Mystical Journey

Celine had short light green hair. Although there were a few scars on her face, she still possessed a seductive figure and fair, smooth skin. In spite of the bandages wrapped around her chest as a binder, both of her ample peaks continued to protrude distinctively, exposing two extremely eye-catching buds. Long periods of training had streamlined her slender figure and caused her previously round but proportionally long limbs to tighten firmly without a single gap. Meanwhile, her hips and buttocks were merely covered by bandages that were wrapped into trouser-like shapes that only reached her knees while the other parts of her legs were completely bare. From afar, she gave off a wild charm.

However, Garen had seen all kinds of beautiful women. Naturally, his emotions would not be aroused by such a sight. There was only an extremely determined student standing in front of him now.

"After going through so many consecutive classes, your endurance test is finally over. Today's task is acute awareness train…"

"Hold on," Celine interrupted him suddenly. "You've been training me all this while but I can finally feel that my progress has increased recently. We haven't personally engaged in actual combat yet, so why don't we try it properly today?"

"Try it?" Garen pondered for a moment. "That's fine too. However, are you sure that you want actual trial training?"

"What's wrong? Is that not okay?" Celine raised her eyebrows and asked determinedly.

"It's fine, of course. I had this plan in mind earlier as well. I'm merely bringing it forward somewhat now," said Garen casually.

"So we're going to do it?" Celine laughed twice and bounced on the spot lightly.

"Pay attention, I'm going to start now!"

Garen raised his hand and looked at his watch, "One minute."

He then casually told her, "I'll destroy you in one minute."

"Wanna try?" suddenly, Celine felt unconvinced.

Pfoo!

She had barely finished speaking and before Garen could even raise his head fully, Celine had charged over spontaneously. She kicked her leg upwards towards Garen's chin violently while her slender leg caused a strong gust to roll up and whistle.

If she had managed to land this kick on a regular person, her victim would already have been admitted to the hospital for serious injuries such as fractured bones.

However, this was not the case for Garen.

He deflected her move with one hand.

Bang!

When the instep of her long leg collided and intertwined with the back of his hand, Garen swayed on the spot lightly while Celine stumbled a few steps backward before making great efforts to stand steadily.

"Use all of your strength. You're too weak," said Garen simply.

"Easy for you to say!" Celine had fought to the point where she was provoked now. She grasped the daggers on the weapons rack beside her quickly before taking a sudden big stride forward and charging over again.

Three whooshing noises could be heard as three knives streaked across, leaving faint gleams of dazzling light. However, none of the knives hit their target as all of them were gingerly evaded by Garen without requiring him to move his footsteps at all.

"Useless," Garen slapped his right hand downwards. He hit Celine's arm lightly before releasing an extremely dull but loud noise that sent the daggers flying.

A banging noise could be heard before the bandages on Celine's arms tore open and dispersed suddenly. A large bloody mess appeared on her arms immediately.

"That was really strong! Again!" Celine did not show any signs of anger but laughed instead. She took large strides and approached while preparing herself for close combat. Her elbows and one of her knees attacked in three different directions simultaneously. She formed a strange pose while the strong winds stirred around her. In her current state, she resembled a fearsome tiger that was about to pounce.

A whooshing noise could be heard suddenly when she leaped directly into the air. However, she had overexerted herself and was struck downwards by the back of Garen's hand. A tearing noise sounded through the air immediately before the bandages that covered her entire back fell apart and tore completely. The bandages around her chest tore open at once as well while a pair of white jade-like rabbits bounced out immediately in an extremely seductive manner.

"Such quick speed!" Celine did not seem to care at all. She had truly practiced to the point of madness and was completely unconcerned that her modesty had been exposed. Instead, she pounced over immediately. She had placed her hands together closely and interlocked them before stepping forward and closing in on Garen. Her hands were ready to seize the key fibers and muscles at Garen's weakest points.

Garen had many experiences that would help him counter close combat like this. Moreover, the current qualities of his physical body were greater than those of the average person on all fronts. This allowed him to achieve almost twice the level of a regular strong man. Even though Celine was strong enough, she was still just a woman at the end of the day. Currently, she was still at a young age and had yet to mature fully. Therefore, her strength and speed were still somewhat slower.

Both of them engaged in hand-to-hand combat while facing each other as the shadows of their fists and legs intertwined continuously.

"Spiralling Leg!" suddenly, Celine rolled on the ground before moving her legs in a looping motion towards Garen's thighs. She was using extremely great force that would cause an average person's bones to break immediately if they were hit. The continuous sweeping motions of her legs formed a series of circular arcs that approached Garen relentlessly.

Garen lightly jumped vertically, only dodging the hit at the most critical moment.

"Are you just going to dodge?!" roared Celine.

"Dodge?" Garen smiled and swiped his right leg down steadily while immediately kicking his left leg forward swiftly without any other fancy movements.

Bang!

When both of their legs clashed, the bandages around her legs tore open and flew away at the same time.

Garen was lucky. The tremendous force had caused Celine's tight bandages to tear open at once. Furthermore, all the white bandages on her upper thighs had scattered completely. Her upper body was naked now while the lower part of her body could almost be seen as well.

"Still want to fight?" asked Garen, smiling.

"Of course!" Celine did not have the slightest hint of hesitation. Instead, she charged forward and continued approaching. "I haven't lost yet!"

Their fists collided constantly with each other's before the occasional sweeping movements of their legs were added into the mix as well.

Shh!

The fists and legs of both people intertwined immediately again before the last bandage on Celine's body tore and flew away.

"Stop creating trouble," Garen stretched out both of his arms slowly before increasing the pace and performing a chain of hammering punches several moments later. Both of his hands formed a large hammer that struck Celine's right arm so quickly that it was impossible for her to react in time.

Bang!

