"Clang clang" echoed in the classroom as I sat there studying a mana core, and my two tails were constantly getting attacked by wooden swords that I made using my [Nature's call (LV 8)], which had started to level up quite nicely as I had been constantly practicing this magic to control the nature around me and play with it.
"Aaaaahhh" a war cry came from behind me as I continued to study the mana core, Ena held a wooden sword in her hand as she swung her sword, I used my tail to block it and attack her back, my other tail was busy with Ruby who had decided to join Ena in her studies a month ago when she came here to play, I decided to teach her too as it would be good for Ena to have someone who will study with her.
They were both very slow at the beginning of the training a month ago at that time, they couldn't even handle themselves properly, but now they were somewhat better than before. As they both landed, they both looked at each other and nodded as they did so, they ran towards my tails. I wasn't looking in their direction, but my senses were so acute that I could practically create a 3D picture of them in my mind. When they were both within my tail's reach, I attacked them both with my tails. However, as my tail approached them, they deflected it with their swords and attempted to swerve it to the side, which they were successful in doing.
As they did this, Ruby went forward and in between my tails, and as soon as he arrived near my back, I used one of my tails to strike her from behind. But just as my tail was about to reach her unguarded back, Ena stopped with her sword, leaped onto the tail, and started to run top it. As she reached Ruby, she held out her hand, and Ruby took it. Ena pulled her up as they both continued to move atop my tail towards my back.
She thought she had a clear path to my back and was only a few steps away from winning however I used the tail that Ena had been blocking to attack her from behind and knock her back to the starting point. This time, the landing was less impressive as she rolled in the dirt, and as for Ena, I simply launched her up because she had mistakenly thought that my tail was a path to my back. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
She would likely shatter her bones if she dropped from that height, so I used my tails to carefully catch her and lower her to the ground.
Ena kicked the ground and said, "We were so closed," her face red with rage. Ruby had stood up by this point and shared Ena's sad appearance. She remarked, grabbing the air in front of her to demonstrate how close she was, "I was this close."
'This is the closest you have been since you two began training, so it was a solid run,' When I eventually turned around to face them, I praised them.
When they heard my praise, they both snickered, but a little grin remained on their cheeks, which they attempted to hide from me.
'Now then, Ena and Ruby, you both have good teamwork, and I'd say that you can practically read each other's minds when you fight, but you have too many openings. Ena, when you first blocked my attack, I could have launched you to the side if I wanted to, and Ruby, when you fight, you leave your back wide open, making it easy to target.' I said,
'Anyway, this should be enough for now. Get some rest, and then let me know how far your research work on mana cores is.' As I gave them a break, I remarked,
"Let's go have lunch, Ruby," Ena said, grabbing Ruby's hand and pulling her toward the hut I had made for them. They had both moved inside the cave and were only leaving for supper. They have become close and spoke to one another as if they are blood sisters.
"Nova, what do you need?" Ruby inquired as she poked her head out of the hut door as I was engaged with my thoughts. "Anything is OK," I responded as I shrank back to kitten size and began to walk toward the cabin. I leaped into the open window since I could smell something delicious cooking as I got closer. It was just a regular hut with a kitchen, a bathroom, for two kids.
Ena was preparing something, and Ruby was assisting her while I just sat down and closed my eyes at the window. Ena helped her mother cook, therefore she was well-versed in the art of cooking.
Even though I wasn't hungry, I accepted their offer to have lunch with them because I shouldn't be refusing food in the first place.
Ena requested, "Hey Ruby, can you set the table, I'm nearly done."
"Sure," Ruby replied with a smile. There were only two seats in the hut when she began to prepare the table for three, but I sat straight on the table while eating because I didn't need to use a chair.
Ena questioned me, "Hey Nova, you want to go outside? Later, they started to excavate the area where they are going to build the castle.",
'Sure, I don't mind' I answered them as, I licked myself Clean.
[Aham, nova you're licking Yourself again,]
Fuck it Star I don't care anymore, if I can't stop my body then I won't.
I have been trying to control my body so that it won't do these random things, but after so much effort, I just gave up.
I tried my best, I even tried to make a barrier around my body to stop it but it never worked. In the end, I gave up.
Ruby said joyfully, "Lunch is ready," as Ena delivered food to the table.
I leaped from the window, ran to the dining table, leapt up on it, and sat down with my tails wagging from side to side in joy.
After all, cooked meat is delectable. Ena set a platter of it on the table, and I replied, "Thank you for the supper."
I began to take little bits of the food and began to chew it but, because I have a jaw that is different from that of the humanoid species, I am not able to savor my meal in silence.
So, as I chewed the meal and swallowed it down, I could hear Nome Nome sounds, 'It's delicious, can you pass the salt Ruby?' i asked ruby for salt. As for why I didn't use my magic to take the salt myself, well, that little tragedy happened last time I did that and I got reprimanded by the little girls, so after that it becomes a rule.
Ruby grabbed up the salt and whispered, "Tell me when to stop," as she began to sprinkle it gradually over my food. Since there was no magic permitted at the dinner table, it's all in the past now.
I can't pick it up with my paws, and I'm concerned that my tail's hair may go on the food or in the sprinkler.
After she had sprinkled twice, I told her to stop, adding, 'Maybe you could simply become a cook instead, Ena you are wonderful at cooking,' before I once again began to eat.
"Oh you like it?" she asked,
'Hmm I do' I replied,
"I wonder what will you do if I got married, then you will starve to death," she said, teasing me,
'Well I wonder who will marry a girl with only muscles,' I teased her back,
"It's all your fault if that happens." She said pouting,
'Anyway, I would have my wife to cook for me by then anyways,' I said, I am fairly confident with my lady skills.
"Oh well see about that," she said, with a strange glint in her eye,
