Chapter 141: Earned Vacation
With the fire nation cruiser now close to Earth Kingdom mainland, Nik and the girls were finally dropped off on the west coast since they would drift straight ahead to reach the Southern Water Tribe. Although Katara wanted to return to her village, she felt that her presence wouldn't be needed with Hama there. Not to mention the fact that it would feel a lot better to return with the men of their village and Sokka together.
Nik and others began to walk upstream. The nearby colony was hailed as Resort Town— built in the middle of the stream ahead that claimed to hold the best recreational facilities around the region and Nik knew they could use some relaxation.
Throughout the journey, after his and Mai's... well, fling, they had fallen into a strange state of constant training. Nik had a lot to learn from Mai and Suki even now.
He may have bridged the gap related to his waterbending because of La's blessing but the only way he kept up with Suki and others during sparring sessions was through his ability to tank blows. After all, it is simply hard to master the things Suki and Mai had over the years in mere months while he also distracted himself with constant airbending.
At this point, it was only his slightly better physique that grew with all the training and chi coursing through his veins that even allowed him to stand straight without losing consciousness out of exhaustion.
[Name: Nik Faran
Age: 21 (80)
Code: GC—EHG—98034
Authority Rank: 1 (9.65/100)
Paradise: Transmigration
Title: Transmigration Intern
Bloodline: Adonis' Ember (Common)
Physique: 2.3→ 2.5
Mental: 2.4
Energy: 30]
Although the growth in his physique felt minuscule in numbers, only Nik knew the growth in his precision, motor skills, swordsmanship, spearsmanship, and varied other techniques. This growth was not of sheer musculature or dexterity but a holistic one including the ability to move better and overall exert strength.
Of course, through learning, Nik also developed preferences. Though incensed, Suki could only accept he wasn't truly interested in wielding a sword. As exciting as it may be, wielding a spear or a staff took a shine to Nik's eyes. Heck, after weeks of training with Mai, Nik realized that throwing weapons weren't for him, too.
Learning what he didn't like, however, was still a necessity. By learning how to throw hidden weapons, he could better deal with opponents who took to this style. That is why he could now weave through Mai's attacks or block her needles when extremely focused and that was an experience worth a mountain.
His waterbending had stalled over the period where Nik felt that any increment would require a greater inspiration but he held on. The Flower of Fertility may be lying but he wanted to see if he could extract something from La's essence of waterbending.
What to do with Koh's mask— his essence, was out of his leagues at the moment.
Similar to him, the girls didn't stop training. Not after experiencing war in their own ways. Katara had taken a shine to practice the basic skills once again, realizing all that she had left only after becoming an experienced bender. Suki honed her skills with Mai, both of them testing one another frequently with brutal spars. Brutality, that Yue could heal.
This made Yue's reserves grow, in an appropriate frame, but she had thoroughly understood the basic exercises to build her strength from Pakku and Suki so her slightly toned body was a win for Nik. And he made it evident quite eagerly.
They moved in silence. Expectations flickered in their gazes as they had heard of the location from Pakku who had spent a few years in the Earth Kingdom after the war.
After this, the group decided to return to Omashu. Maybe hitch a wagon or something for ease of movement. Of course, Nik could just find a quicker vehicle in an appropriate fire nation's barracks and swipe it away.
One thing to note in this period of peaceful training was the slightest shift in the girl's behavior towards Nik. It was quite apparent that aside from the truth of bending four elements, Nik kept something from them, of course, that didn't truly affect them as such.
It was Mai's admittance to the knowledge that something within Nik, known as Mokshi, would constantly attract trouble for him. This only made Nik more tight-lipped about the situation. To not cause even more worries, after all.
Their insistence on the matter had died down eventually, but Nik could feel it still in the back of their heads.
He didn't blame them. He couldn't blame them.
If he knew that any of these girls were in some sort of trouble, he would want them to open up, of course, so that he could help them.
Alas, selfishness is a trait often shared by people who care for one another.
Still, of all the secrets, the most mysterious of them all was Mai's ability. She had gained something from Flower of Fertility. Its essence, to be exact. And possibly an energybending skill like Yue's 'Moonbending.'