She took two steps backward.

The second punch slammed against the top of her breasts immediately, causing her to become slightly dazed.

The third punch.

Garen stepped in a circular motion and moved behind Celine before landed three consecutive punches on her. Every punch landed on the back of her waist, releasing dull thunderous quakes.

After the loud bang, Celine was sent flying at once. She hit the ground painfully and stopped moving completely.

"That was ruthless!" she could still speak and even giggle. "This is finally strong enough!"

"Still coming?" Garen looked down at her.

"I haven't lost yet!" for unknown reasons, Celine's face was redder now while pink and red flushes appeared on her neck as well. "Keep going!" she had managed to support herself and stand up again after taking great pains to do it.

"This is the continuous Twelve Flying Dragon Fist that I wanted to pass on to you," Garen tapped both of his fists together gently and made a noise that sounded like two blocks of wood colliding against each other. "Observe carefully."

Instantly, he dashed forwards like a slender arrow and appeared like a ghost in front of Celine who had just gotten up.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

His fists rained down upon Celine, bringing countless fragmented shadows with them. His punches landed on her chest and abdomen and when Garen turned, his punches became even stronger immediately when they landed on Celine's back. The powerful shocks across her front and back mutually canceled each other out, forcing Celine's body to remain on the spot without moving.

For the final punch, Garen pushed both of his hands forward and clapped downwards.

Boom!

Celine's entire body collapsed, starting from her shoulder. She rolled forwards painfully for more than ten meters while nearly crashing into the wall.

She coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Haha! That was fun!! Again!!" her voice had become strange.

"Enough. You don't even have enough strength to fight back anymore," said Garen indifferently. He could vaguely smell a strange scent that he could not place. It resembled the bodily odor of a virgin faintly. He glanced over at Celine before noticing that the area between her legs was wet. Apparently, this fight had aroused her…

"Eh? It obviously hurt when you hit me earlier, so why does it feel nice instead now?" Celine could feel a strange sensation just by lying on the ground.

"This person… Don't tell me she's a masochist…" Garen could feel the annoyance forming black lines across his head faintly. He turned his head and looked away to avoid being rude.

"What's wrong with being a little wet? There's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's just a bodily instinct. Isn't this just an orgasm that they talk about in the books? How strange," Celine sat on the ground casually and pointed at Garen while teasing him. "We're just individuals who are pursuing ultimate strength, we don't need to care about insignificant things like our flesh bodies."

Once she had finished speaking, she stretched her legs open without a care and began to inspect the condition of her lower body right in front of Garen without covering herself at all.

This rendered Garen completely speechless. Despite experiencing three different worlds, this was the first time he had encountered such a strange specimen. If this accident had not occurred, he would not have discovered Celine's masochistic nature and her endearingly silly personality.

"I'm going to leave first. This is about basic politeness," Garen was helpless and could only turn around and walk towards the doorway.

"Do as you please. If you can't even free yourself from these worldly bindings, how are you going to pursue the ultimate sources of power?" Celine's taunts echoed behind him. "I never thought of you as someone who cared about worldly customs initially, but now I see that you can't even let go of such things. How unfortunate."

"This strange person…" Garen stumbled. It was truly impossible for him to understand the type of environment that this person had been brought up in.

"Remember to bring me some tissues back if you're going out. It's really uncomfortable to be wet down here."

The moment he opened the door, Garen heard some noises behind him immediately.

The maids who were standing in the doorway had heard as well while dazed expressions appeared on their faces suddenly.

"You… Both of you…"

"Go get tissues!" Garen's head was filled with unexpected rage and slight exhaustion. Perverts like Celine had no sense of shame. If this was the true meaning of being free of all moral bindings, then he would rather…

"Oh… Under… Understood…" the little maid had suffered a great shock. Her face turned as red as an apple at once but she sneaked a quick glance into the room before running away and leaving hurriedly.

Garen saw that there were other maids inside the hall whose faces were also flushed. They were other students from the academy who were hired as help. Most of them were young girls who had yet to experience real life. Therefore, their faces turned completely red at once when they heard people speaking about such topics.

Moments later, the maid who had dashed away earlier returned and lowered her blushing face before speaking softly.

"Would… Would you… need this as well?" she took out a transparent little sheath shyly and passed it towards Garen who stood in front of her.

"I just need some tissue…" Garen scratched his head and said softly. "Frankly, there's nothing between Celine and I. You must understand, an accident happened during training. You know what I mean…"

He explained patiently but it seemed as if the maid had misunderstood something as a look of comprehension flashed across her face suddenly.

"Oh… I understand. It's that thing, is it…"

Just then…

"What are you doing?! You haven't brought it yet and you've caused it to drip across the entire floor!" Celine's loud yells echoed from within the room again. Her voice was extremely loud, allowing the entire hall to hear her words clearly…

Garen felt an impulse to raise his hands towards the sky and utter a long cry. As he looked on at the hall full of shocked faces, he knew that it would be impossible for him to get rid of their suspicions no matter what he did.

He took the tissue paper for Celine quickly. When he saw the mischievous look on the girl's face, he knew immediately that she had done everything on purpose.

"This is the power of worldly customs. Watch, hehe," she sat on the ground and laughed. Frankly, this girl was not bad looking and was actually quite pretty. She had a good figure and face despite her fierce personality. She liked fighting and was crude. If she had not undergone the latest scar restoration surgery, it would not be a problem for her to pass off as a man who had more than seven scars on his chest.

When Garen remembered the cartoon that he had once watched on earth, the same black lines of annoyance formed on his head again.

"Keep sitting down if you want to die!"

"I'm just sitting here and you're already threatening to hit me~~" Celine's face deserved to be slapped. "Lucky for you, I haven't had enough fun yet."

"I…!" Garen was speechless.
