Using a cheap practice sword, Aurora continually hit a metal cylinder. Between each hit would be a couple seconds long break, and with each strike, a small dent or scratch appeared on the cylinder.
Aurora would throw her sword into a pile of discards whenever it broke. These swords were readily available to disciples, and their only purpose was for practice. When they broke or got too dented, they would be recycled. The same was true for the cylinder; they existed so that disciples could practice their techniques.
Aurora focused on channeling her energy through her arms and into the sword in the very specific pattern which the Severing Rose demanded. A loud ringing sound resonated as the blade snapped in two, but the strike's power had merely been as strong as the ones before it. Aurora repeated the action dozens of times until, finally, a faint sheen appeared on the blade. An ear-bursting sound rang through the practice room as the most significant dent yet, appeared on the cylinder.
"Great!" Aurora exclaimed. She'd finally figured out exactly how to utilize her inner energy to use the Severing Rose technique. She struck the cylinder several times until the metal object was a dented mess.
"Alright then, on to the Streamline Sword," Aurora said. She hopped back several times, stopping about ten meters away from the cylinder. For a moment, Aurora focused on her sword. Then, she brought it down. Nothing happened.
Again, she repeated the movement several times; however, this time, it only took ten or so tries before an energy beam appeared where she had swung. The beam shot towards the dummy and placed a large scratch on it.
"Still need to practice a bit before I can bring it to full power," Aurora mumbled while looking at the aftermath of the technique. Indeed, it had not been much more potent than a typical sword strike, but that was to be expected. She needed to get used to the technique before utilizing her energy perfectly was possible.
It was the same for the Severing Rose. Its power was still a good deal weaker than her Ten Limb blades, but there was still more than a month until the tournament. Aurora was confident that she could master the two techniques by then. After all, they were low-tier techniques, so they only had one stage, unlike the Ten Limbed Warrior technique, which had four levels.
Aurora had mastered the third level the day she lost her virginity and was still far from getting to the fourth level or complete mastery.
Aurora spent the rest of the day practicing her two new techniques, steadily increasing their power.
The Monday after Aurora started training in her new techniques was the seventh of April and the first Monday of the month. Which meant it was time for Aurora to work in the third area of the public sex department. Aurora was about to become a prostitute.
She'd learned that the brothel operated very differently from the other parts of the public sex department, as one would have to work in the evenings. The morning after the first class was totally free for those working the brothel. That meant she'd be alone during her free time and away when her friends were free, though. This was a large part of why the sect had decided to cycle the disciples through the three divisions. The brothel was also exclusive to the women of the sect, as there wasn't very much interest in male prostitutes. Men were in short supply, so most worked in the porn studios, and a few did modeling.
That didn't mean there was no hope for women who wanted to have a good time with a man from the Blossoming Rose sect. One could request an appointment, and someone would be sent over. But they weren't readily available like the girls and were also more expensive. Price would be defined by the supply, after all.
On the other hand, disciples working at the brothel were paid more contribution points, much like night shift workers in the outside world, which was something Aurora looked forward to.
Dressed in her black sect uniform, an outfit worthy of any prostitute, Aurora entered the brothel. It was already hectic inside. Topless girls rushing around, their breasts bared for the customer's benefit, serving drinks and snacks. There was also a pub inside the brothel, where customers could wait for their turn with a disciple or just enjoy themselves. As an establishment owned by the sect, it was naturally trendy, not to mention the beautiful topless servers.
The servers weren't disciples, though. Instead, they were all composed of civilian workers. Since the brothel was located right by the sect's entrance, employing outside helpers was no problem.
The disciples' only responsibility inside the brothel was to have sex with customers. Of course, if a customer took a fancy to one of the serving girls, and the woman was willing, she was permitted to sell herself in one of the rooms, but she had to give the sect a cut, and she couldn't be cheaper than the disciples. That would only draw attention away from what was important. It wasn't a common thing, but it did happen occasionally.
Aurora didn't get much time to observe the atmosphere of the brothel, as only seconds after she entered, a woman approached.
"You're Aurora, right? Come, I've already got a customer for you. We're a bit short-staffed right now, but I'll give you a rundown of what to do before I let him in," the woman said, grabbing Aurora by the hand and dragging her away. Aurora was so startled that she didn't even speak back. Soon, the two were inside a room with a bed and a couch.
"Alright, first thing first. You can get naked right away. Second, our customer's needs are the most important in our establishment. You can't make demands of them; they can do whatever they want, except violence. If he wants to cum inside you, let him. They are paying a lot of money to have sex with you, so you must show them a good time. And you should definitely be on birth control while you're here if you have any intentions of getting pregnant soon. Getting impregnated by a client would be a shame.
Third, ensure they feel like they're giving you a good time. Your customers will probably not be as good as what you're used to, and they might not be as big. Moan a bit, and fake an orgasm if they can't get you there.
