The Making Of A Strong Little Girl

"There is absolutely no need for you to prostrate before me. We aren't even that far apart in age. But I do accept your sentiment. Get up, greet your little senior," Heian Ciemnosc said calmly. Pou's body flinched before slowly rising up. She lifted her chin to reveal her brown-honeyed eyes looking at him and said with respect glowing across them. "Understood. I am truly grateful for your guidance, Sir, assigned supervisor. I know this might be too early, but I can only believe."

“That is fine, Pou. Come over and sit beside her.” Heian Ciemnosc stood up and nodded. Pou bowed again before walking over to sit beside the little royal princess. Just as she sat and turned to look at her, Pou felt her Soul and body locked, and her Spirit Sense was like a worm caught in a bullfrog’s mouth. She widened her eyes and intensely shrunk her pupils and irises as she tried to forcibly turn to look at Heian Ciemnosc.

“This is something I can use in an instant. You are not supposed to protect Blauw Ishikyy, but as long as you don’t try any possible thing, you will come here to learn for a year or 2, depending on your performance and my mood throughout this time.” Heian Ciemnosc spoke calmly, not showing any hostility. All Pou could do was show her wonderfully beautiful face twist in terror. Finally, Heian Ciemnosc let her go, and she felt her body and Soul back to her senses.

“Kuh! Aah- huff, huff! Assigned supervisor, I won’t waste your time, and more so… I won’t harm the little royal princess, much less the Blauw Empire… These are my Master’s orders, and I understand them… I abide by them.” Pou fell head-on against the floor, barely catching her forehead with her left forearm to protect it from direct damage. Right now, she felt like her body would break if it landed ‘slightly’ harshly against the ground.

“Oh? Mn, that’s acceptable. Sit back down. I’ll start after you tell me your insights into the Water element,” Heian Ciemnosc said. He looked at Little Ish, and the pouty, clever little girl’s bright eyes showed enlightenment as she faced Pou and helped her with her left hand, grabbing the young lady’s right arm. Pou’s exhausted, flaccid face looked at the little girl with curly blonde strands on her face before lightly saying, “Thank you, Little Miss. I am fine. This is something to be expected. I was your people’s enemy just a few years ago…”

“I understand, but you’re like my classmate right now,” the little girl cutely blinked her eyes before staring up at her personal Imperial Teacher. “And the ‘Sir, assigned supervisor’ here has told me that infighting was one of the worst crimes one could commit in the Wrath Nihility Academy. Rivalry and competition are different, but they are good for progressing and facing one’s demons, one way or another. However, I’m some realms below you. I can only treat you as an equal.”

“Mmn,” Pou was slightly baffled by the 12 year old girly. She dazedly looked at the cutest face she had seen. Her meaty, large lips opened to softly utter, “Then, I am grateful. Will this be enough of a reward for… appeasing me?”

“Wooh!” Little Ish saw Pou grab a collar from under her armor. She briefly noticed a pair of twinkles from a sphere-like ornament. Pou pulled from it and presented her right palm to Little Ish. The little girl looked at half a sphere, wholly egyptian, light blue color with part of Pou’s collar still attached to it. She quickly looked at Pou’s neck and found that her half still hung from her neck. Little Ish took it with her fingers before immediately looking at Heian Ciemnosc.

“...” Heian Ciemnosc nodded, and the little girl victoriously grinned from the left corner of her mouth before placing it around her. She had already noticed it was a collar of two. Its strings were made so they could immediately break apart without getting damaged. Feeling like they now shared a beautiful item like this, Little Ish felt content when she felt the strings connect and the light blue sphere hanging from her neck.

“Hello, my name is Blauw Ishikyy, the rising Blauw Empire’s little royal princess!” After Little Ish finished playing with it with her fingers, she extended her right hand to shake it with Pou’s. Pou’s eyes opened fully before she smoothly lifted her right hand too, and said before shaking hands with the little lass. “I am Pou, just that. I was born in the night, inside a forest, with my mother being eaten by wolves. When my Master found me, I was bathing in her blood for different reasons than giving birth to me. Master only detected me and my talent as I was coming out.”

