Chapter 77 Relaxing Bath - Part 1

The nights in the Selection Academy were much more crowded with each day of studying but that night was extremely calm. Every student decided to have a good night's sleep in preparation for the early finals. Even if one didn't participate, it was still an event worth watching.

Only two girls were occupying the Soul Training Rooms and sparred with each other to further improve their skills.

"Why did you join me in training tonight?" Luna questioned as she took a breather to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "Don't you usually just spend the night with Number One?"

Nami laid down on the floor of the 50th room and smiled, "Why? I'm just making sure you are not slacking. You can easily kill Soul Beasts but humans are much harder to kill."

"Tsk, you are getting cocky after just grazing me once," Luna snickered and canceled her Soul Sword as she joined Nami's side. "I think we trained enough today. It should be morning soon."

Nami seemed like she was waiting for those words as her own Black Soul Sword vanished right after. She began learning from Luna right after she mastered Soul Vision for Number One and began studying swordsmanship. It went surprisingly well but even after two weeks, she was unable to defeat her teacher.

"I've only trained for two weeks. Of course, I will be weaker than you," Nami replied with a sigh and lifted her body. "I will be satisfied if I can be as good as you one day."

Nami wasn't delusional to think she can achieve the same mastery as someone who was studying for years but Luna kept her optimistic. "You are already doing well for a beginner. I can tell you have potential or else I wouldn't be training you. I can teach you a few Sword Soul Arts after we finish with the basics."

"Thank you," Nami acknowledged sweetly and rotated her body to collapse on Luna's chest. "You have really soft boobies, you know that?"

"Yes, you say that every day after your body can't move anymore," Luna muttered with an eye roll. "You are all sweaty so get off me."

The two grew quite close after constantly training together and Nami stopped pretending to be innocent. Her perverted nature was obvious by how open she was with physical contact.

"Let's get a shower then," Nami suggested as she forced herself to stand up. "Come, it will be fun."

"What do you mean?" Luna accepted Nami's hand to pull herself up and guessed, "You want to shower together?"

"Oh, you want to? Alright then. Since you are offering, I guess I can't refuse you," Nami replied happily and pulled Luna out of the training room.

"No, I was just asking what you want..." Luna corrected herself but it was already too late.

"I don't mind if we shower together. It's a good way to bond with each other," Nami said happily as if she was following Luna's idea and suggested, "We can do it in our room too. We can even use the bathtub which is much bigger and can fit multiple people. Number One should still be asleep but he won't wake up even if we are near him. He is a heavy sleeper."

Headmaster Blake was kind enough to connect two student rooms into a suite and even upgraded their bathroom. Number One was his heavy favorite so it was an easy decision for him.

"Then we can just go to my room," Luna countered with a suspicious gaze. "Are you hoping he will wake up and join us? I already told you that I don't want us to be awkward in the future. I don't want to make the same mistake again."

Nami only pursed her lips. "Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Even if he wakes up, we will notice if he comes into the bathroom. I can always warn him that you are with me."

Luna was still undecided but Nami continued to drag her with hidden energy she pulled out of nowhere. It was hard to reject Nami when one was really tired after a few hours of training and a bath sounded like a dream too.

"See? He is still soundly asleep," Nami pointed out as they reached their room and saw Number One lying on his bed. "Let's enjoy ourselves until he wakes up."

"I'm only going to stay for a little while," Luna announced early. "I won't wait until he catches us naked. You are free to do whatever once I'm gone."

"Sure, sure," Nami nodded excitedly and started stripping on the spot with no shame. Luna only managed to raise her eyes as her whole top was gone in one single motion.

"Did you practice it to undress quicker?" Luna commented speechlessly and gazed at Number One's face as if to check if he was awake. "You two are both perverts. You won't change my mind."

Nami only shrugged with a smile and teased, "Is there something wrong with showing love through physical touch? You were enjoying it last time too so you must be a pervert too."

Luna blushed and walked into the bathroom without starting an argument. She knew Nami would start a topic she didn't want to move again.

"Ah, I'm finally done," Number One announced as he opened his eyes and stretched his body. He has spent so many hours making pills that his body was already stiff.

Number One's gaze scanned the room and he raised his eyebrows at the steam coming out of the bathroom. It just so happened that he needed a bath to relax so Nami had perfect timing. He got up from the bed while taking off his clothes and sneaked into the bathroom without any warning.

A female silhouette was visible through the steam as she sat at the edge of the bath so Number One sneaked up to her from behind. Nami shuddered when he suddenly grasped her shoulders but she relaxed when he started massaging her back. 'I'm finally done. Hope you didn't miss me too much.'

Number One saw no reaction to his message as if Nami was upset he took so long to wake up. He only smiled and reached down her chest to massage the front as well. To his surprise, the feel of her breasts was much different and she immediately grasped his wrists with a strong grip.

"Haven't you groped them enough already? Did you find new towels for us?"
