Chapter 159 – 46. Lucia’s Mana Rod (1)
A fierce sparring ensued in the mansion.
Me and lucy The two swung their swords until their clothes were wet with sweat.
It wasn’t sparring that didn’t use mana like in the underground arena. It was a real sword fight where the two mana blades collided.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
“Whoa… Both of them are out of mana now. Then stop here.”
At the same time, he drew his sword. Lucia’s sword has been developing greatly in the past few days.
The swordsmanship learned from the mercenary in the back alley and the imperial swordsmanship of the Pantheon. Other than that, there wouldn’t be any other swordsmanship he had learned.
The ability to bloom anew every time was amazing.
‘The swordsmanship of the Orha family seen in the Imperial Library. It’s developing almost like that.’
I throw the first attack as my body leads, and I put a counter in reverse. It is an exquisite timing to bring victory to oneself.
That timing is not easy to learn even if there is an excellent swordsman or teacher.
Something that can only be realized with the swordsman’s own talent. With that timing, Lucia landed nearly half an effective hit against me.
‘It can’t get any better than this against sparring.’
My skills also improved just by dealing with such Lucia.
I praised Lucia.
“You are more advanced than the last confrontation. If it had been a real battle, like when I dealt with the witch a few days ago. It’s to the point where I’m not sure of my victory.”
“Absolutely not! I only reached half of the count. But the count’s sword strikes were mostly effective against me.”
“It’s just a difference in style. It was your sword strike that aimed at the more fatal vital spot. Great anyway Then, shall we draw each other?”
Lucia’s cheeks went red at my praise.
“It’s not like that. You are over-appreciating.”
“No, seriously. If you have this level of skill, you can expect good results in the midterm exam.”
And Lucia was now more focused on her training than ever.
Midterm exam. Among them, if you get excellent grades in combat-related subjects, you will be eligible for a new assignment with golden wings.
Lucia’s gaze moved to the insignia on my battle regalia. The wings of the platoon commander’s insignia were golden.
“It’s the midterm exam. If I can enter the golden light instead of the silver light… There will be more opportunities to participate in the mission with the Count.”
Unbeknownst to her, she said her true intentions.
I participated in most of the training of the combatants. The time to encounter Lucia is by no means small.
There is also a separate sparring once a week like this.
‘But he seems to be greedy.’
So it seems that Lucia soon became ashamed of what she said to me a moment ago. She averted my gaze.
She continued, she was conscious of her sweat-soaked clothes from sparring for a long time.
“I… I…!! Sorry! The Count’s mansion… My sweat in the gymnasium… The smell of sweat…”
There was no smell of sweat at all. And if it’s the sweat of a beauty like Lucia, it’s rather a reward.
But out of consideration for Lucia, I called Eirin.
“Eirin! Will you guide her Lucia to her bathroom? And let her help her bathe too.”
“Yeah. Young master. All right.”
Ei-rin, who had entered the gymnasium with her, bowed her head.
The two had already met each other in Cecilia’s workshop.
And although Lucia is the status of her baroness. She also treated Eirin, a commoner, with respect.
Lucy, who had no prejudice even to her demons, was no surprise.
Perhaps because of that, Eirin was also kind to Lucia. It wasn’t like she treated Liliana or Chloe.
‘It means he doesn’t wear that terrifyingly bright smile.’
So, it was the usual Eirin look. Lucia headed to the visitor’s bathroom. I headed to the bathroom of my room.
‘I’m sorry, Lucia. I guess I’ll have to skip dinner.’
The time has already passed late afternoon and evening. But today’s work is not over. No, rather, it was just the beginning.
It is good to fast for this.
‘There are so many things to fill. Should be removed beforehand. That’s why I drained mana like this.’
What I need to do today is to improve the new mana technique. To finish that practice method.
So far, the upgrade has gone smoothly.
Reinhardt and Orhein. The original technique of the two master swordsmen. It was just before the completion of a new practice method that combined only the advantages.
The last thing left is to optimize the mana load.
As each technique is the origin, it is made according to the lineage of the family and the special mana load.
Optimization of the Reinhardt Stream has already been completed through my body. And the optimization of the Orhein headwaters.
Of course, I was thinking of doing it through Lucia’s body.
‘Even though she’s an illegitimate child, she’s Lucia who’s closer to the pure blood of Orhain than anyone else.’
If it was the divine spell of the medical school that Lillia told me about. Because I can check Lucia’s body, not mine.
I washed my sweat-soaked body and organized what I had to do in my head.
***
I quickly finished taking a shower and changed into comfortable, light clothes.
‘Lucia is late.’
A simple shower. Lucia was also a woman, so it seemed to take a little longer.
Besides, she even went in with Ei-rin. Due to Eirin’s meticulous and sincere personality. You can’t treat guests who come to your house roughly.
Besides, these days, Eirin’s bathing skills have improved day by day.
‘I replaced her existing attendant with a bath attendant. It’s like attending my bath almost every day…’
A night spent making a cryolite statue of the emperor. After that day’s bath attendant, Eirin fell in love with the job.
Since it is her job to help the young master take a bath, she can keep her duty as a maid. It means that you can serve on behalf of the morning and night services, which have been often omitted recently.
Rather, using the excuse of attending a bath, they shared skinship with me more than before.
‘It would be a big deal if I served Lucia like that.’
After all, the end of the bath service was intense sexual love.
While reminiscing about what happened with Eirin for a while.
Lucia knocked on the door to my room. Then, carefully entering her, she came up to me and said.
“I… Just like you said, I changed her clothes comfortably.”
It was a different outfit than usual. Wearing a light cotton tee and shorts. However, the size seemed a bit small.