“I remember the sounds of exploding bodies, which might have been the wolves, as I met this world for the first time.” Pou grinned after she spoke all this. Looking at Little Ish’s ‘OoO’ face, she hummed a little before facing Heian Ciemnosc with a straight back and a stern expression. Little Ish’s eyes showed contemplation before nodding to herself. Heian Ciemnosc set his darkest eyes on Pou, and she picked up the clue. She began explaining her experiences and showing him her mastery of summoning the Water elemental particles.

Once they were done, Heian Ciemnosc nodded at them and looked down with his eyes narrowed. He gave the impression he was contemplating how to follow next as Pou and Little Ish looked at each other again, and the latter’s face brightened as an idea emerged from her little head. She extended her right hand and summoned the Water particles to cross through the air and land on her cinnamon skin. It traversed her upper arm and went down to her forearm.

Splush. The Water particles formed 3 big droplets that ascended into the air as Little Ish turned her wrist around to face skywards. When her palm was fully extended and with her fingers put together, it formed into a water ball. Heian Ciemnosc looked at it and paused the instructions he was just about to explain to them. Pou also looked at Little Ish’s water ball, which was slightly less trembling than before, and everything else, its color and consistency, were the same as the one the little girl demonstrated to her personal Imperial Teacher.

“Mn! You can do them as well?” Pou showed excitement. Her eyes glowed with thrill as she became slightly hectic. Her left hand extended before them as Water particles danced around her wrists. Little Ish looked on with interest as the droplets divided when they reached Pou’s elbow and became 9 big droplets that ascended when they arrived at her hand’s reach. Like that, 3 stable, threatening water balls hovered above her palm under Little Ish’s incredulous eyes.

“I enjoy practicing whenever I can. I usually do it alone because everyone else uses Light, Wind, or both as much as possible.” Pou said, looking at Little Ish’s face before setting her eyes on the 3 water balls. Little Ish’s water ball had already deformed and wetted the ground at the side, with Little Ish’s eyes becoming vacant. Pou seemed to sense something and returned to look at the little girl before asking, “Ah… how long have you trained?”

“Less than a month, but… how long have you been training?” Little Ish couldn’t resist, and even less wait, as she impatiently asked Pou. Pou blinked, then opened her lips, but paused for 2 silent seconds before finally answering. “More than ten years?”

Little Ish: “...”

“Owh,” the little girl lowly exclaimed before dropping her head and shoulders. She faced the other way and made Pou perplexed. Before long, Pou blinked in understanding and placed her hands around Little Ish’s shoulders. “It’s… it’s alright, right? You’ve made great progress and even have a personal Water elemental teacher to guide you. You’ll catch up to me real fast.”

“But he is guiding you too, now. I’m gonna be left behind!” Little Ish pouted and sobbingly said, adding to her previous distress over being left alone by her teacher in the jungle. Pou was visibly stricken, but she didn’t know how to continue until something came up in her brain. She gulped down before letting her utmost soft voice reach the little girl’s ears. “Then you have to try harder. I’m sure that, as an Azure Dragon’s descendant, you can do much better than anyone else in the world regarding the Water element.”

“Really?” Little Ish lifted her head and asked, looking for comfort. Pou knew not to feed her too much and simply nodded. “Except for a Special Body Lotus, the Azure Dragon’s descendants are unsurpassable.”

“Boohoo, okay… but… It is Azure Dragon’s Bloodline, not descendants.” Little Ish rubbed her eyes clean before correcting Pou. Her words left Pou slightly tilting her head to the right, but Pou understood it quickly and nodded. Right then, Heian Ciemnosc spoke out. His voice immediately made the girls focus on him, facing him like the respectful teacher he is and will be to them. “Enough chit-chat. Listen to me. Since you haven’t received previous knowledge and training, we will start with di-methods for practicing.”

“Since you might not understand it first, you’ll cooperate to make water flow through you. Don’t give it too much thought before hearing my instructions, now…” Heian Ciemnosc began explaining to the girls what they were about to do. Slowly but surely, Heian Ciemnosc had both girls cooperate to create a water loop. They had to keep it flowing without a single ripple or protrusion, deforming the loop that formed a square with circular borders connecting with their arms.

