[A/N: Important chapter. No sex. Don't get your hopes up, panic, or both.]

"Charlotte. We're going to work on [Domain] control now." Helix announced with a warm smile.
Charlotte's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.
"We have the best cooperation already, but we need to work at scale." He continued.
"However, if I'm leading the attack, we'll need to drill the fortification spells and swordplay and shift between intervals.
It's a new dynamic, as I primarily work with spells in mid-distance attacks."
Charlotte nodded with an understanding expression.
Helix turned to Marie, who was waiting patiently.
"Marie, while we're practicing, master [Sink]." Helix instructed.
"You'll need to master both if we want fall options.
Dual sinks would be a dream, but don't push yourself because it's absurd to think you'd be able to do it in two days.
So don't overexert yourself. Use the short time to the maximum advantage."
Marie nodded in decisive agreement.
"I should be able to do that, so long as there are at least two seconds between intervals."
"It's huge. So that should be expected." Helix nodded.
"I'll work on it right now." Marie replied.
"I'm moving south to practice in the eastern direction."
"Thank you, Marie. You have the most difficult job, but if any of us, I know, can pull it off the fastest." Helix claimed with a slight smile.
Marie blushed furiously.
"Y-Yes. I'm going now." She stuttered before turning around and running to the south.
Helix turned to Riley.
"Riley. Follow Marie and use the excess debris from [Sink] to practice long-range [Wind Dance]." He instructed.
"Since you're protecting the troops, we'll need you to work at a distance.
It's critical. Once I'm done with Charlotte, we'll practice our defense spell, as you need Charlotte's Fireball to train for the Lagrock attack."
"I'm on it." Riley said with a soft voice before disappearing with ghostly speed.
Helix chuckled and took a moment to appreciate her gentle simplicity.
He turned back to Charlotte.
"Okay, let's get started. Let me draw up earth pillar spells so we can practice." Helix announced.
"I can't wait until something is protruding hiiiiiigh and proud~ly." Charlotte smacked.
"You're… aggressive today." He replied with a narrowed but appreciative gaze.
"But of~course, Master Helix." She replied while curtseying with an invisible dress.
"I fell in super-like with you for your cunning, and you're at the highest you've ever been."
Helix wanted to laugh because Charlotte used a different way to avoid the word [love] every time.
However, he was drawn in by her aggressive advances.
"I suppose that is why you fell for me." Helix said with eager eyes.
"And what you're doing is why I was initially drawn to you."
Charlotte gave him an evil grin.
"Catch~me if you can."
She burst from her position toward the training site with lightning speed.
Helix followed behind but kept pace to let her win.
He [wanted] to chase her.
While he ran, he touched his neck and pulled out the one earth pillar spell he had on him.
It was a practice for the archway pillars he summoned for their arrival.
When Charlotte got to the training site, she turned around with her hands behind her back.
Then she started walking backward while swiveling her hips like a model.
It drove Helix crazy to watch.
He threw the battle disk thirty feet behind her, causing a massive fifty-foot pillar to shoot out of the earth.
Helix disappeared from his location as the spell summoned the pillar.
Charlotte gilded her eyes to the left to follow him.
While she couldn't keep up with Helix, she had insane stats.
She could see him running, and she liked what she saw.
Charlotte felt Helix's arms around her waist abruptly.
The blonde would have been knocked out cold if it weren't for her extreme defense stat.
So she bit her lip and sailed away with him.
BOOM!
Charlotte crashed back-first into the earth pillar.
It was an aggressive blow.
However, she was grinning and biting her lip.
Helix was pinning her against the shattered wall with a strong grip.
"That… was seriously fucking hot."
Charlotte reached her hands to the back of his head and pulled his lips to hers.
She pushed her tongue into Helix's mouth before he could.
They were at war for the most passionate partner.
After a lust-driven make-out session, she pushed Helix off her playfully.
"Aren't~you aggressive?" She chastised playfully.
"... Oh, shut up." Helix scoff-laughed.
Then he pushed his mouth onto hers again.
Rocks were falling on top of the two, and they didn't notice.
Charlotte reached up and touched the ceiling of their body-made cave.
"[Do~main]."
The earth cracked and groaned under pressure.
Charlotte showed her immense skill by crushing a section off to the south where Marie and Riley might see it.
It was time for training.
—
"This…." Marie muttered as she ran up to the pillar.
The pillar itself looked like a poorly chiseled statue.
Charlotte had practiced domain with pinpoint precision on various areas, crushing certain parts and leaving others intact.
She used [Gravity Dance] to make rocks float, a basic wind spell to glide rocks above certain areas, and [Domain] to chisel off small sections.
Gravity Dance was a new skill partially unlocked during training.
But she fully unlocked it after the Colossus' death.
It took far more spirit particles but allowed [Domain] and [Zero] to be fused.
It was masterful.
However—
"Are those… body imprints?" Marie asked.
"I don't know what else they could be." Riley commented in a surprised voice.
When a body hits a wall at a massive speed, it doesn't break the wall into a beautiful human figure.
However, a boulder doesn't create an oval-shaped crater in a rockface—let alone eight of them.
They circled the pillar and stopped halfway to the north side.
"Ummm…. Hi." Marie called out.
Charlotte and Helix let their heads fall to the left to face her.
Boom! Boom, boom. Boom.