Nik casually glanced at Mai for a second. His stare was caught by her as she, too, cast him an indifferent, bland glance before both of them looked away.
"We're all thinking it," Katara began and Yue beamed suddenly, "Yes, we are!" The princess turned out to be the most amorous of the group, well, after Nik. But that wasn't her most striking quality. Aside from her dusky and exotic features, it was her 'big sister' quality that made her quite easily accepted by others. She could start an embarrassing topic and turn it into fun for listeners.
"I don't mind it, really," Suki smiled, "Just the thought of hot water across aching joints is relieving enough."
"What?" Mai blinked after a few seconds and drawled as she realized the three women wanted to pull her into the conversation.
"Don't 'what' us," Katara tiptoed and snuggled right against Nik with a frown, "You've been eyeing him. Let's just discuss things and sort out a schedule so that all of us can have a chance to relax."
"As I've stated multiple times, it was the Spirit," Mai retorted with her usual monotone and glanced at Nik.
"Don't look at me. I already know it was a fling," He shrugged. Well, he knew it was more than that but seeing the briefest hint of annoyance in her eyes as he would so easily accept HER terms made Nik elated within. He would happily take Mai for another trip to poundtown. Heck, he would persuade the mother-daughter duo for a group picnic in one of the Poundtown's gardens but not before breaking Mai's indifference. It wasn't even him being petty or apathetic but trying to pursue his own interests.
"Right..." Katara drew out her tone with a thoughtful expression, "Then I call first! I've been training for weeks!"
Hugging Katara by her waist and planting a peck on top of her head with ease due to ti evident disparity in their heights, Nik remarked, "That's cute... but I wanted to try the local cuisine... I'm just tired with all the seafood back on the ship."
"How about we first reach the town before filling our baskets?" Suki smirked, "We've been chased in almost all the towns. Although the resort town... caters to vagabonds, many bounty hunters would still seek us. The news of our travel has already spread from one trading ship to another."
"Or maybe we could get a massage first. I have never had one," Yue added with a starry gaze. Unlike before, she wore a simple violet kimono and even her elaborate Hairdo had turned to a simpler style of two bangs let out to frame her face and the remaining hair tied up into a long bun.
Suki slumped her shoulders in defeat eventually when Mai responded, "Massages aren't all that great..."
"Says you," Nik snorted through his nostrils as the girls expecting a quarrel waited for Mai to supply but she never did. Instead, she elected to dig a cold glare into his back... something he never cared about in the first place.
His next words did cause Mai to react with a scowl.
"I wonder if I should get a souvenir for Michi... do you think she would like a vase or something for decorations?"
"More like a painting brush..." Katara smirked as all the girls recalled her scroll. It was a private moment and even the girls felt attracted a smidgen to Michi because of her bravery...
"A painting brush?" Mai questioned, unaware of the intent behind Katara's words.
"So that she could... ehm, paint. Nik told me that your mother is a proficient artist." Yue eased into the conversation as Mai's expression turned blank.
For the umpteenth time over the weeks, she questioned, "What was in that scroll?"
"Nothing..." Nik humbly replied, "Like there is nothing between the two of us. Oh, I get it. It was the spirits that drew up that scroll."
His words made the girls chuckle impishly, clearly, the four of them were getting along just well.
Mai, however, parted her lips to speak something but in the end, settled for silence. Not even responding to the girls for the remaining portion of their journey to the Resort Town.
---
As much as her irritation was clear at the group, things soothed over naturally once they reached the Resort Town. It was. beautiful location with two bridges acting as the entrance to the location in the middle of the reward. The stoned walls were painted white, red, and pink. A combination Mai came to dislike instantly but that didn't stop her from enjoying the hot spring.
"How did you gain so much wealth?" Mai inquired the obvious. Although they were recognized, the town had a reputation to maintain. So, Nik and others were allowed entry but everyone was sure that they would face a siege of sorts the moment they step out.
Relaxing on the other side of the natural hot spring fenced by bamboo shoots around them in the most luxurious and fanciest resort the town had to offer, Nik spread his arms and leaned back with a moan. His answer coming soon after, "What do you think? I robbed your father blind. First his wealth. Next his wife. And then her daughter. Oh, sorry, there's nothing to rob between us. I keep forgetting."
