After they were done with what Alex liked to call a bonding session, he decided to start her combat training.
Bonding Rate: 9%?
She was only one percentage point away from generating daily EP for him. He would give her his love when they got back home from training.
"Haah~ haah~" Gwen was breathing heavily after multiple orgasms in a row as she curled up on the bed.
It was the most comfortable bed that she'd ever felt in her entire life.
[Consider this your pre-workout incentive. You have five minutes. Get ready for your training. We have 1 hour of intense physical exercise followed by one hour of hand-to-hand combat training.]
[What! No… I'm tired…] She whined.
[Training is important.] He said in a hard tone that made Gwen unable to refute.
She pouted and started getting her breathing stable while trying to prepare herself for the workout.
[What kind of physical combat am I going to learn?] She asked him since she was curious.
[For now? None. I'm going to get you used to fighting someone who outclasses you in every way, with better reflexes, better senses, and better physical strength.]
[Who's that?!] She didn't know whom Alex found.
[Me of course… Did you think that I'm some sort of helpless blob of tentacles that can only help you live out your dirty tentacle fantasies?] He called her fetishes out, embarrassing her to death.
[Hey! You're the one with tentacle fetishes…]She grumbled.
[Right… Get up. your 5 minutes are up.] He told her to get up.
[2 more minutes…] She pleaded.
Alex didn't say anything and made the bed that was under her disappear as she fell on the floor.
"Hey!" She complained. Alex had already covered the naked girl with her Ghost-Spider suit as she fell on the hard concrete.
[Chop, chop, get to work.] He told her.
"Fine…" She got up and took a deep breath, getting herself into the zone.
[We'll start with 10 laps around the warehouse.]
[That's it?]
[Of course not. With 10 tons of mass pressing on your body.] He told her as her suit seemed to have suddenly gotten extremely heavy.
"Eep…" She almost fell when so much mass started pressuring her body.
"Alex, I think think this is too much…" She didn't feel like she would be able to complete a single lap like this.
[Get to it, Gwen. You can stop in the middle if it's too much. We have to start somewhere. Now Go!] At his signal, Gwen started running.
Although she seemed to be walking while taking heavy steps.
Alex paid attention to her body as it was exerted to its limits. Alex was patient with her as he cheered her on.
[Keep going, Gwen. You can do it!] His words made a difference as she seemed to be pushing herself with full force to complete her lap.
It took her 5 minutes to complete the first lap.
'We might have to increase the time duration for today… It's fine, it's not like she needs any sleep with me around…' Alex realized that with her speed, it was indeed going to be difficult to get done so quickly.
Gwen on the other hand was under excruciating pressure as she completed her first lap. She didn't have the luxury to pay attention to her position as she was only able to pay attention to each step that she took.
She felt like it had already been hours since she'd started.
[Good job, Gwen… One lap completed.] He told her as the weight that was pressing all over her body instantly disappeared.
"Haah… Hah…" With that, Gwen fell on the floor while taking deep breaths.
[60-second rest. Then we'll start the next lap.] He told her.
"Alex… Huff… I don't think… Huff… I can't do it… Huff." She was huffing hard.
[You can do anything, Gwen. You should trust yourself more. And most of all, you should trust me more…] Alex told her as suddenly, her body was rejuvenated to its peak state.
She was speechless at this situation.
[I told you. With me here. You can reach heights that you've never dreamed of.]
"You're going to torture me like this for a long time aren't you?" She asked him with dread in her tone as she stood up.
[For all eternity, baby…] He told her as her suit started pressing on her again, increasing the weight to 10.5 tons this time.
[Go!] At his signal she started walking.
"Argh..." She growled as she increased her pace of walking.
40 minutes later, she was done with 10 laps. By the end, she'd made a lap with a weight of 12 tons pressing on her.
That was the limit of her base stats on the previous day.
Today, after this training, it had already increased to 12.5 Tons.
After the next part of the training, Alex knew that it would increase to 12.75 tons and by the end of the hand-to-hand combat, she would at least be at the 13 metric ton threshold.
