Aleah's words took Gina by surprise.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, it's just that your aura is incredible for a five-star knight… I wouldn't be surprised to see you outclassing an eight-star knight".
"Oh?", silverish glint flashed thought Aleah's eyes, in the last match, she noticed in which areas they outstood the most, Arianna's speed and strength were ridiculous, Lana's attacks were practically impossible to fend off while at the same time she used those same attacks as defense, as for Gina her agility, perception and reaction time were incredible.
"Are you three the ones that will be teaming up with me?", asked Aleah feeling excited for the upcoming exploration at last.
Gina and Lana exchanged gazes before they both nodded, besides the guys from the army and Reiner, they practically offended every other member of the elite class, so it wasn't hard to guess that they will be targeted, and while in a fight head on they weren't afraid of them, without someone to watch their back, who knows, they might fall into a trap.
Arianna was the most surprised here, Lana has always been carefree, she didn't even mind about losing her second rank a few days ago, although they couldn't be considered friends at least they weren't enemies, as for Gina she was always on guard, so it wasn't easy to get close to her.
Surprisingly, Aleah invited the other girls to the happy wanderer, while Calvin was busy right now, nothing prevented her from chatting and sharing a meal with them.
"Daimon, do you want to come with us, we'll also be in the same "team" inside the magic ruin, right?", said Aleah with a big bright smile.
Daimon chuckled, it wasn't hard for him to guess what Aleah was thinking, she literally had "I want another spar" written all over her face.
"Next time, try to not be so obvious, I have other things to do, but I tell you what, we can all meet at Friday, once me and the others had wiped the floor with Alexander and his lackeys".
"I need to rest too, sorry about that", Arianna also excused herself, Aura brought her with them because she activated her spells too fast, which resulted in a few muscles tearing due to the sudden increase in the tension, it was praise worthy that she could still properly walk to the resting area before swallowing one of the pills to recover.
Still Aura wanted to inspect her body, and that's why she would be coming with them.
Aleah sighed, knowing that her "plan" didn't work out, after that the everyone parted ways, Stella accompanied her little sister, Aleah and Lana who also tagged along, to the happy wanderer.
Once they left, Aura waved her hand and they all disappeared, Arianna's father was told beforehand so there wasn't any problem with that.
A moment later they all appeared inside the mansion and like yesterday Arianna was dragged by Aura to an empty room.
The difference was that when she undressed, Aura immediately frowned, she didn't receive any wounds in her fight and yet there were some small bruises in her thighs, due to the tension she wounded herself after using bio boosting, surprisingly her arms were perfectly fine.
Arianna laid down on the bed and Aura palpated the bruised areas, there wasn't any serious damage, but she will have to rest for the rest of the day.
"You know, if you keep harming yourself, it's going to be hard for you to find a husband in the future", said Aura in a try to lighten the slightly tense atmosphere in the room.
And it worked, Arianna laughed until she felt her stomach hurting a bit.
"Master, don't make me laugh so hard, my body hurts".
Aura shook her head, she handed Arianna a bottle with a potion to mitigate the pain, the pills only helped her recover but the pain didn't disappear after all.
"You'll be fine, don't forget to come see tomorrow's matches, dress up and I will take you home".
Aura left the room to give Arianna some privacy, and was welcomed by the scene of Erin sitting on Daimon's lap while her tail was firmly wrapped around his body.
"Come on, I just left five minutes, can't you wait until we are alone in the mansion?", mumbled Aura, which made Erin giggle as she pointed at Aura.
"You say that, but isn't your tail wagging with expectation?".
Still Erin heard the door of the room where Arianna was dressing up, opening and she simply disappeared from everyone's field of vision using dark curtain.
"Make sure to destroy those guys tomorrow", said Arianna as Aura took her to where her family is staying.
As soon as they disappeared, Erin dispelled her spell and immediately jumped to action, pressing her pretty lips against Daimon's.
"Mom, that's not fair you have been flirting with Daimon all the day!", said Liz as she clung onto Daimon's right arm, a second later she was dragged closer by Daimon and kissed which of course made Elaine want some attention too.
