Chapter 186 - Sparring

"Ha!" Irena shouted while swinging her bat. As Albert said earlier, they had to do sparring every day to check their progress. So, everyone wanted to show some progress no matter how small it was.

It also became the reason why Albert asked for a spar everyday. He knew his subordinates' desires to get stronger for him, so he took this opportunity to make them progress even faster.

Albert effortlessly received the hit and waved his left hand. "Bonk Dragon."

A huge Bonk Bat emerged from his hand. Instead of a normal Bonk Bat, it had some sort of patterns on its body.

'What's that? Did someone paint my bat?' Albert widened his eyes, noticing the black lines all over the bat. The middle patterns looked like scales while the ones in the tip looked like a head.

'So, that's a dragon?' Albert muttered inwardly while his eyebrows were twitching. Although it looked like one, the lack of color worsened its appearance. So, he couldn't help but laugh at that miserable dragon.

"Hahaha!" Albert laughed, but still launched the Bonk Dragon forward. Because the Bonk Dragon was a Lightning Spell, the Bonk Bat released a powerful discharge to the surroundings, increasing its intensity.

"Kh." The person that received this attack was none other than Bepe. Instead of avoiding this, Bepe struck the Bonk Bat while releasing his water element.

Normally, he would be electrocuted because of the water, but Bepe had learned his lesson. The water flowed in all directions other than his way, so with the electricity's characteristic, they would follow the water instead of the bat, allowing Bepe to be safe inside his water spell.

He took this attack until the entire bat disappeared.

"Huft." Bepe took a few deep breaths while looking at Albert with a serious expression, saying, "I am sorry that my offensive ability is not up to your standard, but I want to assure you that my defensive ability is the strongest, Master."

Bepe wanted to tell Albert that his ability was to protect his master. As long as he was with his master, he could block any kind of attack.

Even Albert had a smile on his face. It was clear Albert was proud and happy about Bepe's advancement. He had one clear goal, so there was no need for him to comment on it as long as Bepe worked hard toward it.

"Good job." Albert said while stepping forward, gathering the strength from his lower body to his right hand.

"!!!" Irena sensed this surge of strength and tightened her grip before pushing harder. Her job was to stop Albert's movement so that Bepe and Jessie could attack him.

Unfortunately for her, Albert decided to end it by pushing her back. However, this was the time Jessie appeared.

Unlike Irena and Bepe, Jessie always disappeared from the house whenever there was a training session. He always told them he was practicing to get something good.

But as expected, Jessie turned out to be learning Charm Spell from the brothel.

Jessie's figure appeared next to him, hugging Albert's left arm while saying coquettishly, "Master. Jessie always admires you… If only Master pays more attention—"

Albert felt chills down to his spine when he saw Jessie clinging to him. Although he expected Jessie to be able to do this in the future, he never thought Jessie would use this kind of attack on him.

If it was any other person, they would be distracted. However, this wouldn't be effective against Albert, especially because Albert knew Jessie's gender.

Before he could finish his sentence, Albert already made a full swing, pushing Irena and bonking Jessie with his bat.

Unexpectedly, the Jessie on his arm turned out to be a fake. The moment the bonk bat touched him, it disappeared into thin air.

The real Jessie emerged from the other side with his bonk bat.

"With this position, Master can't make another swing to stop me." Jessie smirked while breathing heavily. "Master said you will grant us something if we win… I think this is the time to fulfill your promise."

"Is that so?" A smirk also planted on Albert's face. The situation might be as Jessie said, but it didn't mean there was nothing he could do.

Instead of turning his body over, he rotated his wrist so that the Bonk Bat hit the ground.

Bonkquake.

The ground around them started shaking as if there was an earthquake that hit them.

"!!!" Jessie swayed left and right and gritted his teeth. With his determination, he took one last step and poured all his power into that one so that he could reach Albert in one single leap.

The moment he arrived, Jessie waved his bat while smiling, "I win this time, Master."

"Really?" Albert chuckled as his body released a powerful aura.

"What is this?" Jessie widened his eyes as he'd never seen this kind of power from Albert. "It is repelling me?"

"I have determined you are horny." Albert stated as his aura exploded.

Bonk Intent Release.

Jessie's expression changed to panic as he put his bonk bat forward, preparing for Albert's attack. At the same time, he shouted, "This is not over, Master. I still have another trump card!"

