Chapter 36: Disciplining the Two Female Knights (3) 

I became the master of Helia and Martina. 

Considering their status and strength, it was a ridiculous situation, but fortunately, such a master-servant relationship only existed in bed. 

Outside the bedroom, I was still a slave with a leash tied to the lord. 

To survive in such a position, I needed to increase my strength, so the help of the two was essential. 

“Then today, let’s train how to control mana together.” 

“Ah, yes. Please take care of me.” 

Naturally, one must be serious when training. 

Helia mainly taught me how to handle mana, and under her guidance, I quickly mastered various techniques using mana. 

“Your growth rate is very fast. Not only is your mana control high, but you also show outstanding talent in sensitivity and skill.” 

“Hmm, how talented exactly am I?” 

“Judging by your current level, you’re comparable to a full-fledged knight. At this rate, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say you could become a squad leader within a year.” 

A squad leader commands about ten knights. 

In my original world, this was unimaginable, but now I truly realized how blessed my body was after coming to this world. 

“But no matter how talented you are, repeated training is necessary to fully bloom.” 

Just as pride welled up within me, Helia warned seriously. 

“Especially when dealing with intangible energy like mana, repeated practice to hone your senses is essential. So don’t be complacent with your current evaluation and keep striving steadily.” 

“Ah, yes. Of course.” 

I was feeling noticeably stronger and enjoying it. 

While continuing training with Helia’s advice, a brilliant idea suddenly came to mind. 

“Helia, you said the best way to improve mana control is through repeated practice, right?” 

“Yes, but are you feeling bored with the training?” 

“No, that’s not it. I thought of a very good training method involving repetitive activity.” 

If applied properly, this method could help me master mana control even faster. 

And to fully realize it, a partner is indispensable. 

“If it’s okay, I’d like to ask for your help with this training.” 

“Since it’s a training method you came up with... I’m happy to help with whatever I can.” 

Helia readily accepted my proposal. 

Feeling satisfied, I headed with her into the shade and immediately began the training I had in mind. 

We stripped down and touched each other’s bodies, repeating the same movements. 

“Haa, haa...♥ Ei, this is definitely training...♥” 

“Yes, it is training. Helia, can you feel it? My mana is being controlled according to the motions.” 

“Yes, I can. I definitely feel my senses sharpening quickly... but this isn’t training, it’s sex... uh, haa...♥” 

“Sex involves a lot of movement, so it can be a good training method. Of course, if it feels wrong, you can stop anytime...” 

“No, if it helps, I’m okay with continuing. Besides, it’d be a shame to stop halfway...♥” 

Helia cooperated with my perhaps reckless suggestion. 

Her wet body smoothly accepted me, making the training much easier than expected. 

“Haa, haa... Ei...♥ If it’s okay, could you speed up a bit?” 

“That’s possible... but don’t forget we’re training.” 

“I remember. But it feels so good...♥” 

Of course, it’s better to enjoy it while doing it. 

I immersed myself in sex with her for a while, practicing mana use, and I could clearly see my mana control improving. 

That was the moment I realized sex with a woman helps with mana control. 

The next day, Martina came to teach me in place of Helia. 

“Today’s training is with me~” 

“Thanks for helping, but can you really teach me well?” 

“Oh, come on, do you not trust me? Even though it looks like this, there are as many knight candidates training under me as stars in the sky~” 

“...That might not even be enough for the entire population of this world.” 

“Just accept it and stop complaining. You’re so persistent about this, it’s like you’re not even a man.” 

Martina threw me a wooden sword. 

Reluctantly, I caught it and took my stance as she grinned slyly. 

“Alright, let’s spar.” 

“Spar? Fight here?” 

“Experience is better than theory. Besides, you need to see your current level to plan future training.” 

“Seeing is believing. I don’t have much combat experience, so fighting someone helps me get a feel.” 

Sure, that’s true, but... 

“Don’t worry too much. I won’t go all out on a beginner.” 

“...A beginner?” 

“You’re a beginner if you’ve had less than a month of combat experience. You don’t really think you can match me just because Helia trained you, do you?” 

Ha, look at her. 

Though I don’t have much battle experience, I’ve knocked out thugs with one punch and overwhelmed a dangerous criminal in my second fight. 

Helia even called me a genius with great potential. 

For her to still treat me like a newbie is pretty laughable. 

“Are you sure you won’t regret saying that?” 

“Hehe, looks like that hit a nerve.” 

I quietly threatened her, but she shrugged it off. 

Then she smiled wickedly and pointed her wooden sword at me. 

“A little provocation helps motivate trainees. So since you’re riled up, come at me with all you’ve got. That way, I can better gauge your skills.” 

“Alright, I’ll flatten your nose today like you want!” 

Why hold back when she wants that? 

I took my stance and swung the wooden sword with all my might. 

Time passed, and the result was... 

“Alright, match over~” 

“...Damn.” 

