Ang rushed to the training ground with a swift increase in speed. Due to the unique effect of silent-swift Art and the darkness at night, anyone can barely even notice him.
However, just as he neared the training platform, a sword was abruptly swung in his direction, shattering the tranquillity of the night.
"Killing Intent", Ang was surprised as he quickly threw his body off balance to avoid the trajectory of the flying sword.
He barely escaped, but off-balancing during such speed caused him to roll on the ground multiple times, sustaining quite a few bruises.
"Who dares to ambush the house of the first Nobles?" a powerful voice said.
"Now, that is a surprise. I thought all the powerful warriors left the house long ago", Taught Ang to himself.
As he lay on the ground, his mind racing, a young female warrior swiftly closed in on him, her sword gleaming in the moonlight. Her intent to kill was palpable, hanging in the air like a heavy fog.
"Answer", she said, placing the sword on Ang's neck.
"Well, that's what I would like of you. I am trying to remember having a strong warrior of your calibre in my house," said Ang, holding the sharp end of the sword with his fingers so it wouldn't cut his neck by mistake.
The atmosphere was intense, as neither seemed to know the other. When the warrior decided to take action, multiple light arts were cast in their direction, illuminating the surroundings.
The warrior immediately realized her mistake after seeing the face of young Master Ang.
"My apologies, Young Master!" said the female warrior while sheathed her sword.
"Such a voluptuous lady she is", he thought to himself as soon he saw her under the light arts. She has a 6.5-foot-tall voluptuous body. Her long violet hair, with the right amount of bust and butt, along with a fit body and tan skin, would make any man go crazy for her. He doesn't know if it was the adrenaline from before or the sexy lady before him, but he was about to get a boner when suddenly he noticed something and thought, "What a waste", in disappointment.
Ang had seen such things many times in his future. After close observation, he was sure that the female warrior in front of him was a Futa, thus causing his little brother to sleep out of disappointment.
[System Notification]
[Futa:
A Rare Bi - Gender variant of a race. They contain the Body of a Female with the strength of a male.
The physical difference is that they have the genitals of both Male and Female. They are also bigger and taller than an average male.
Since they have the life essence of both Males and Females, They are proficient in internal and external Arts.]
[Most of the Arts have two versions:]
[Internal Arts: These include Arts that impact one's own self. Example performing swift-Art on themselves.]
[External Arts: These include Arts that impact others. For example, performing swift-Art on Others.]
[Their effects vary based on the sex of the caster. Males usually have better effectiveness in Internal Arts, and Females usually have better effectiveness in external Arts.]
[Due to these differences, the Futa feel naturally superior to Males and Females. They are in high demand for the position of warriors. They are treated with respect wherever they go.]
"Thanks for the info system, but I already knew most of it."
System: [Then, do you know this? Like every Art has a penalty, The Futa also have its drawbacks.]
"Interesting. I never knew Futa had drawbacks. I always thought they were a tremendous version of the race. "
System: [Yes, they do have drawbacks.]
[Their main drawback is their numbers. One might think that it's due to their low chance of getting pregnant. While it might be valid to some extent, as long they have sex multiple times, they should succeed in having a pregnancy.]
Ang: [Then what is the problem?]
System: [It is their way of thinking.]
[First, they are not attracted to males as they find them weak and unattractive.
Second, they only mate with women only if they cannot hold back their lust any more. They find them attractive but think women are too weak to handle them.
Third, they are attracted to other strong Futa. But Futa do not want to be a mother as they find it restraining and submissive. Due to this they frequently end up fighting during mating and stop the mating process. They would instead mate with a female when desperate and abandon them after pregnancy than raise them themselves. Hence, the Futa children are mostly always sold off to noble families.]
Ang: interesting.
As Ang thought about asking the system further, he heard Old Man Rue's voice.
"Freya !! Is something wrong? I felt your presence and triggered the light arts in this direction," Shouted Rue while rushing in our direction.
As soon as he realized the situation, Old Man Rue had sweat dripping on his forehead and said, "I apologize, Master Ang. I should have informed you beforehand. This is Freya, the warrior of our family."
Seeing old Rune, Ang sighed. He could kind of understand why he hid the fact about Freya. Looking at how sexy Freya was, he assumed I would force myself on this Futa, resulting in her leaving the estate and the family becoming defenceless.
"Don't worry, old man Rue. I don't swing that way," said Ang, looking at Rue with a dissatisfied look. He then started to leave for his residence. He wanted to return while the effects of the silent swift Art were still active. The last thing he wanted now was to display his tortoise walk due to penalty.
Rue understood the meaning behind his words and felt like somebody had lifted a heavyweight from his shoulders. Before he could say anything, the young master had left. Upon seeing the speed, Rue was shocked. He initially wanted to seek an explanation from Freya on her actions. But after witnessing the young master's technique, he understood why Freya acted as such. "She was taken by surprise by the sudden changes in presence," he thought to himself.
"It's as if he was not here, to begin with", said Freya, looking at the place where Ang was previously.
"A Named Art. Maybe our family can last a little longer in this martial world." Old man Rue said to Freya with a joyous smile. He then continued instructing Freya on several things before they departed for the day.