And the final thing, you have to call the customers master. That's our thing; we treat our customers like our masters. Oh, one more thing, actually. He gets to cum once, and if he wants to go again, he has to pay extra," the woman explained. The already naked Aurora nodded before replying,
"I understand. I will make sure the customer enjoys his time with me," Aurora said
"Good. I'll go get him now," the woman said before leaving. A few minutes passed before the door opened again, and a man came in.
"Greetings, master," Aurora bowed, pressing her boobs together between her arms.
"Good evening. I understand this is your first time in the brothel?" The man said.
"Indeed it is, master. Would you like me to give you a blowjob before we have sex, master?" Aurora asked.
"Sure," the man responded, taking a seat on the couch.
"Great," Aurora said as she went down on her knees between the man's legs. She immediately unbuckled his pants and took out his cock. She looked the man in the eyes, smiling lovingly while stroking him gently. Then she opened her mouth and lowered it on the man's rapidly hardening cock. She swallowed it whole and started sucking and licking right away while bopping her head up and down.
"This might be your first time selling yourself, but you're still a Blossoming Rose disciple. Damn, you're good," the man said as he winded his fingers through Aurora's hair. Aurora slid her mouth off the man's cock and took a deep breath. She dove back down, rapidly slurping up and down on his shaft, with her hands wrapped around his hips to hold him steady. Bobbing her head on his cock, Aurora quickened her pace, the head of his penis burying deep in her throat, drool running out of the corners of her mouth. After several minutes of forceful deepthroating, she let his cock fall out of her throat so she could breathe.
"You taste pretty good, master," Aurora commented while taking a deep breath. This was the smallest cock she'd ever had inside her, but from her knowledge of all the porn she used to watch, she could tell that he wasn't actually small. The men from the sect were simply too big, and she'd never fucked anyone else before.
Keeping a decently big dick inside her throat for so long would make even Aurora short of breath.
"And you give a killer blowjob, girl. Now, how about you get on your back and spread your legs for me," the man said.
"Yes, master," Aurora responded, eager to get fucked in the pussy. She jumped back into the bed and spread her legs wide, giving the customer a splendid view of her smooth pussy. There was not a single hair on her body. Not having to do any grooming was definitely one of the most convenient benefits of the Blossoming Rose constitution, but one that wasn't given enough appreciation. Only those who actually had to shave their legs could appreciate it.
The man pulled Aurora close and groaned as he thrust his cock into Aurora's pussy. He grabbed her breasts, his fingers delicately grazing her nipples, driving her wild. Aurora humped onto her customer's stiff cock, moaning loudly and digging her short fingernails into the bedsheets. She actually found it pretty pleasurable, even though it was not nearly as good as the sex she'd had with Koren or any other disciple. However, she quickly discovered that the man could not last quite as long. After only four minutes, he came inside her pussy, and the amount of semen that entered Aurora's womb was much lower than Koren's.
To be fair to the man, Aurora was an incredible fuck, and he'd gotten a fantastic blowjob just before the sex. He didn't seem very strong either, maybe not even the Energy Storage stage. Possibly, he was just pent up and had spent a long time saving up to have sex with Aurora.
"That was great," Aurora sighed happily as the man's cock slid out of her.
"Thanks. You were simply amazing. It's incredible how tight yet deep your pussy is. Maybe we'll meet again the next time I'm here," the man said. Then he left without saying anything else. The woman from before came back after the door had shut behind him.
"Congratulations on your first customer. Now, you have five minutes to get clean before your next customer. As I said, we're short-staffed right now. You'll get a bit longer between clients when there are more girls here. And you'll be using this room for today. But for now, I'll show you to the washroom," the woman said.
"Alright," Aurora said as she bent down to take her clothes.
"You should just stay naked until it's time to go home. Getting dressed every time you go outside takes too much time," the woman said.
"Oh, okay," Aurora said before following her teacher in prostitution.
"Remember, you must be back in five minutes, so just focus on what's important, like getting the semen out of your vagina. If you're covered in cum or something and have to shower, just dry yourself on the way back. Keep your hair dry if possible," the woman instructed as Aurora followed her through the brothel. And soon, they were inside a shower room.
"Alright, I'll leave you now. Return to your room when you're done. All your customers will come to you," the woman said. She left in a flash, not even allowing Aurora to respond.
"Man, things are quite hectic here. Well, it is the most popular brothel in the nation, so it makes sense," Aurora thought. Taking a quick glance at her surroundings, she started cleaning herself.
She hadn't really gotten dirty from the sex, so all she had to do was get the semen out of her pussy. She squirted a bunch of water in there to rinse it out and only spent a minute or so doing it. She had never done this before, as cleaning semen out of the vagina like this wasn't really necessary, but she had to prepare for her next customer. She could see how he might not want to fuck her while another man's semen was inside her. Usually, Aurora just used a wipe, but that might not be enough for this situation.
Clean again, Aurora quickly returned to the room she'd been assigned, curious about her next client.