Suddenly, a huge Magic Circle appeared on top of their heads and released numerous Bonk Bats like that of a rain.

This was Bonk Rain Spell Albert taught Jessie. It seemed he planned to use this to suppress Albert while creating an opportunity to attack.

"Haha." Albert chuckled once again as another Magic Circle emerged beneath Jessie. "You think so, Jessie?"

Jessie widened his eyes and looked down, finding the magic circle for Bonk Restrain. The black tentacles circled around his body, preparing to capture him.

However, Jessie had predicted this would happen, so he prepared to spin his body around to smack these tentacles.

"Do you think I can't handle this?"

"I know you can handle those tentacles. So, I prepared another thing…" Albert suddenly vanished from his position.

This was Albert's new spell, Anti-Horny Blink. The spell teleported Albert to his Bonking Target. And he chose to appear on top of Jessie.

With the Bonk Intent Aura shrouding him, Albert hit Jessie lightly as the Bonk Intent exploded once again, increasing the power of bonk.

"Gah!" The hit knocked Jessie to the ground as Albert sat playfully on top of Jessie's back to restrain him so that the tentacles could capture Jessie on the ground.

"I win." Albert smirked and looked at Irena and Bepe. "Do you want to continue?"

"We want to, but we have never seen those two skills… I'm afraid we won't be able to win with our original plan." Bepe shook his head.

"Not going to improvise?"

"If we can defeat Master with just improvisation, we would have defeated you long ago." Irena also gave up and dropped to the ground.

"Well, you all have improved so much in the past month." Albert smirked. "You managed to make me use most of my skills today."

"Most…" Bepe and Irena exchanged looks with a troubled expression, knowing they might not be able to defeat Albert. After all, their master could simply learn more spells.

"Still, Jessie is the one who has improved the most. I can feel your confidence right now… To think Jessie was a super timid person previously." Albert laughed while teasing Jessie.

"Ugh." Jessie looked down as he felt embarrassed imagining his past self. "Thanks to Master. I have gained this confidence."

"I'm glad." Albert smiled. "To think you would use your charm spell first to put me in that situation before attacking me personally… You even prepared a backup plan which is that Bonk Rain Spell. I panicked for a second there."

"But Master didn't even flinch." Jessie pouted before he tried to fight back against Albert. "Though, this treatment is good, Master."

"What treatment?" Albert lowered his vision and realized he was sitting on Jessie's back to restrain him.

"Ah!" Albert immediately rose and stepped back. "Sorry. I forgot."

"It's fine. You can do even more. Jessie will do his best for you." Jessie waved his butts left and right.

"I'm straight, Jessie."

"I wonder if there's a gender transformation spell…"

"…" Albert's eyebrows twitched as he asked one important question. "Are you horny? Is that even possible?"

"I'm on the borderline of horny. At first, I was forcing all those acts, but now everything felt natural. I believe this is my strongest fighting style. I can use these lewd acts and charm spells to make the enemy horny and use my bonk to defeat them." Jessie explained his current situation.

"I see. As expected, my eyes weren't wrong." Albert nodded with a smile. "Still, with Bepe's fighting style, shouldn't you be the one stopping me? Irena can use her agility to distract me and eventually hit me."

"We have tried that, Master. However, Bepe's movement is kinda rough, so it's easy for you to slip away from him. If Shella or His Highness Yale is here, the plan would work even better." Irena replied.

"I see." Albert nodded in understanding. "Well, Shella is improving in her own way. Also, I will be able to get Horny Bat soon."

"Horny Bat?"

"Yeah. It's a bat that can make someone's horny when you hit them." Albert nodded.

"That sounds illegal." Irena furrowed her eyebrows.

"Wait. Does that mean my fighting style is useless now?" Jessie's face became pale. He realized this Horny Bat would endanger his existence.

"Nah. You don't think everyone can be easily charmed, right? What if they injure themselves just not to be charmed?"

"So, you can use this bat?" Jessie's expression brightened. He thought this bat might be able to perfect his fighting style. At the same time, he also noticed another thing. "But can we become horny? In that case, can we hide ourselves in Horny Jail if necessary?"

"Yep. That's possible. Good job in noticing that." Albert gave a thumbs up.. "Anyway, our progress will speed up from this point onward."
