at the party, Exedra knew his days were about to get very hectic sooner or later.
He needed to use every opportunity to better himself no matter how much pain he had to go through.
"Let's go somewhere a little more… private." Seras voice was incredibly deep and menacing and did not fit at all with her youthful looking appearance.
Before he could react, Seras appeared in front of him and they vanished from the space in an instant.
His wives seeing this were slightly worried but they had been informed by their husband prior to this that he would need this training in the days coming forward.
Even when he warned him that he might not return for a few days, they were sad but they did not resist him since they understood he was doing everything to better protect them.
Ultimately they trusted him not to die…. But it still wouldn't hurt to do something to distract themselves which is why they came to the training grounds.
"Alright, let's do this." Bekka stretched her seductive body and loud cracks and pops were heard.
Lisa put on a determined expression before she walked towards one of the weapon racks along the wall.
Her husband, Lailah, Bekka and even Mira were all making great strides towards becoming more powerful and yet she was the only one who was stagnant!
Pretty soon her daughter was going to be able to beat her in a fight and she was only six!
Taking a deep breath, she picked up a four pronged spear from the wall before standing in front of the hellhound woman.
"Please teach me well."
'Maybe if I do good, honey will praise me and ravage me again..'
"Sure, let's have fun!"
'Maybe if I teach her well, husband will fight me and fill me after!'
Both girls were… extremely motivated.
-
With a flash, Exedra and Seras appeared in the middle of a flat mountain range near the territory of the bloodflame clan.
The area was completely barren for several miles and there were several wide canyons made by Seras when she was 'training.'
Shoving the young dragon away from her, Seras began making preparations to make this training space suitable for her.
"Spatial lock." The ancient dragon muttered a single spell under her breath before her body flashed with a blue light that quickly vanished.
"Do you believe I'll run away?" Exedra asked, confused over why she would use a spell to negate his teleportation.
"Mana domination." Ignoring him, Seras casted another restriction spell.
Exedra suddenly felt as if he could no longer use his spells and his hypothesis was confirmed by the system.
< Hosts mana is being forcibly suppressed by the individual Seras Bloodflame.
< Alert! Mana is too pure to be devoured.
< Restriction cannot be lifted.
"You are rather annoying." Exedra muttered.
Seras seemingly took no offense to this and looked her pupil up and down.
He was undoubtedly handsome, but right now Seras needed to see if he had anything worth building on.
And what was the best way to do that?
She had to make him angry of course!
But after watching Exedra at the party, she knew that even when he was angry he was adept at keeping control of himself.
So she needed to infuriate him so badly that he lost all semblance of composure and flew into a blind rage.
And she knew just the way to do it!
Seras leisurely walked up towards Exedra, showing no signs of aggressive or deceitful behavior.
Exedra wondered what her goal might have been, but ultimately he could not figure it out.
Her eyes were firmly locked on his face, yet her aura showed that she was not overwhelmed by lust.
Seras stopped just a hair shy of her pupil and smiled at him harmlessly.
Finally, Exedra couldn't take anymore. "What're you-"
"Ey."
Bang!
Before Exedra knew what was happening, Seras had raised her dainty little leg and delivered him a swift kick in the nuts.
"GYYYAAAAAA!!"
Exedra went down like a sack of potatoes.
Human, dragon, giant, it made no difference.
Seras had hit him in every man's weak point.
However, she gained an unexpected piece of information from assaulting his manhood. "W-Why're you so uselessly big? Your poor wives!"
Exedra naturally couldn't hear her as her words had only served to anger him beyond belief.
Seras looked down to see that her pupil's body had grown a bit in height and bulk and black scales had appeared all over his body en masse.
Now, he no longer cared about training or bettering himself.
He just had to kill this woman in front of him even if it was the last thing he did.
The frenzied dragon opened his mouth wide and released a scorching blast of purple fire that was easily over 2,000 degrees.
Boom!
Seras took the impact dead on without even bothering to block it.
Even though she'd just been hit with a wave of flames that were hot enough to incinerate a person, she still looked immaculate and even had a slightly amused smile on her face.
Seeing that his flames were ineffective, Exedra shot up from the ground like a bullet and threw out a scaly fist.
BOOM!
Unsurprisingly, Seras caught his fist with relative ease and even seemed to be analyzing it's characteristics.
"Hmmm.... You're a bit strong for your age, aren't you?"
Not giving Exedra a chance to respond, she instead whirled around and threw him over her shoulder like he weighed nothing.
"I still need to see a bit more, don't hold back alright?"
Before Exedra had even hit the ground, Seras delivered a solid kick to his body that sent him flying back several feet.
The dragon coughed out a mouthful of blood as his body skidded along the ground.
Ignoring the pain, he quickly recovered by digging his claws into the ground and stopping his momentum.
In the blink of an eye, the rampaging dragon was back in front of Seras and was attacking her with an intense ferocity.
Frenzied swipes of his claws, random bursts of fire, and the most destructive hand to hand combat he could muster were not enough to put so much as a scratch on the loli hybrid.
Eventually, she let out an unamused yawn before deciding to bring this entire ordeal to a close. "Alright, I think that's enough."
With a snap of her fingers, Exedra froze as his body began to heat up to unimaginable levels.
"Feel that? I had to boil your blood a bit to calm you down." Seras said nonchalantly.
Exedra could barely register her words as he was doing his best not to lose consciousness while his brain began to cook.
He fell to one knee in exhaustion and his transformation soon came undone.
"Do you understand what it means to be a dragon?" Seras suddenly asked. "It means that we spend our lives continuously bound by what is our greatest strength and weakness.
Our rage is pure and divine, that means that if we learn to control it there is not a force within creation that can stand on equal footing with us."
Suddenly, Seras didn't seem like such a little maniac and actually sounded rather intelligent.
Despite his anger, Exedra made sure to absorb everything that she was saying to the best of his ability.
"You're slow to anger, and that's fine for other races and the like, but you are Uruloki, my prince. That means that your wrath, provided it is properly harnessed, is your greatest strength."
Suddenly, dark red blood flowed from Exedra's nose and began to float all around him.
"I'll be leaving you with some time to think for a while. Think about my words, understand their truth and visualize the best way to put them into action.
The blood began to form a small dome that was intended to close Exedra in, and provide some much needed thinking time.
"Oh, and I'll be torturing you a bit while you're in there, but don't let that break your focus, okay?" Seras said with a childish smile.
As the blood dome began to seal up and cut off Exedra from the outside world, a single thought escaped his lips.
"Fucking bitch..."