Martina lay sprawled out, smiling triumphantly down at me. 

My heart filled with frustration I’d been utterly crushed. 

Damn, I never expected to lose so badly. 

“Hehe, feeling it now? The difference between you and me.” 

“...Yeah, I thought I’d gotten stronger, but I guess I still have a long way to go.” 

So my talent hadn’t fully blossomed yet. 

As I was thinking this, Martina helped me up and gently brushed the dust off my clothes. 

“I want to praise you for not giving up. Usually, girls lose heart quickly when sparring with me, but you kept going until you were completely exhausted.” 

“Well, giving up doesn’t suit me.” 

In my previous life, I might have given up already. 

But my body in this world was somewhat of a cheat, and I found myself more motivated to take on challenges. 

Martina thought highly of that. 

“You have solid muscles and good stamina. Most of all, your perseverance is admirable. If we quantified physical and mental attributes, you’d be a hexagonal talent, and your innate talent is almost genius-level.” 

Her evaluation was as generous as Helia’s. 

But since I’d been soundly defeated, it wasn’t all positive. 

“But that’s as far as the praise goes. Your basics are excellent, but your technique is lacking. At this stage, you’re only good for a strength contest.” 

“Hmm... So you mean arm wrestling or something won’t work against skilled fighters like you?” 

“Exactly. And of course, fights in the arena aren’t just strength contests. To survive, you need to master how to use your excellent physical abilities better.” 

In other words, I needed to improve not only my mana but also my technique. 

Having been crushed by Martina, I couldn’t just rely on my cheat body. 

Accepting that, I asked Martina, 

“What training do you think I need most right now?” 

“The best is to learn how to use your muscles. For example... I think you should learn wrestling.” 

“Wrestling? The one where you bump bodies and fight?” 

“Usually, martial arts specialize in certain areas, but wrestling uses every muscle in the body, making it great for overall conditioning. For someone with talent like you, wrestling is the best training.” 

Wrestling uses the whole body to control the opponent, so it’s more efficient than just punching. 

I agreed immediately, but before starting, another exercise came to mind one that also uses all the muscles. 

“I thought of a training method better than wrestling.” 

“Better than wrestling? No way. I think wrestling is the best for using all muscles.” 

“No, I think mine is more efficient. Though it also needs a partner like wrestling.” 

“Hmm, you sound confident. Alright, since we’re here, I’ll try it. Do whatever you want.” 

Luckily, Martina was positive about my training idea. 

Grateful, I took her and began serious training. 

We stripped naked and wrestled on the bed, using all our muscles as hard labor. 

“Haa, ah, haah, kuh, keh-♥” 

“How is it? This uses all your muscles, right?” 

“Uh, training, you say... training...♥♥” 

“It is training. Since we’re bumping bodies, it’s no different from wrestling.” 

“Y-yeah, but... keuh!” 

I choked her by the neck with my arm, and Martina trembled. 

Feeling the tightening inside, I smiled triumphantly and teased her. 

“What’s wrong? You were so cocky before. Can’t get out of this?” 

“N-no way... it feels too good...♥♥” 

“Then learn this well: in bed, you’re no match for me.” 

“Ah, huh! G-go away, go away~~~♥♥” 

Martina, once confident, was now reduced to a training sandbag. 

After repeated training, I discovered Martina’s weak points and could spar with her more easily. 

I realized that understanding your opponent’s weaknesses is as important as technique. 

About a month into training with Martina and Helia, the third match at the arena was approaching. 

Unfortunately, they had to leave temporarily on Renes’s orders. 

Of course, they had their own positions and couldn’t always be by my side. 

Having learned from them, I headed to the training ground to prepare for the third match and review my training. 

At that moment, I encountered an unexpected visitor. 

“There he comes.” 

“That’s him, right? The one from the rumors...” 

When I arrived at the training ground, I saw about ten men who had arrived before me. 

They were all slender and short. 

The leader, regarded as the representative, showed clear displeasure when he recognized me. 

“Hey, you’re the criminal the lord captured recently, right?” 

“...Criminal?” 

“You are. You made a deal with the lord to pay your debt by fighting in the arena.” 

A “criminal,” huh. 

I didn’t recognize his face, so it seemed we were strangers. Why was he suddenly picking a fight with me? 

Feeling irritated, I noticed the short men around him whispering insults. 

“Look at how well he’s taken care of his body he’s clearly trying to charm women.” 

“He’s probably been screwing every woman he can.” 

“Helia and Martina only help him because they like him. Don’t think they’re training him for your sake.” 

“Everyone in the knights’ order knows you’re just a whore who sells her body in the arena!” 

The men whispered cruelly in front of me. 

Yet none of them took a swing or cursed loudly. 

If they hated me, they could have ganged up and beaten me. 

“...What the hell are these cock-loving bastards?” 

They looked like parasites, whispering insults right to my face. 

In my old world, this was the kind of thing only girls would do.
