"Iām not just terrifying, Iām stronger than the princess, no matter how strong she is," Ava said.
"Have you ever faced her in battle? Have you faced anyone in a real battle, not just practice?" Roman asked.
"Of course I have" Ava replied immediately.
"You have not, you might be powerful, but Iām sure you havenāt fought a real battle with everything on the line, youāll find out itās a lot harder when your opponent also has everything on the line," Roman replied.
When the tournament comes, the princess would be looking to win, it was the Queenās tournament after all.
"Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to train harder or what?" Ava asked looking at Roman.
"Iām sure thereās no need, but what if I tell you thereās a way to increase your physical ability without training?" Roman said with a smile.
"Is that even possible, and no matter how I increase my physical ability, Iāll never catch up to the princess, Iāll just beat her using magic since sheās an enchanter," Ava replied.
"Okay, I was just offering a suggestion"
"What is the way?" Ava asked.
"So youāre interested, itās not a conventional way, Iāll say, and it might take some time to feel the effect, but itāll happen," Roman said.
"Some kind of new training or what, just tell me"
"I donāt think youāre ready for that, because it requires more than training, youāll also have to trust me which Iām sure you donāt"
"Iām no longer interested, I just thought about it, If you truly have a way, why havenāt you tried it on yourself"
"Why do you assume I havenāt? You know what, we should duel, no magic, close combat only," Roman spoke.
"You think you can win, alright, I accept, and letās make a deal, if you win, Iāll have no choice but to try your way, but if I win... youāll do something I want, do you accept?" Ava asked as she cracked her neck.
"I accept," Roman said as he also cracked his neck, "How do we decide the winner?"
"First to fall to the ground loses," Ava said.
"Also, you canāt use Mana to increase your strength, no magic or Mana," Roman said as he bent down, and Ava nodded.
Roman stood up with his hands curled into a fist as he raised them in front of Ava. She had a big smile on her face as she was confident she was going to win.
When it comes to magic, Roman had no chance of winning, but this was pure combat. Even though he was weaker in this world, he had the knowledge of fighting styles that Ava wouldnāt know, and that was his advantage.
Also, the suggestion he was offering was sex; his skill was [Dual Cultivation], so it goes both ways, but it wouldnāt give her much of an increase since she was far better than Roman, but now that she made it a deal, she would have no choice.
"Alright, start," Ava said as she began closing the distance between them. Roman also went in fearlessly.
Ava dashed in as soon as the distance shrank, and a big smirk formed on Romanās face as he opened his hands, which contained sand that he had picked from the ground when he had bent down earlier.
Ava didnāt expect it at all as the sand hit her face, and before she knew what was happening, Roman had tackled her to the ground.
She landed with a thud, and Roman landed on top of her before pulling away and chuckling, so she could get the sand out of her eyes.
"That is cheating, it doesnāt count" Ava spoke as soon as she stood up.
"Real battle, if that was an actual hand to hand combat you would have died in the process, I didnāt cheat, I won...sur either was a duel, but there was no rule stating I couldnāt toss sand, what if I kicked it up with my foot, would it count" Roman spoke and Ava couldnāt speak.
What he was saying made sense, but it was still cheating, and most of all, she was angry that she lost to Roman.
"If you donāt want to honor the deal, Iāll understand," Roman said.
"Why wouldnāt I, you won after all" Ava spoke, she was now slightly angry.
"Well, itās already getting later, we should leave it to tomorrow..."
"No, letās do it now" Ava spoke before Roman could finish.
"Sure, but do you want to do it here? We should go back to our room, itāll be better there," Roman said as he began walking away.
āI had thought of a way to make her do it, but I donāt really need it anymore, since a deal has been made Iāll just use that, I canāt wait...I saw Ava in the bathroom and her body was too sexyā
āPerfect boobs and ass combined with being a virgin, Iām definitely going to have funā Roman couldnāt hold back his smile as he walked back with Ava behind him.
āI thought I was going to win, I have no idea what I would ask for if I did, what does he even have to show me that would increase my physical prowess, but the way he tackled me to the ground, I thought I was hit by a stoneā
āWhy am I happy about thatā Ava shook her head immediately.
Soon, both of them were inside the room, and Roman sat on his bed while Ava sat on hers. Then he spoke.
"Itās a whole process and once we start weāll need to see it through, though it wouldnāt take much of your time, and to start you need to take off your clothes"
"Huh! Why would I need to do that?"
"Itās something physical, of course, you need to take off your clothes," Roman said.
"I knew there was nothing like that, you just want to see my naked body, Iām not interested" Ava replied.
"You do know I saw you naked in the bathroom, Iāve seen all the girls on the floor naked in the bathroom even the princess, why would you think I want to see your body?"
Ava looked at Roman before thinking about it. It was true Roman had seen her naked, and she didnāt care if he did; she just didnāt want it to lead to something else.
"I know we made a deal, but if at any time you want to back out, just say no and Iāll stop. If I donāt, youāre free to use your magic to make me stop." Roman spoke, and it reassured her a bit.
"So I just need to be naked, would you touch my body?"
"Thatās the reason you need to be naked, but I wonāt touch your intimate parts if youāre concerned about that," Roman replied.
"Why does this feel like a lie? Where did you learn this?"
"If you are not interested, just say the word, Iāll replace the deal with something else. You really think if I want to have sex with you, I would go about it this way?" Roman spoke as he stood up and began walking towards Ava.
Roman stood in front of her and then walked back to his bed, "Have you ever seen a male as handsome as me, If I wanted to have sex with you, youāll be the one begging for it"
"Iāll never beg a male for sex, even if heās as handsome as you are" Ava replied as her hands moved to the button on her top.
"There isnāt a male as handsome as me," Roman replied, and Ava scoffed.
She was still reluctant, but she could stop this anytime she wanted, so that was an assurance. The moment Roman tried anything funny, she would immediately stop; that was in her mind, but of course, she hadnāt met Roman.
Roman couldnāt hold himself back; all he said was just to get her to take off her clothes. First, he was going to give her a massage under the pretence that her body needed it before the actual process, and once she agreed to that, it was already done.
Ava is a virgin and she had no idea how her body would react when drowned in pleasure, but Roman knew all too well about it, even if she wanted to stop her body wouldnāt let her, but of course he wasnāt forcing himself.
Ava finally took off her top; it was taking far too long, but Roman was patient. Then she took off her pants, leaving only black undergarments, and then she took them off.
"Wow, you look beautiful up close" Roman muttered as he stared at her body.
Ava blinked twice as she heard it, sure she knew she was beautiful, but hearing it from a male who was looking at her naked body was different; she had no idea her face was already bright red.