A massive rock hovering above a chiseled-out section fell to the earth once [Gravity Dance] was released.
Charlotte was casually chiseling out sections of the rock face while laying on the ground.
Helix was also laying on the ground with a worn-out expression.
They both looked exhausted.
"Hello~" Charlotte replied in a lazy voice.
"Hey there." Helix chuckled with an exhausted expression.
"What… happened here?" Marie asked while pointing to one of the eight caves in the wall.
"Hellie and I had extremely~kinking sex before training." Charlotte replied swiftly.
Marie's eyes widened in shock.
She wasn't even jealous.
Marie looked at them and back at the imprints.
[Kinky] didn't begin to describe the violent scene unfolding.
"It… was hot." Charlotte clarified.
"Hellie's worn out. It's fine since you both like sex of the [gentle~er] variety.
So don't feel cheated; he left plenty of stamina for the both of you."
Marie's face turned bright red.
The conversation she was having with Charlotte was extremely bold and surreal.
There were craters in the wall, and Helix wasn't sighing or trying to explain.
He looked like a satisfied vegetable.
Marie shifted her eyes to Helix for some form of confirmation.
She didn't know whether to be happy or concerned.
"It's true. If you want to…." Helix confirmed with an exhausted smile.
Marie turned bright red again.
"W-Was this [training]?" She asked nervously.
"Nope. Just sex." Charlotte replied casually.
"Just sex." Helix affirmed.
Marie turned back to the wall again.
"I'm sorry we didn't use the full-time training." Helix said with a lazy voice.
"We all have alone time together for two hours.
I figured everyone could spend a half-hour with me how they wanted to since it's rare."
Marie and Riley's eyes sparked, but Marie's eyes widened again when she remembered the topic at hand.
She looked back at the rock face.
"Are you saying that… this… is how you wanted to spend your alone time?"
"I don't suppose the rock pillar would look that way if we didn't." Helix chuckle-sighed.
"I don't understand…." Marie replied nervously.
"Tutorial. Hellie gets super~passionate and pounds you with the earth rod, and then he pounds you with—" Charlotte tried explaining.
"No… I get that you're into crazy stuff, Charlotte." Marie replied in exasperation.
"It's just that…."
"Just~what?" Charlotte chimed sarcastically.
"I think Marie's trying to ask why Helix allowed this." Riley interjected sweetly.
"He doesn't like pain or aggression in sex."
Marie nodded with a mildly concerned face.
"Defense stat." Helix replied weakly.
"Defense stat." Charlotte confirmed.
Hazy realization washed over the two.
It made sense, but it didn't at the same time.
"During~battle, the defense stat kicks in." Charlotte chimed.
"So we couldn't feel the pain but only enjoyed the cozy love nests."
"B-Battle!? So was this part of training too?" Marie cried.
"Nope. Just sex." Charlotte replied.
"Just sex." Helix replied softly.
When Marie's face ballooned in redness, Helix asked the gods for energy to sigh.
"I try to give you three things you desire, so long as it doesn't affect me negatively." Helix sighed.
"I don't like pain or the psychological feeling of hurting others."
"But it did~'nt hurt." Charlotte sang.
"It was aggressive without him hurting me in the slightest."
"It was a unique, [inspired] experience." Helix chuckled breathlessly.
"Charlotte wanted it passionately, so it worked psychologically.
I couldn't do it with either of you, so please don't ask.
I'm happy to give you what you want, but this is so extreme only Charlotte would beg for it."
"Beg for it?" Riley asked with wide eyes.
"Beg~ for it." Charlotte confirmed.
"She begged for it." Helix affirmed.
Marie and Riley looked at Charlotte like a sex fiend, but she liked that.
She was a sex fiend, so it was a compliment in her eyes.
Helix chuckled when he saw their panicked expressions.
"I did the first one to feed her passion." He explained.
"I was certain she'd like it. After that…."
"Begged for it." Charlotte reaffirmed.
"She begged for it again." He followed.
Marie looked around the pillar to count.
"Multiple times." Helix sighed.
"All~the~times." Charlotte sang.
Helix turned his head to give a wry smile.
"Hellie stopped because he said it was too dangerous." Charlotte pouted.
Marie chuckled with a gawking expression.
That was obvious at a glance.
"Multiple times~" Charlotte added seductively.
Marie and Riley blushed slightly.
"Charlotte… The rock face was starting to wobble and fall apart." Helix sighed.
"That's what made it ex~citing." Charlotte declared with passion burning in her eyes.
"It was like [lethal sex Jenga]."

BDSM. It's a thing. A shocking number of women are about it.
If they weren't, Rihanna would have 150m fewer views on Youtube, 50 Shades of Gray wouldn't have become an international best seller, and many love lives would have suffered dry, meaningless deaths at age 25.7.
It's not for everyone.
Neither is sauerkraut, but it's unreasonably delicious if you're a winner.
I don't care if you don't like sauerkraut, but don't boycott it.
If you do, I'll call you out on Twitter with the hashtag #savethekraut. You've been warned.
If something doesn't hurt you or the people involved, it's not a problem. Let people marry their anime body pillow or post regular pictures of their toasters online. It's not hurting anyone.
We're otakus and weebs. We're weird asf. If we were normal people, we wouldn't be throwing money at cliche, cookie-cutter wish-fulfillment stories in our 20s.