Daimon then felt a soft pair of hands making his head move backwards, his field of vision was covered by a familiar pair of breasts.
"Mom, you will come with me to the magic ruin, it's only fair for me to spoil the others", said Daimon while enjoying the softness of Aisha's breasts covering his face.
Aisha pouted before answering.
"Following the order, I should go first darling~".
Daimon bitterly smiled, he gently bit Aisha's right nipple making her smile, she then bent down a bit and kissed her son.
A crack in the space opened and Aura came out of it, as she expected the others started without her, but she then saw Daimon waving his hand at her and her cute wolf's tail wagged as she jumped to the couch landing on Daimon's lap, moving Erin a bit to the side.
After some giggles and caresses, they ended on the bedroom, the mix of creaks and moans filled the room for a couple of hours.
…
By the time they finished their lovemaking session, the sun was already setting, Daimon was laying down on the bed using Erin's body and especially her tail as the most luxurious pillow that exists, Aisha was "generously" sharing Daimon's front body with Aura, while Liz and Elaine were both hugging him from the sides.
"Darling~"
"Hmm~".
Aisha and Aura were both enjoying while Daimon stroked their hair, when they were suddenly interrupted by a sigil lector's notification.
Aura unwillingly got up Daimon's body and quickly read it as it was her exclusive lector only reserved for her duties as the principal of the academy.
While she was inwardly cursing whoever interrupted her time with her lover, she couldn't help but smile after reading the message.
The whole campus and even the academic city was in a turmoil right now, the watchtower screens which have been repeating the best matches of both days, suddenly stopped then a list of names with images next to them appeared.
"First rank: Arianna Argent"
"Second rank: Lana Ramir"
"Third rank: Gina Leeris"
"Fourth rank: Samuel Jolbaris"
"Fifth rank: Calant Allier"
"Sixth rank: Reiner Argent"
"Seventh rank: Cayden Arkuoda"
…
The people went crazy, the ranking changed a lot after the matches, but some of them weren't satisfied with the result, Reiner for example was being accused of taking advantage that Cayden wasn't at his prime, but it was him the one that challenged Reiner, so they couldn't do anything about it.
While the academic city had a festive atmosphere, Daimon and the girls took a bath and went straight to bed, the night went on without anything happening and when morning came, Daimon slowly opened his eyes and was welcomed with the beautiful scenery of the girls' sleeping faces.
Unfortunately, today he needed to get up early, so after kissing the sleeping beauties they dressed up and left to the 1-S classroom, of course Aura separated from them as she had other things to do.
It didn't take them too long to arrive at the classroom where Calvin and the others were already waiting for him, in fact even Boris and Aliya were there.
'I guess I'm the last one to arrive', thought Daimon, but he remembered the girls pining him on the bed for some little games, of course he arrived last even after waking up quite early.
The girls felt Daimon's gaze on them but they feigned ignorance, Boris then took them to the stadium, but this time they entered through the back door which was reserved for the participants and led to the resting area.
"Brats, today's matches will be quite fierce, after the rankings of the second year were revealed, everyone went crazy, so you can forget the possibility of you enemies admitting defeat… unless they can't move anymore or something like that".
"That was the idea to begin with", said Daimon as he stretched his arms.
"The rules will be revealed by vice principal Stella later, you have to stay here until the tournament starts, and I have to supervise you, it's a rule against the usage of pills or potions".
Luckily everyone had their breakfast before coming, because they couldn't drink or eat anything, besides some snacks and water which were proportioned by the academy.
Unlike what Daimon and the others thought, sounds started coming from the arena way earlier, and not even two hours later after their arrival, they were told to come out.
The first thing they noticed was that the place was already crowded, apparently the schedule of the tournament changed to take place early this time, not only that, the first match was already decided.
"Rank number 7, Leslie Risha".
"Rank number 8, Daniel Jolbaris".
Leslie took a deep breath; she stole a gaze at Daimon and then her eyes became determined.
'I will win… I will never be a dead weight for him again', she thought as she went up the platform.
