Chapter 666 Chapter 665: Asking For Training

Now that we were back at the Palace, we were free to do whatever we pleased until we were given another mission or task to complete, which would be soon again probably considering how active this Cult was, as well as the fact that we had a few places to check out for other types of materials as well if we wanted to.

Then there was the chance that we returned to the Academy to continue our studies, though that might not be the case if we have to constantly be traveling to take care of issues... though we weren't required to do anything in actuality, if we didn't think we needed to gain practical experience.

I think we were all mixed on if we wanted to go back now; it was currently a tempting offer to remain in the Academy and study, but if we were going to be consistently missing multiple classes each month to the point that our overall grades would drop, we wouldn't be in for that long.

Besides, it was calm right now, but there was the looming threat from the Cult and the threats inside the Labyrinthian, so there was a chance we weren't going back anyways if something big happened soon.

That was why I wanted to push myself now to grow faster than ever before, and why I was slightly regretting not remaining on that Island for a bit longer; I could have skyrocketed even more in levels if we had stayed, but that was risking something happening to us especially with the bosses at each location.

It doesn't matter though since what's done is done and there is no turning back the clock, so I needed to focus on the here and now and on the future, though I was keeping my focus on the immediate time, upwards of a week forwards so that I could more efficiently plan for something.

And the first part of my plan was something that I didn't want to do, but something that I thought would be rather beneficial and helpful for myself.

Currently, Anput was going to be taking all the materials we had gathered and beginning to forge them into something new, specifically newer versions of our weapons and some real armor for us to use, while Leone was going to be studying the Fiend parts with her family to understand what they could be used for.

As for Jahi, the Demoness was pestering both her Mom and Belian to train her some more on the fighting style that only Demons seemed capable of harnessing, and that was thanks to their almost unnatural physiques and prowess, while the younger Demoness also wanted to learn more about their history, which the two older Demons seemed conflicted on telling.

That left me to my own devices, and I knew that if I was subjected to more of the awkwardness surrounding the Lioness and Djinn that I would end up smacking one or both of them and having them sit down and talk about it forcefully, which would likely end up terribly with things being said that didn't need to be said.

Which was bad, since even if they were annoying I didn't want to ruin their relationship forever on my own, so...

I decided to get away from the two, leaving them to figure it out themselves like the good adults they were as I went to do something that I was... likely going to hate while doing it, but the results would speak for themself when I finished.

"The fuck do you want?"

Standing in front of me was the gray skinned, black haired, silver eyed Demon Wolf that had come to find me annoying thanks to me 'cheating' her during the special training she had given us last time.

Lady Fenryas glared down at me, the muscular woman sneering as she watched me bow to her as I asked "Lady Fenryas, could I ask you to train me again?"

"And why in the blazing hells would I want to train you? Hmm? Are you going to cop out of the training again with your clever little enchantments, puppy? Refuse to learn the same way the rest of us did?"

"Thinking out of the box is an invaluable skill on the battlefield, is it not?"

"Ah, and you even got lip! See, I was thinking about telling you to fuck right off and go back to suckling on your Mama's tit, but honestly the urge to knock that small smile off your lips is so~ damn tempting, brat. Is that what you really want?"

Leaning down, the almost feral grin on her face sent chills down my spine, but I met her silver gaze and nodded, replying "I would like to get stronger, yes, and I understand that doing so requires a great amount of effort and pain. Being trained by the best in the harshest of ways would help me reach my goal faster, even if it is more painful than I expect it to be."

"Oh, it'll hurt alright. I'm going to break you down and enjoy doing so... You don't seem to understand how much that little stunt you pulled irritated me, pup. Circumventing a lesson I didn't even want to give ticked me off, and now you're asking for MY help again? Oh, I am going to enjoy this so, so damn much... So don't blame me when I show you the pain I am able to dish out."

Her grin widened, and the tall Wolfkin woman tapped my sternum as she added "I'll even have D'Arcon present to patch you up when I break you. Wouldn't want to be inefficient with this, now would we~?"

The raw confidence and suppressed anger in her tone made me shudder, but I still nodded even as I felt fear staring at her, the understanding of our differences in strength making it hard to accept this, but...

"So... when do we start?"
