Luke's heart was beating hard, now, behind him. There was Meredith completely naked. The two were sharing a not very spacious bathtub, Luke's strong back was touching the Half-fox's soft skin.
The young man's senses were completely confused by the situation, the contact with her, the heat of the water, her scent and the steam from the water, everything was making Luke go crazy. Amidst so many sensations, he focused on staring at the bathroom wall, while ignoring his desires.
However, Meredith broke the silence
"When we get back to Broteforge, I'm going to ask Ayumi and Alexis to accept me."
The silence continued in the bathtub. But Luke could hear his own heartbeat and also that of the young woman behind him.
Meredith turned around, splashing water all over the bathroom. She embraced Luke, pressing her breasts against the youth's back. After it, Luke was now able not only to hear her heartbeat but also feel it. He was starting to lose control of his own mind, the feeling of her huge boobs, and her nipples pressing against his back, all of it were blanking his mind.
The Half-fox then moved her mouth closer to Luke's neck and said softly
"Wait until then, big boy"
The young woman then got up and got out of the tub, wrapped herself in a towel and went out into the bedroom. The moment the bathroom door closed, Luke lay down in the tub and began to stare at the bathroom ceiling.
"What the fuck was that, Ahhh! I almost lost control" He said as he propped one of his arms in front of his face.
Now he was completely decided, he was going to make Meredith his third wife. But now in the young man's mind, a greater doubt arose, a challenge that he didn't know how to handle. Probably the most difficult battle of Luke's life.
"How the hell am I going to be able to wait for it?"
One of the greatest fruits of maturation is self-knowledge, learning to recognize your weaknesses and evolve with them. To be able to face the challenges posed by life every day and come out stronger. All this concluded in a single answer, Luke knew that it would be difficult to wait until he returned home.
After much thought, he got up and got out of the bathtub. His decision was also straight up.
Luke and Meredith had chosen to sleep in the same room, but in different beds. But that night, they both had the same urge to put both beds together and wake up the whole dormitory.
Both possessing keen hearing, they both knew how fast their hearts were racing. The two slowly began to avoid thinking about the bath, and just chose to sleep.
The sun was elegantly illuminating the mornings at the Academy. The crystals of the Diamong Plateau glittered reflecting the sun, a beautiful sight to enjoy from the bedroom window. Luke was now watching the sea glistening with sunlight and beginning his first real day.
As usual, he started his morning with his daily exercises. First he did push-ups, then sit-ups. He then went outside his room, and since no one was awake, he started doing barbells with one of the support arches in the hallway.
His body was feeling the effects of the curse, which weakened him and made it difficult for him to perform the exercises. Even though he was weakened, the young man managed to complete the exercises without any problems. Luke then went to the bathroom, took a quick shower to rinse himself off, and was ready for the morning.
[You almost didn't make it yesterday, did you? said Balance, in a sarcastic voice.
You're pretty mean for a goddess.
[Now that you've finished your training, I have a suggestion for you.]
I'm all ears
Balance then directed Luke to practice his wind magic with a ball. His goal was to try to levitate a small paper ball as long as possible. To do this, the half-wolf again imagined some sort of wind whirlwind coming out on top of his hand.
Controlling the wind really wasn't that different from using his Gene <Vind> ability. But it was still a much more challenging task than the young man imagined, in particular, keeping it in the air was much more difficult.
If the ball fell forward, he had to advance the tornado and swing it in the air. If it turned to the right, he had to move the wind flow to bring it to the left. The mana expenditure was not a problem, but these continuous adjustments gave Luke a headache.
Gradually he got the hang of it, and managed to keep the bowline in the air for five consecutive minutes. His grip on the wind was becoming greater and greater. In Luke's mind, he was already wondering how he could apply this in combat.
For example, what would happen if he made all the air around a person go away? Leaving the target unable to breathe. What he might do if he were able to control the wind-throwing of a dagger, or even an arrow.
The uses of magic were limitless. And even better, Luke didn't have to worry about mana regeneration. Which made the boy continue training spells and basics of wind magic for hours.
After a while, Meredith woke up, finding Luke trying to keep a knife flying in the air. The weapon was spinning around itself. The Half-wolf was now able to keep light objects flying. The throwing face was not as heavy, which was ideal for being able to keep it in the air.
"How are you doing this?" Meredith asked, in a sleepy voice.
"I'm using two basic wind magic spells" Luke replied.
When the half-fox actually awoke, she was startled noticing the knife spinning near Luke's throat. The young girl then asked him to stop playing with magic, even more so after never having been instructed about it.
Imagine what would happen if the knife came flying out at his neck. In the end, they both started to laugh about the situation, which lightened the mood and prevented the awkward silence of the previous night from repeating itself.
The main reason for Luke to focus on wind magic now, had been its proximity to the Skill <Vind>. It had become the ability to fly that the mages of the academy were shown to possess. The moment Half-wolf saw Orion of Zhao coming down from the sky flying on a sword, he knew he would need to learn how to do this.
So, Luke decided to gather information about it. He would have to meet with Zhanid at noon to receive the information about his new activities. But since it was still 8 in the morning, he had enough time to explore and learn at the academy.
The First thing the half-wolf did was go to the receptionist, since she knew he was a new member of the academy, it shouldn't be that complicated to ask some questions.
"How do students manage to fly around the campus? I was interested to learn that."
The receptionist then took out a piece of paper and wrote down some information for Luke.
"Every day there are basic flight training classes. They are run by the Air Blade Group. You can look for them at the training center.
As he still had some free time, he then followed up on the information given by the receptionist. The boy took a map from the academy and went to the other end of the island, to a beach.
The walk across the island was long, he still didn't feel completely refreshed to go running. His lack of knowledge of the terrain made it impossible for him to take shortcuts, which made Luke feel slow for the first time in a long time.
The beach area was protected by a series of mountains that formed the relief of the academy, however, what most caught Luke's attention were several arches that were flying across the sea.
They formed a kind of circle, and some mages were flying on top of Greatswords. There were few who used shorter swords, and even fewer students were flying on staffs.
Seeing this surprised Luke, they were following flying through the arches at a speed that was surprising. The boy then approached some people who were standing on the beach.
"Good morning, I was told that here I can ask some questions about how to start flying.
The two girls who were chatting then turned to Luke and noticed that he did not yet have an academy uniform.
"You're new here, aren't you?" The blonde-haired girl asked.
"Obviously he's new," the red-haired girl added.
"You must already have advanced experience with wind magic to have a chance to join our group" The blond-haired girl continued.
Then a strong sound stopped near the group with a gigantic speed. The Wind was cut off in seconds.
"Congratulations on the course boss! It's a new record!
"Congratulations leader!" said the red haired one.
Luke then turned around and realized that the one behind him was the same mage as the day before. The black-haired young man from Zhao, the head of the flight group.
