After everyone finished their breakfast, Vespara and Daisy started to leave.
"Wait, you guys going for training?
"Yes, I will open my shop a little late."
"Can I come with you guys? I don't have anything to do till the gala."
"Sure, why not,"
Aizel left the inn with Vespara and Daisy after saying farewell to the children.
He then followed them as they moved towards the place where they would rent horses.
The group chose their mounts swiftly, ready to leave the city behind. Daisy and Vespara engaged in lively conversation; their eagerness obvious as they prepared for the training.
"Seems like Daisy is really enjoying Vespara's company," Aizel thought.
Aizel's hair whipped around in the wind as he rode alongside the others, his curiosity getting the better of him. "So basically, what are you teaching her?" he inquired.
"Some close combat, perfect use of mana sense, and some control and manipulation over wind magic," Vespara replied.
"Can you teach me anything?" He asked.
He was well aware of Vespara's power, and while he couldn't guess her actual grade, her reputation alone indicated that she was surely over Grade V.
Aizel knew that if he could just learn a thing or two from her, or perhaps duplicate one of her skills, he could tap into his own well of creativity and use it to great advantage in the future.
"Hmm... let me think. You have a lightning and fire core. You are good at close combat.
"You have already good techniques and skills, you have good weapons along with magic artifact.
"The only thing you lack now is your own skill or technique."
"Yes, I tried to think about how I could create my own technique, but I didn't come up with anything good," Aizel replied.
"If you only think without implying or trying in a real battle, you won't succeed."
"So, you are telling me to try to create my own technique while doing battle?"
"Sort of, I can help you with that, but it will all depend on you,"
"Okay."
After another couple of hours of traveling, the group arrived at their training grounds.
Aizel had anticipated a harsh expanse of land, possibly buried in the crags of some tall mountain range, similar to ancient Chinese masters' training grounds or the rigorous sanctuaries of the monkish orders.
However, to his surprise, there was no such dramatic vista in sight.
Instead, a gorgeous waterfall cascaded into a tranquil lake, a scene of surprising beauty that made Aizel wonder if they had arrived at the ideal spot for their training.
"Oi, is this really a training ground?" He asked.
Without wasting any time, Vespara and Daisy dismounted their horses with practiced ease.
Vespara turned her head to face Aizel, and her lips curled into a wide grin. "Yes, this is it," she confirmed.
"First, we are going to do some soul training."
Aizel dismounted his horse and joined Vespara and Daisy as they made their way toward the tranquil lake by the cascading waterfall.
"Does this training make our soul more powerful?" He asked.
"Yes, sort of; there are many mages who can attack directly at your soul with their powers. Having a weak soul might result in your death."
Aizel's thoughts began to wander as he pondered the enigmatic power of souls. He scoured his brain, recalling everything he had seen and read in games, novels, and anime in the hopes of gaining some insight into the soul.
He knew he was not yet capable of harnessing such power at his current stage, as his core would not be able to withstand its immense force.
Nonetheless, he couldn't help but dream of one day tapping into its unfathomable depths.
"So how do we start?" He asked. A little excitement could be seen on his face.
"By getting naked first,"
Vespara began to remove her robe, revealing her curvaceous figure in all its naked glory.
Aizel couldn't help but stare, his gaze drawn to her large breast with its pert, pink nipples and sensuous ass, causing his throat to tighten in a gulp of desire.
"You horny woman, what are you doing?" he replied.
"It's for soul training, Aizel; see, Daisy is also ready. Why are you still wearing clothes? Come on, I won't make fun of your peanut."
Aizel's gaze shifted towards Daisy, who now stood before him, also naked.
Her breasts were not as large as Vespara's, but they were wonderfully formed and had adorable, perky nipples.
Her long golden hair cascaded down her back, highlighting the contours of her perfectly shaped ass, which matched the natural beauty of the waterfall behind her.
Daisy's face flushed with shame as she stood naked in front of Aizel.
"So, it's really for training, damn it."
Aizel began to remove his robe, revealing his perfectly chiseled muscles and toned abs.
Vespara's gaze was drawn to him, attracted by his physical perfection. Daisy couldn't help but look out of the corner of her eye.
Then her's sight drifted downward, and she observed something that was totally different from what she had imagined, prompting her to lick her lips in anticipation.
Her body moved instinctively towards him, drawn in by her desire for him.
"My, my pretty boy, you really hide a monster under your pants. Do you want to try some other training,"
"You old hag, I will leave if you don't behave." he shouted while moving his hand to protect his monster.
"Hehe... Soon I will pop your cheery." She winked as she turned around and made her way towards the waterfall. Daisy quickly followed her.
As Vespara and Daisy walked ahead, their beautiful figures swayed with every step, their curvaceous asses jiggling in perfect harmony with the surrounding beauty of the environment.
"I guess it's not that bad... I mean, the training."
He slapped his cheeks with his hand and shouted, "FOCUS!"
Aizel waded into the lake and joined Vespara and Daisy.
As he got closer, he could feel the temperature of the water, which was neither hot nor cold. They moved closer to the waterfall's edge, instead of heading right for it, where the water was calmer.