Next up was strength training, Alex's presence had basically removed the need to buy any equipment as he was able to create whatever he wanted at a moment's notice.
Another hour and a half later, she was done with her strength training.
Alex had increased the one-hour physique training time to two hours after realizing that the laps were going to take more time than anticipated.
When she was finally done with her strength training, Gwen ended up flopping down on the uncomfortable concrete floor.
[Get some rest, you deserve it…] Alex told her as he formed a bed under her.
[So now you have a conscience?] She was bitter about being put through such a hellish training regimen. She was constantly pushed to her limits and when her body was too tired to move, Alex would rejuvenate her body to its peak state. It was almost like torture to Gwen since her mind was being put under a lot of pressure constantly.
Alex could've also rejuvenated her mind, but that wouldn't have been beneficial for her. He wanted her to get used to pushing herself to her limits constantly. Only then would it be possible for her to go all out without holding back when it actually mattered.
Pushing herself to her limits should become second nature to her.
[I'll let you rest for 5 minutes before we get to the hand-to-hand combat part.]
[Can't we do it tomorrow Alex? I'm really tired… ]
[We'll be doing this every day, Gwen. No excuses.]
Gwen was horrified when he told her that.
"Every… Day?"
[Every single day. My strength is very much linked to yours and I'm a very greedy and power-hungry symbiote. I will make sure that you keep getting stronger so that I can get stronger.]
"But…" She didn't think she would be able to take this kind of intense training every single day.
[Nothing will happen to you. I can make sure that you not only get stronger but also don't end up breaking down. Think about it. Just in this session of two hours, you can now lift 12.75 tons from the previous 12 tons. No one has that kind of growth in normal circumstances.] Alex spent some more time talking to her and convincing her.
"Fine… But if I wake up tomorrow and feel too tired and sad, I'm blaming you…" She grumbled to him as she got up from the bed.
The five minutes were up and it was time for the next lesson.
As she got up, black tendrils started coming out of her suit and coalesced into a humanoid figure.
It was Alex. His upper body was naked and he was wearing nothing but combat pants that were suitable for their training.
"Nice to meet you, Gwen…" He smiled at her.
"Alex?" She had a confused expression on her face.
"In the flesh. I took up a human name, taking a human form should hardly be surprising. I made my face look like something that suits my personality." He told her.
"Amazing…" Gwen was admiring his toned body.
"You can admire me later, for now, let's get to fighting," Alx told her as he took a fighting stance.
He'd already started some light physical and martial arts training with Natasha in the MCU earth so he had some understanding of how to fight.
"When the bell rings, we start fighting. It will end in one hour, no excuses. If you get too hurt, I will heal you up. So go all out because I'm not going to hold back." He told her as a bell was created at the side.
Gwen had a determined expression on her face as she took a fighting stance. Although untrained, she'd fought for quite a long time and had some tricks up her sleeve.
*Ring*
Both Alex and Gwen Rushed at each other and threw a punch at each other. The two punches clashed, creating a slight shockwave as Gwen's fist was pushed back.
She was at a disadvantage in direct confrontation, so she tried to use her speed to get the jump on Alex, but he was even faster than her and caught up to her.
Even when it came to her senses and reflexes. Her Spider-Sense fell short of Alex's. This was because the symbiote race is better at sensing things and has an innately strong sensory ability.
What followed was a one-sided beatdown of Gwen as she was shown what would happen if she met an opponent of a similar level or even stronger than her.
It wasn't going to instantly fix her issues with using her strength, but regular training of this sort was going to be very beneficial for her.
As the training ended, Gwen's strength had reached the 13-ton point and she was left with a battered body as she tried to recover from the torturous beatdown that she'd received.
"I feel like you're worse than that bitch who took away my powers and beat the crap out of me…" She was really second-guessing her decision to bond with Alex.
"Aww… Are you pouting? Come here, my big baby boo…" Alex teased her as he picked her up in his arms and brought her to the bed.
She didn't have any strength to resist as he hugged her to his chest and cuddled with her.
