Seeing that my opponent is my wife who has been building up her confidence and pride, I decided not to hold back, well I will hold back considering the unknown adverse effects to Eleanor if she temporarily surpassed soone way above her level of power and the fact that I can't just hurt her during training, well, she already knows that and we already agreed to her term, she also wanted to test if her skill detects the intended power the opponent will bring out.
As I was staring at her with a lowered stance, I noticed that Eleanor was gulping quite frequently, which I can understand, whoever saw that mushroom cloud I created would be unnerved no matter who they were, suddenly, while I was still quietly observing her, her eyes lit up and then made a thumbs up, that is our signal that she has already confird the "sensor" ability of her skill, the thumbs down is when she confird it but it was detrintal, aning that she doesn't have a system choice to ignore the holding back of the opponent and can just go with the current strength, good thing it did not. Seeing this, we started fighting for real, with a step, I disappeared from where I stood and appeared in front of Eleanor, my fist already inches away from her face.
Eleanor's eyes visibly widened, but imdiately, she cald down, and with an uncharacteristic reflex move of bending her knee 90 degrees together with her body, she dodged the attack, I waited for her counter, fights in this world against strong people will make 10 strikes be unleashed in a second in average, but she really has a slow reaction ti, she even made an "Woah..." sound when she saw herself bend like that.
_Why are you surprised, I make you bend all the ti, though I was the one who got bent a little while ago._
As I said that, I decided to wake her up from her stupor and redirected my punch toward her face once again, her head slumped to the ground as she was shocked, and it seed like Bakunawa misunderstood my intentions because just when Eleanor deactivated her skill and re-activated it, she caught my fist and glared.
"What are you doing!?"
Her voice was fierce, apparently, she was worried about her lady being injured, she have already co a long way from a person who always gets electrocuted because she doesn't want to obey my commands to soone who worries about her monarchs, I'm quite proud of her. That was all I could think of before a punch landed on my cheeks, my brain imdiately started to bang with my skull and the bones supporting my jaws were practically turned into dust, I looked at Eleanor who seed to take advantage of the little exchange Bakunawa and I just did to overpower my speed aspect, she then deactivated her skill and reactivated it now overpowering my strength aspect and punching with a might greater than mine.
_Actually, she ignored holding back and used my new strength to punch , and even though the only powerup I had was absurd physical and magic strength, that was still a great cheap shot for a sparring session._
I could not help but be amazed, she knew she could not win if she did not do that, so she used my full strength instead, causing to be flung really hard through the air, Bakunawa stared dazedly as she looked at my hand that was forcefully ripped off because of the force of the punch, in a fraction of a second, my hand regrew from the blood shower whilst my brain and jaw also stabilized, I firmly landed on the ground and saw Eleanor looking at her fist with sparkle on her eyes, even Bakunawa squinted her eyes and said: "Follow it up."
Well, Eleanor is used to being called the weakest of Urduja's children so she's new to the feeling of punching so hard that the receiving person is sent flying, but that is not the problem here, no one should be amazed by their ability during a fight, I lightly stepped at the ground and once again disappeared, after which I crept my right hand on Eleanor's right breast and squeezed it a few tis whilst my index finger is pointed at her carotid, sweat imdiately began forming on Eleanor.
"Ops, you died... and molested, it's a good thing that you have sparred against before using your new power on hostile enemies, you can't stare at your fist the mont after you use it, you have to follow through your attack. Also, I can see that you have beco more confident with the fact that you did not doubt for a fraction of a second that you will be able to hit in the face, that is a good thing."
"Also, when fighting, your reactivation and deactivation speed increases from 3 to 1, but I have the feeling that our future opponents will be so strong that I would need the hero version of you and Bakunawa to win, so that is not enough, you have to practice it, so that you can activate it in an instant, actually, how can you even take so long in activating a skill?"
Eleanor was so embarrassed in my battle assessnt that she was not even blushing with what I was doing and was thinking hard which makes groping her less fun to do, well I will not stop regardless, going back, after I asked such a question, she replied.
"Well, the system appeared as sothing like a panel to , and every ti I activated a skill, I would instinctively turn it off, so I would lose so ti when I waited for it to reactivate, plus, my body would need ti to react to the change in power, so it will take a very long ti."
At her explanation, I cannot help but wonder, does the system appear like a panel? The good thing is that I have the sotis reliable [Guide] who imdiately answered my question.
[You just use a little bit of your conscious because of your freak tier ntal processing while veterans just ignore it, so Eleanor who uses her skill to heal wounds and defend the backlines in most of her war experience will be alienated from this ability.]
Eh... can I do sothing like that? Well, it doesn't matter, but I cannot help but curse the flawed upbringing of Urduja to her lots of adopted children, why can't she just make it so that her children can take turns fighting in the frontlines, with her pull in the monarchial governnt of Gjallarhorn, she can turn the Kingdom against Apolaki and Mayari empires and receive a free training ground for her children, but instead they had to fight terrorists and cultist.