Afterwards, the girls shared the water loop to thinly cover their bodies with the water loop. They had to remain like this without breaking the ‘barrier’ around them. It was heavy work, considering they failed to maintain the water loop’s consistency and shape for a couple of hours in the beginning. Thus, when they had to control a larger area, all around their bodies, and to such a fine degree, they couldn’t do it for the first day.

… After Pou left, with a sternly serious bow towards Heian Ciemnosc and bidding farewell to the little girl, the personal Imperial Teacher and little apprentice were left alone in the jungle. Pou walked a few minutes before a Fighter came to pick her up. On the other hand, Heian Ciemnosc and Little Ish sat down cross-legged and cultivated while Heian Ciemnosc instructed the little girl about his survival tips.

Heian Ciemnosc also made a few demonstrations as they walked around the designated borders he set for Little Ish and even showed her a map so she could identify her whereabouts and where she should stop and go back, or she might face death immediately. After she understood where she could walk and where to run away from, they returned to the spot from before.

Step, step, step. When the little girl walked back and saw where she learned under Heian Ciemnosc with Pou, she felt a little melancholic. However, she didn’t have time to think about it as Heian Ciemnosc walked over with his Ornament just a meter above him and a sort of thick cloth under his right armpit. Little Ish tilted her head and looked confused before Heian Ciemnosc explained.

“Which one do you prefer? To sleep on the ground, but in the Ornament… or should I pitch up a tent for us?” Heian Ciemnosc pointed at the innocent Ornament and shrugged his right shoulder as he spoke. Little Ish looked poutingly at his pale face before directing her discontent at the poor Ornament. Then, she looked at the ground, thought of something, pointed at it with her right index finger, and then pointed at the thick cloth in Heian Ciemnosc’s right arm.

“Pitch a tent, here, here!” Little Ish declared. Since the little lady had spoken, Heian Ciemnosc shrugged and walked over while stationing his Ornament in midair, activating its gravity array formations so it wouldn’t consume Neutral Energy Stones, and began pitching the tent. The little royal princess pressed her hands on her hips and watched the evil, pale man work. When it was finally done, an area of 26 square meters had dark cloth as its base, and a 3 meters tall tent for 10 people to sleep in had been built.

There was even a little kitchen on another tent behind the sleeping tent and a couple more for keeping some stuff out. Not many cultivators needed it. But when traveling in an army or patrolling. It would be pretty useful since the Blauw Empire now incorporated citizens into nearly every cultivator military unit. However, as soon as it was all over, a little figure rushed inside and made some mess before settling down.

Heian Ciemnosc entered the sleeping tent after a little while with a few dishes in his Covert Space bags, only to see a monstrous little girl lying in the middle with all the sleeping bags made into a bigger one. She occupied less than ⅕ of the bigger sleeping bag, but she was all content with her Universal Conveyance on and playing Mini Warlord in the screen mode. Heian Ciemnosc walked over and made the little rat sit up and start eating while struggling against an opponent in a ranked.

Heian Ciemnosc watched over the battle. It was a player who wanted to prolong as much as possible, taking advantage of the speed of its cavalry to skirmish, lure, and slowly dwindle Little Ish’s forces. Heian Ciemnosc didn’t want to backseat her since the last time he did, and she barely managed to win. She had bit his wrists for 2 hours straight. She then received her spanking… and it was a long one as well, but it wasn’t that nice…

“Why are you letting them do as they want? You’re my little apprentice. You can’t lose in ranked against scum like him! What are you waiting for?” Thus, that was all Heian Ciemnosc could say… but it worked. The little girl raged. Her blue blush showed how infuriated she was... because it was true! She was her personal Imperial Teacher’s little apprentice. How could she fail to destroy a cowardly opponent like this? Rawr!

“Hyugaaaaaaaahhhhh!” The little girl sweated and danced her aquamarine, azure bright eyebrows until she finally found an opening and struck the opponent’s cavalry at a timely point! Her thousands of heavy infantry rushed in between the charging cavalry and those already fighting. Disrupting the coordination, the opponent didn’t have enough time to respond as their cavalry was swiftly taken down, not so little by little.