He had a smirk as he swallowed the fruits provided by the resort. Yue was next to him, leaning against her as he eyes Suki and Katara just farther away as they watched him with peculiar interest.
The water of the hot spring made the surface bit creamish to see through. At the moment, unknown to all, the water around Nik's dick was heavily clenched as the pressure seemed to surge back and forth. His legs were crossed underneath so it was as if a water nymph suddenly had wrapped his length into her mouth completely.
While the thought of him only aroused him, it was Katara who had her hand snuck under the water, clenched and moving up and down, that made Nik tether toward his eventual but silent release. As if not willing to just stop after compromising the integrity of the private hot spring, Katara continued without letting go. She had pulled Suki into the prank and even if they couldn't feel anything, just the subtle shift in Nik's expressions as he continued to grow more and more aggressive in retorting to Mai gave them plenty of enjoyment.
Yue finally felt Nik aroused. They shared a special, even if dilute connection. Even though they could practically feel each other's emotions under Tui and La's presence, the duo weren't those inseparable spirits. Still, Yue could feel his blatant arousal belatedly and curiously began to explore his thigh with her hand underwater until she felt the cruel water hold around his erection.
Her eyes widened in shock and she silently glanced at Katara, who only replied with a foxy wink that caused Suki to snicker and drink the complimentary sake.
'Well... that explains about Suki...' Yue thought wryly. If anything, Suki could be the meanest when she was drunk. Probably because she could be the kindest and the sweetest when sober.
"Men like you bore me," Mai finally replied to something Nik may have said. He couldn't care at this point once Yue joined the hold over his dick. Now he felt someone was sucking him till his balls and giving him a handjob that pressed over the tip of his cock at the same time. Yue still kept her casual smile but her cheeks turned slightly flush.
No doubt, it was exciting. To be able to suddenly have Nik in their palms so suddenly, that is. They could see through his expression as he had his head leaned back, hot sighs escaping his lips and his eyes narrowed with pure pleasure.
Seeing the lack of response from her 'enemy', someone she didn't feel embarrassed about revealing her naked body to at this point, Mai frowned.
Her tawny eyes looked over the other girls.
Suki's smug expression. Katara's mischievous smile. And Yue's stiff, but heated gaze...
"Are you kidding me?" Mai wasn't a saint and it didn't take long for her to realize what a lustful waterbender could achieve... when Nik let her do so.
He was certainly enjoying getting pampered by the girls just like how he would pamper them with relentless fucking.
His spread arms shuddered for a second and not keeping up with the pretenses any longer, he pulled Yue close and locked his lips with the once-princess of the Water Tribe.
Her ocean-blue eyes instantly narrowed down with pleasure, now both of her hands reaching down and moving up and down furiously so that Mai could observe the splashes of water centered around Nik's crotch underwater.
She blushed extremely slightly and finally elected to look away.
But someone wouldn't.
Suki.
With a giddy hick-up, Suki stood up without any caution about her naked body being exposed. With an eager glint, the Auburn-haired warrior walked up to Nik and bent down to lick his neck as he continued to make out with Yue. In doing so, she presented her wet and fresh entrance to Mai... who couldn't look away from any longer.
When things usually moved in this direction, sometimes even during their training, Mai would simply leave as if already used to their slowly increasing debauched nature... but it would be a lie to say she had gotten used to it.
While the Flower of Fertility's ability was definitely the part of the reason why Mai decided to sample freedom, as the flower phrased it, the greater part was just... getting used to the group as a whole without being part of their 'tradition.'
It didn't bug her but when the chance presented itself, Mai wanted to see what the rage was all about. Unlike others, she had first-handedly experienced the change in Nik's nature until he had begun to exude a breath of danger.
It was more like... he wasn't changing. But each event in his life, at least, recently, allowed him to uncover more about himself. Alas, Mai didn't know that she had already shared half of his newer life and it was as she observed. The more victories in any manner he experienced, the more his desires were bolstered. While Nik always wanted to get out of Esta's shadow, he never would have expected that the surge in mental strength wasn't outside but deep within him.
But he wasn't about to discredit Mokshi's, and even more, Michi's contribution.