_Well, that is too extre, so she will not do that._
Going back, even though I said all of this, I cannot do anything about this in one week, so I have to create a proper training plan for her in the following week, I would probably request Urduja's help because Bakunawa will attempt her partial hero's test one of these days (though she refused to say what that test is and why it is partial.)
_I really like to help her here, but unfortunately, I can't use Kage Bunshin, and delaying the things I have to do will be delaying my preparations for the wedding of and Eleanor, I want such an important event to be grand, also, I want to clown Roselle by giving him an invitation letter._
While I was thinking of all that, Eleanor was also doing so, she then said.
"Ah, how about I make the panel of the system visible in front of all day and all night until I can use it instinctively?"
I nodded at this suggestion and even Bakunawa did so.
"That is quite a good idea, though that would be impossible to achieve in a week."
Eleanor nodded and then caressed the hand that was playing with her breast.
"Though you will be quite busy after this week... I'll just ask for one of my big brother's help."
I nodded and then also suggested bringing in the strongest so that the discrepancy of strength will not be too big, the strongest is a noble in the Urdujan Territory, so he's available and was not bound by a shit chain of Roselle. I stopped fondling Eleanor's breast and continued training her, such training lasted in a week with Eleanor improving rapidly, but still not satisfactory for her given that her point of reference was , after that week, I begrudgingly stopped training with her, and let the strongest sibling of Eleanor to enter my Kingdom, he's called Warden, apparently, he regrets choosing that na and chooses John instead, so I would call him Warden from now on, well, he's really strong and not a clown-tier strong like Noir, so I am not worried that the quality of the fights Eleanor will receive will be lower.
I also put so restrictions on him because why would I not, I invented a disposable teleporting device on a paper with a large clearing as a destination, this will be the training ground, he will be staying in the city hall and will only et with Eleanor when the training starts, they can do whatever they want when they are in breaks through. I also modified my command to the second in command of Magayon, he will be responsible for the creation of the rifle prototype but will not be responsible for the operation of the ga lab, this is a suggestion from Eleanor as it would make her look like a negligent leader if she did not manage the whole picture.
After all of that, I cannot still help but sigh, I really want to accompany Eleanor while she is training, but like she said, all of my schedule will be pushed back and the situation that is otherwise under control will spiral out of my hands, I don't want that. I massaged my head whilst thinking of this as I drank a sip of my hot coffee, even though I didn't feel cold I still wanted to feel the spirit of winter, with a sigh I spoke to the maid in front of my door.
"You can make Sipnayan enter."
The maid nodded and then opened the door, she then made her way to a green-colored woman with pointy ears, she had a stack of papers in her hands, also she was wearing a sweater for the cold weather to co. While I was observing Sipnayan, I pointed at the papers in her hands.
"Where did that co from?"
Sipnayan looked at the papers in her hands and then smiled.
"These papers are the samples from the paper machine you have designed and the construction departnt materialized."
Huh, so they didn't wait for to operate it after all, huh, but still the blueprint I gave them has the way to operate it, it's just a manned version of those big-ass machines during the industrial revolution that has lot of wheels, it is not that hard to operate considering the physical capabilities of an average goblin/monkey. I shall visit the factory so that I can praise them, also I got to create an automated one, I will be losing manpower if they have to pull big ass levers every day.
"I see, I shall comnd them later on, well, co in, I heard that you have a presentation for a business permit application."
I smiled at Sipnayan whilst she nodded, she had a solemn face like she thought that there was a chance that I would reject this proposal, though she's operating illegally in terms of my law, so I guess that's a reason too. She put the stack of papers in front of with a calligraphy on the front page that says "Business permit proposal", I turned the paper on the next page and there was first a bunch of illustrations of the exterior and interior of the place and words describing them.
She then proceeded to explain all the things on the docunts, she emphasized two things, the recipes that are currently and will be available and the sanitation process she have gone through when building the first location of her restaurant. Of course, these things have my standards as The Standard, so that ans that the ventilation is good, the building is not near any factories or military sites and the utensils are made out of tal, and in food, all of them are what I have requested when we are still a resource point, kaldireta, kare-kare, etc. all has been modified to et the lack of ingredients available.
Also, there are a lot of rice sweets that only appeared in the royal kitchen, it seems like Mirasol and Sipnayan have a close relationship, anyway, like I said they were modified to adapt to what is available, after about 30 minutes of explaining the prospects of the business in profit, economy, and culture, Sipnayan ended her presentation with a: "These, alongside other unknown prospects will be available for the restaurant and Kamatayan."
I nodded at this as I reached the end of the docunt, I squinted my eyes and fixed it once again in front of whilst I said.
"You are a strong fighter, very much so that I want to force you into the military, but I cannot deny one of my citizens her dream, so congrats, you are now the owner of the first business permit in Kamatayan."
Sipnayan's expression brightened as I pulled out a paper from the factory using the 4th dinsion and wrote using magic the necessary formalities and signed it with my na, after seeing this, Sipnayan was teary as she said.
"Thank you, my lady, I promise to live up to your expectations and will beco the bastion of culture in your great nation."
