A day went by as if it was nothing and now it is time for me to attend personal training with Angela. I made every preparation I could but should see what her mood was.
Whether those preparations are not needed or sufficient enough, that can only be known after I meet her.
Moreover, there is the topic of hand-to-hand combat training. She only taught Movement Arts and showed some defence positions in order to protect myself. They are not good enough to be registered by the status panel.
In addition to offensive, I need to learn defensive moves. I may have only a few months for that. There is no guarantee that she will continue to be our teacher next year too. So whatever I can learn has to be in these five months.
There is also the seduction part, where can get her to climb my bed.
Thinking about the time frame and the number of things that needed to be done, I am not sure whether that could happen but I have to try. Whether that happens or not, I leave that to the fate.
If it was supposed to, it would. If not, I should try my luck elsewhere, maybe Celine. She looks like an easy target when compared to Angela but I don't have a chance to make that happen with her.
With Angela, I have personal one-on-one training but that won't be possible with Celine.
Anyway, that doesn't matter for now. Let's think that later in the future if the path through Angela closes.

After I woke up, I washed up and got ready. Then I had my breakfast before heading for my training. As usual, she was training by the time I came. I always wondered when would she sleep and do other things. I wonder whether she does other things.
This is the perfect counteract to her. There is no way that she can negate my statement.
"Fine, I'll teach you what you want", she reluctantly agreed.
I don't know why she was reluctant to teach me offensive arts but now she finally relented and agreed to teach me. With these, I should be able to achieve two things that I wanted to.

Ah, finally, the hellish torture was but I can proudly say, Worth It.
Now, I have another art in my status panel, Hand Arts. Through this Art, I can finally have contact with her body. Though it was her hands were the only thing that I could touch today, while she was using them to trash me, I call it progress.
Whether I considered improving my strength or seducing her successively, I took a step forward. Not many steps but a single step. It may appear to be low but as days go by, I am sure to improve on both fronts massively.
I didn't lie to Angela about my training though. I would enter the secret realm after a span of five months and have to survive for a month inside. No one completely knows what exactly is inside. Everyone knows what's available in the outer region and a few details about the inner region but no one knows what lies in the core region.
I want to enter the core region. Only by doing so can I be able to reach peak Tier-4 and also obtain many resources that may be rare or not available in the outside world.
With no data available about the core, I need to be prepared well enough to survive there or everything that I did until now would be for naught.
With how cautious I am, one would think that I am timid. Indeed I am. In order to survive, I don't mind being a timid person. There is nothing wrong.
The dead tell no tales.
