While her words could be considered a little harsh, they were true nonetheless. With all the fighting I done today, being sweaty was a must!
Taking my shoes off, I moved just a few steps in, entering a shallow pool with warm water, deep just enough to reach for my ankles. From how my feet instantly relaxed under the influence of the liquid, the water had to be enriched with some kind of herbs that I have never heard about before.
\"Girls! Come help my new disciple!\"
Before I could move any deeper into the pool, Monica called out to the other guests of this enormous bath, instantly summoning a bunch of naked girls, that surrounded me from all sides, helping me to take all my clothes out. With how they didn't bother with taking them off properly but instead just tore them out of me, I could only assume that I would be gifted a new set of robes later on.
Lead deeper into the pool while surrounded by more alluring bodies than I could count, I was forcibly sat on a simple stool in the deeper part of the bath, only for the same group of girls to kneel all around me, before cupping their hands in a bowl, taking the water from the bath and splashing it against my body!
\"Don't worry, they won't bother you more than necessary to get you all cleaned up… for now.\"
Already fully naked, Monica sat right beside me, enjoying the same treatment as me, while stretching her long legs forward and allowing some other girls to instantly jump into massaging them. Torn between watching my teacher's body and sating my inner curiosity with the bodies of the girls all around me, I settled with just closing my eyes, stretching myself out in a similar manner to my teacher and just enjoying my treatment.
With the countless, delicate hands busying themselves with washing the dirt off my body only to move on into massaging it, I could claim that I have finally reached the real heaven. Before long, instead of water, my body was rubbed with a set of strange oils, instantly heating up my skin.
\"How do you like it, so far?\"
After allowing myself to drow in the luxury for a long while, my teacher forced me out of my daze with her words. Opening my eyes, I could see her entire, beautiful body standing right in front of my eyes, with her legs opening up just enough to allow her to stand right above my knees without actually allowing our skin to touch.
\"It's quite nice.\"
\"I see that you are clean and ready now. Let's move to the next stage.\"
Grabbing my hand, Monica moved to the side to allow me to stand up without crashing into her body, before pulling me even deeper into the room. After passing through a long distance of this shallow pool, I finally could climb the stairs and step on the relatively hard ground, albeit still moist from all the vapour present in the scene.
Looking to my left side, I could see how the pool turned from a shallow one into a properly deep one, allowing both myself in my imagination and countless real girls to swim and play in it.
Yet Monica didn't give me a chance to enjoy myself in the water like a small kid, pulling me even deeper instead. As we moved closer to the core of the mountain, the heat and thickness of the fog only continue to increase, slowly making it hard for me to even breathe through it.
While I could simply unlock the seal on my statistics and push this problem completely aside, I didn't know whether this was yet another test prepared by my teacher to gauge my strength. In the end, just before the breathing would turn into a real challenge, Monica must've noticed my struggle, changing her direction to the side and making us enter a small chamber.
Looking around, I couldn't see any discernable features in this room, outside of yet another circle carved in the tiles making up the floor. But while I scanned it with my energy vision, there wasn't any sign of activity coming from it, so I just decided to disregard my worried for now.
\"Teacher?\"
While everything happening around was something new for me, my innate abilities allowed me to disregard all my worries… But that wasn't the case for the character I was playing as. If I just allowed my teacher to do as she wished without even a hint of uncertainty, she could either think I'm a pure idiot or a naive idiot.
\"Don't worry and lie down. You still need to be cleaned up, this time, internally. So just don't worry and enjoy the treatment. The herbs that we will use now are really expensive, so don't waste any of it!\"
With a snap of her fingers, yet another group of young females entered the chamber, moving around as if the dense fog didn't obstruct their views or movements at all. Following Monica's order, I laid down on my back, only to be instantly turned around by the gentle hands of those girls, before they started smearing some sort of substance into my skin.
*Bonger, any words of advice?*
While Monica claimed those herbs to be expensive, in fact, I had no idea whether she was just attempting to reward me or infuse me with a potent poison that could potentially allow her to control me fully later on.
\"Don't worry. From what I see, those herbs seem to have rich energy in them. Remember that time when you attempted to replicate the cultivation of Overlord? If you try it now, not only it will be far easier, but the side effects won't be even close to being as tragic as what we learned back then.\"
Calmed down by Bonger's words, I relaxed and allowed the army of hands to massage me, while applying this strange concoction in my skin, only to turn me back on my back a moment later. With their hands moving all around my body, I could even notice some of the more bold girls courageously reaching for my erect penis, and smearing it all with that strange pasta in a way that rather than applying a healing ointment seemed like outright handjob!
Unsure whether this was what Monica had in mind, I broke through the wave upon wave of relaxation that all those hands were inducing in me with the intention of taking a look at my teacher's face, only to see yet another group of girls doing exactly the same to her.
And surely, two of them were completely busy with making sure that every single part of her sweet garden was properly covered with that expensive herbal pasta as well! At this point, I felt like a pervert, watching his friend masturbated by a bunch of naked whores while allowing yet another group to apply the same treatment to myself!
Just as I was about to speak up in order to clarify what was actually going on, Monica finally opened her eyes and chased all the girls away with just a single wave of her hand. Standing up from her stool, she moved closer only to stand right above my abdomen with the same mischievous smile that I saw on her face before we entered this sauna-like place.
\"I told you that I will help you cultivate so you can regain your energy. Are you ready?\"
After allowing me to stare at her gaping hole for a moment, oozing both the herbal pasta that was smeared into it and her own juices, Monica lowered her hips, kneeling down above my hips. As soon as I attempted to raise my hands and reach for her breast, luring me out aking to the most powerful trap in the world, I realised that there was some kind of force field holding my entire body down on the ground, with just enough strength for my limited power to be unable to overcome.
\"Don't struggle. If you want me fully to yourself, you need to make sure I will advance to the next level, by reaching the dark blue robes under my guidance. Up to this point, you will have to do with this!\"
Placing her own hands on top of my chest, she moved her hips around to make sure my penis was in a right position, before pushing herself down on me!