But Little Ish was losing troops as well, but the opponent’s losses were about 7 to 1. In the end, the little raging girl let out a victorious howl before throwing herself backwards on her personal Imperial Teacher’s left chest. Her head was entirely thrown backwards, and her neck looked about to break, but her eyes were half-opened, and in them showed how tired she had become.

“I did it, teacher… I beat this bastard’s ass,” she said without worrying about her crudeness. Heian Ciemnosc also didn’t bother, nor did he note it down the list of reasons to spank her. It was fine. She could vent now. Heian Ciemnosc kept silent and brought another bowl of rice, fish, and blood sauce mixed in before her neck. The still brightest, cutest aquamarine, azure eyes looking at him, half opened, shrunk its pupils a little as the scent smeared all over her nostrils and mouth. She lowered her chin and faced a delicacy waiting to be violated.

“HAGH, gnawm gnam gnam… NOOOOM…” Little Ish started eating everything. She didn’t notice her fangs were out, but Heian Ciemnosc didn’t bother her. He had to admit, players like that opponent the little girl faced were fucking disgusting. Beating them wasn’t satisfactory, only humiliating them, but she had lost too many troops to attempt something. And what was worse is that she realized it too late and nearly lost the battle.

“... Want to play with me?” After shaking his head and feeling the little girl’s teeth accidentally graze and bite him at times, Heian Ciemnosc said while sending the cookware outside the sleeping tent with his dark Neutral Energy, safely and without breaking them into the little kitchen tent. Little Ish bemoaned and grunted while accommodating her little body between the bigger sleeping bag and Heian Ciemnosc’s cozy, formidable body.

“Yeah, sure… I’m sweepy, but I wanna play, too… And when the days are over, I want you to pitch tents left and right, everywhere I see and point to! And, and, and…. We’ll play 1v1 before sleeping nonstop. You hear me? We can play online… and… show each other some moves and teach the annoying ones how to play! But only once or twice…” The little girl said, already envisioning the future, before taking her Universal Conveyance out despite having closed it with frustration just a few minutes ago.

“Come on! I want to play, play, play, plaaaay~...” Little Ish urged Heian Ciemnosc, even grabbing his right arm and lifting it, failing to do so by much, as it fell and heavily landed on the floor. After a few attempts, she bombarded him with notifications until he finished eating his bowl of roasted Human skin and entered Mini Warlord with the screen mode already on. Nobody would virtually enter the world in the outside, where they weren’t absolutely safe.

With her back against his upper body and the rest on the sleeping bag’s comfy cushioning, the little girl started playing against him. After challenging him last night and knowing it was purely impossible to beat him, she no longer tried her best tactics and plans. Instead, she started experimenting with every troop type she was given. Sometimes, she even separated them by profession, moving them in different strategies, and attacked his forces randomly.

As a result, Heian Ciemnosc noticed how the battles were extended by a couple minutes when the little girl had no more energy to continue facing him. Despite not taking him seriously, she managed to resist for more and more time against him, who had never lost a match before. Because of this, after the little girl fell asleep cozying up to his body and using him as her pillow, bed, bedsheets, and fluffy toys, he meditated upon this experience.

. . .

At night, already the next day, even before early in the morning, Heian Ciemnosc suddenly opened his eyes, stopping his meditation.

Rustle- whoosh!

Just as a sound came from the bushes, Heian Ciemnosc’s body disappeared from the sleeping bag. Although Little Ish was slammed against the ground after he disappeared, and dark energy softly lay her down, latching onto her from the front and back as she kept a semi-fetal position, she still opened her eyes a second after Heian Ciemnosc’s body disappeared from the sleeping tent. She stood up and followed his scent as her Spirit Sense had long lost him.

Step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step… step.

Little Ish stopped after arriving far deep into the jungle, where a spot free of trees and water, like a mini prairie in the middle of the jungle, was decorated by a massive, long body clutched by a tiny figure in comparison… to his left, pale hand.