‘Did I borrow Eirin’s clothes?’
Eirin is slightly shorter than average, and Lucia is slightly taller than average.
Although she would have given me clothes that were as wide as possible. It seemed tight to Lucia. It felt like the clingy clothes emphasized the curves of Lucia’s body.
Besides, right after she had just finished taking a bath. That’s why her Lucia’s atmosphere was strange.
Pink long hair that hasn’t dried yet. And the slightly trembling round eyes looked more mature than usual.
“Is it okay to come into the Count’s personal space like this…”
“Ah. You don’t have to care about that. As you know, a quiet and comfortable place is more suitable for mana practice. I deliberately chose this place, so you should be comfortable too.”
“Yes, yes! All right!”
As if answering Instructor Darren, Lucia answered energetically.
‘I don’t think it’s a life of a combat order. The answer is certain.’
However, she is Lucia who is full of femininity as much as her appearance. The difference was quite fascinating.
A good-looking body that goes in when you go in and comes out when you come out.
In addition, she didn’t have a lot of muscle for a girl from a combat group. Lucia had soft and pliable flesh that matched that pink feeling.
Because I already mixed her and her body. She was well aware
Besides, he cautiously looked around my room. She felt cute as if she were looking at a small animal like a rabbit.
However, the short impression ended here. Now it’s time to explain to her about her mana and her qing technique.
I’ve told you briefly beforehand. Explained again.
“I said before that I learned a useful mana training method through Reinhardt’s connections. As I explained, I plan to create a new mana training method that combines only the advantages of the two types of training methods.”
I didn’t say that one of those techniques was the origin of Orhain. The fact that Lucia was Duke Pedro’s illegitimate child was a secret she was hiding.
‘Someday you will find out. There is no need to mention Orhain’s name beforehand.’
Instead, I explained that the descriptions of the two practices were conflicting.
On the one hand, the speed at which mana accumulates is slow, but the technique is pure and stable.
On the other hand, the accumulation rate and the body’s response are remarkably fast.
Instead, it is unstable and has side effects that can adversely affect the demonstrator’s performance. Said so.
‘It’s the difference between the Reinhards and the Orhas.’
Lucia understood my explanation.
“The count’s mana heart and the way he handles his sword are closer to the former. On the other hand, I prefer speed-oriented swordsmanship, so the latter would suit me better.”
“Accurate. Because each person has a technique that suits their body, to be exact, the distribution of their mana heart and mana load.”
Therefore, mixing techniques of completely different nature can be dangerous.
Even if it’s the second thing that the effect is less. If the mana load flows backward, it can pose a great danger to the user’s body.
“However, if there is a special sacred spell created by the Medica Order, the story will be different. It is a spell that can find and project even the smallest mana rods inside the body.”
The other day, Lillia scanned all the mana rods in my body at the Medical Center. It was that divine incantation.
Lilia heard of my plan at the Imperial Library, and she gave me the details of the spell.
‘I can apply that perfectly drawn mana road map to my mana training method!’
The mana load inside the body was as densely distributed as the blood vessels. However, in managing mana, not all of that mana load is used.
‘The important thing is the mana road of the shortest path directly connected to the mana heart. And it is to find the most suitable mana rod according to the type of mana practice.’
Concentrate the flow of mana around the mana rod you found. Choice and focus. Through that method, the efficiency of the mana training method is increased and the side effects are reduced.
In other words, what I need to do is create a map of Lucia’s mana road.
And by comparing the two people’s mana road maps, it was to create an attribute mana practice method that both people could use together.
My mana rod was perfected by Lilia, so I didn’t need any extra work.
I said to Lucia.
“Then, would you like to go and lay down on my bed?”
“Yes Yes? All right!”
“Oh. As explained, for the consul of the Mana Road, there is no choice but to do it this way…”
And after hearing my words, Lucia’s face turned completely red.
***
Lucia turned her hair white.
I have already been told in advance what I have to do today.
‘But I didn’t know that place would be Count Julian’s room!’
Right now, Lucia was completely off her top. She was lying face down on the bed.
Yulian’s body odor filled the bed.
Of course, the servants of the mansion must have organized this place very well, but it was clean and only smelled fragrant.
Still, the scent of a man vaguely mixed with that scent. It was undoubtedly the smell of flesh that I smelled the day we mixed bodies in the secret salon the other day.
‘The Count’s smell… Full…’
It just felt like I was losing my mind.
I was lying on my stomach, so my face and the bed sheet were close. That’s why it seemed that Yulian’s body odor was transmitted even more intensely.
When you are intoxicated by its scent. Said Julian. Lucia barely came to her senses.
“Then I will project my mana rod from now on. As I explained, my holy power will come and go through your body to find all the mana rods. Lucia, you must completely open your body to me. You know what I mean.”
“I know.”
“If you believe in me and fully open your body and mind, there will never be any dangerous things or side effects.”
“Understand.”
“And it’s the same for me to open up my body and mind. That way, the accuracy of the Mana Road consul will be raised to the maximum level.”
Lucia nodded his head.
“Then turn around and lie down. Let’s start with the upper body first.”
That means you have to show your bare breasts. Lucia was embarrassed enough to cover his face for a moment.
But the opponent is Count Julian. If Yulian wanted it, there was nowhere he couldn’t show it. She gently turned around.
‘Oh! No!’
But soon Lucia was taken aback.
It’s not even big. Beautiful breasts of the right size that draw the shape of a water drop even when lying down.
Her pink, clear nipples, the same color as her own pink hair.
Although she was confident that her breasts would not be embarrassing even if she showed them to the Count.
All of a sudden, her pink nipples stood upright without her knowledge.