While the former granted him strength in exchange for more troubles... troubles that could be avoided by just leaving this world. The latter had reignited his hunger and passion at a deeper level.
While Mai played with the idea to submerge her head and cool off the aching of her body... she was certainly surprised to see a tube of water rising from behind the wanton Suki and take a phallus-tipped shape before inserting it into her beautiful, well-trained cunt.
"Mmgh~!"
"Oh, my sweet warrior!"
"Aw~ You caught me~ hehe!"
Suki moaned hotly, falling on Nik as he pulled her into an embrace and set her on his lap but Yue and Katara only sighed with pleasure. While the princess suckled on his shoulder, Katara chuckled wryly but her flushed face showed that the two of them were getting similar treatment.
Not engaging with Suki's lips but instead letting her pepper his neck as she saw fit in her drunken and lustful stupor.
"Finally, peace at last," Nik smiled. Even as his erection was hot-dogged by Suki, he gazed at Mai and questioned, "Where were we?"
"Nothing," Mai snorted.
"Oh, I see..." he nodded and then turned to eat the spread of fruits in a basket placed on the stone platform behind him within his reach.
Stunned, Mai looked around. It was getting harder to keep pretenses with Nik. Although she surely gets bored and disinterested at times, that didn't mean her urges weren't ignited so wantonly back in his personal space.
She silently eyes the youth.
Violet eyes— his greatest defining feature. Swept-back black hair that would be cut short periodically and the same was for his facial hair. He wasn't the least bit embarrassed to sneak a bit of Katara's special hairless salve and keep his body clean with that. So, his gradually well-trained body had come to light. The results of his physical exercise made him... look more virile. Hot. And knowing what he can do... the 'lengths' of his achievements, Mai bit her thin lip and closed her eyes with an audible hum.
But the silence was broken by the trio's moans. Katara leaned against the edge of the hot spring, gushing spiritedly as a thick tentacle made of water continuously shuddered within her, making her a cumming mess.
Suki, on the other hand, was recovering from her drunkenness with each successive orgasm on his lap. His hands eventually hugged her and cupped her breasts to play with them as a delightful smile kissed her lips. Yue, looked the most desperate, and the most perverted. She hugged Nik's bicep, kissed his shoulder, and rubbed her crotch onto his waist while he continued to fuck her with a similar tentacle.
Shifting a little, Nik freed his cock from the confines of Suki's back and let it thrum against her pussy with every twitch.
Mai soon found... the level of hot spring lowering. First Katara's raised waist came to full view as the sudden exposure made her back arch with an explosive squirt, then Yue's depraved position came to be, making the slutty princess' eyes roll up, and finally, in front of Suki, Mai came to view Nik's erect shaft. Until then, Mai herself was pretty much completely exposed.
"It won't work," she scoffed, her voice passing through the moaning mistresses of his as he looked at her innocently, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Her brows twitched. She got more incensed and groaned, "As I said before... it was only once."
"Nothing happened," Nik's denial made her wince, "All I did was help you free from a mischievous spirit and then I got my reward." With that plain remark, he continued to snuggle against Suki as she giggled, "Aw~ shucks. If nothing really happened, you shouldn't be here..."
The drunk Suki was officially great, Nik's gaze twinkled. Even a buffoon would see how simple and efficient his teasing was. Although, he wouldn't have initiated such a perverted plot. Good thing that even without them knowing, his harem had turned into a harem of wingmen.
Mai's throat suddenly felt parched. Admittedly, the contact with the Flower of Fertility had changed her not just because of its mysterious essence but also the things it had ignited within Mai...
Aside from fighting and adventuring, something else had become her source of enjoyment.
Gazing at Nik's twitching cock, she swallowed hard. Her bland and indifferent mask slowly cracked into a short... subconsciously lascivious smirk.
"Ugh," Mai groaned and suddenly stood up before rushing out after wrapping her body with a towel.
"Aw, shucks~!" Suki giggled again, soon finding her lips engaging with Nik's as he smiled, "Come now, no need to feel sad. See, someone is excited to meet you."
Not waiting for Suki's reply, Nik penetrated her the next instant, her drenched and slippery walls instantly taking him to his roots while Yue leaned down to lick the point of contact greedily while Katara soon entered the entanglement, too.
