My Servant System



"Alright! Enough already! Take a break and do something besides grapple, will you?!"

The Countess stepped forwards and grabbed Jahi, dragging her daughter off of the Marquess before glaring down at the grinning Demoness, who now scratched her cheek wryly as she met her wife's sapphire gaze.

Jahi smiled as well as she walked over to Leone and I, both of us giving her dry looks as we took in her sand covered body and bruised skin.

I raised my hand and placed it on her arm after tracing out a few runes, getting her cleaned off and healed up despite the mild annoyance I felt at her actions, though that was outweighed by the amusement from having watched her and her Mom grapple for almost ten minutes straight, during which they tossed out verbal jabs as well.

Listening to the two of them fight both physically and mentally was interesting to say the least, but there had been a point that they reached that made us go from amused to annoyed, and when they reached it the Countess stepped in.

Shaking some sand out of her hair like a dog, the Marquess grinned stupidly down at the Countess, who was staring up at her with a raised brow before gesturing for her to go over to Mother, who was smiling softly as she caressed the two babies.

Both of them seemed rather curious initially about what was happening, with Alessandra eventually losing interest after the first few minutes and instead babbling up at Mother about something, while Lakshmi watched the entirety of the spar with focus, the little lavender Demoness enthralled by the sight of her sister and Mom battling it out on the sand.

It was something that was jarring for the first moment before I remember a myriad of things, like that these weren't human children, they had mana and were 'smarter' than normal, and that they were predisposed to different things genetically...

Alessandra was within reason for disliking physical fighting, but perhaps it was the Dogkin blood inside her veins that made her uncaring of the grappling in front of her?

As for Lakshmi, she was a Demoness of Asmodia blood, which had a LARGE disposition to fighting and bloodlust; of course she would be enamored by the sight of fighting.

That didn't mean I was interested in showing her someone get seriously injured, blood, or someone getting killed though, and I would guess that even the Marquess was against it at her current age.

Anyways, the Countess remained inside the circle and beckoned at Leone, saying "You need to exercise as well, Leone. Do the same as your Mother did a few years back, hmm? I'll take it easy on you, I promise."

Raising a finger, the Countess traced out a few red runes before pulling out a blade of flickering flames from the Ritual Circle, her mana condensing the shape and lengthening the blade a little as she perfected it for herself.

Leone copied her, creating a blade of fire as well before counting out the steps between her and the older Elf, waiting for the signal so that she could begin.

Receiving a nod from the Countess, Leone approached and swung her sword, following it up with a thrust, both of which were of average speed - to us, anyways; I could still say that they were rather quick strikes to the average person of this world.

The Countess went along with Leone's slower, calmer training and parried everything sent her way, putting on a rather talented display for someone who was primarily magically inclined.

During their warm ups, Anput found her way into the Training Grounds and walked over, yawning before plopping herself against Jahi's back, resting her head on the Demoness and staring tiredly - and happily - at me.

"I got a lot of things done today~! Just... tired now is all. What's happening?"

Jahi gently dragged the Jackalkin out from behind her and instead pulled her into her front, giving Anput a better view of the Countess and Leone sparring as she said "Just some exercise to expend some energy is all. Get fresh air and all that..."

Anput nodded before yawning again, leaning back into Jahi's chest and muttering "Well, you all can have fun then... forgot how draining forging could be physically, but especially mentally... Can't wait to show you what I made though~!"

I raised my brow at that, before turning back to stare at the Elf and Vampire crossing blades in the center, watching their fight.

It went on for another minute, with Leone warming up quickly and beginning to introduce more complicated techniques into her style, but still keeping it rather tame over all as they traded blows, their fiery swords sparking with each exchange.

But, the Countess ended it when Leone overextended herself, snaking her sword around Leone's and stopping the tip a few inches from Leone's throat, ending it in a similar way to how my spar against the Marquess had almost been ended.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Neither had been going all out, nor had they been trying to do much beside loosen their muscles in a friendly bout, which both Jahi and the Marquess found to be rather boring... not that they made that vocally known, lest the two women decide to retaliate in different ways.

As the Countess was turning towards me to suggest I take her on next, Mother spoke first, saying "Ria, look after Alessandra and Lakshmi for me? I wouldn't mind shaking off some rust now..."

We all stared at the mature Dogkin in surprise before nodding, with my own surprise growing a bit as she gestured for me to join her, a long blade of water appearing in her hands.

"Let's have a bout, Katherine. I am rather curious about where I stand currently... After giving birth and not fighting for a long time, I wonder if I still have it~?"

She smiled at me inquisitively, and I warily observed her as she stood across from me, not knowing exactly how to feel.

"Chordeva, a countdown please?"
