----Day 36----

Akira and Hina went to the city.

"Welcome dear customers" The reception lady of the beauty salon said to the entering duo

"Good day. We are here today for some family bonding time!" Hina announced

"What would you and your sister like from our lists of services?" The receptionist pointed a large board of various beautifying procedures.

"fufufu a sister..." Hina was delighted from the compliment

"She is my mother" Akira cleared the situation pointing at Hina

A look of total disbelief was shown on the receptionist's face.

"Oh, Is that so?! I would have never guessed that" she contemplated.

"We would like the "full beauty package"! Hina pointed at the board. You see my little sister here, Akira Chan really needs that, as she never pays a proper attention to her looks" Hina.

"Okasa!" Akira

"All right ladies first to the hair stylist, then the face care then..." The receptionist led them to the first part of the establishment. What happened was 3 hours of horrors for the poor Akira. She felt like a sheep passed from one butcher to another. She was thrown from one place to another -cutting hair, face masks, eyebrows and eyelashes care. Then to a full body epilation. Akira was screaming and sweating from the torment, especially when those torturers started the intimate hair removal. At the end she was more mentally exhausted than the Hive dive but her body was in a top condition for visiting the beach....

"Oh what is that gloomy look dear? You look stunningly beautiful! FUFUFU" Hina was examining the masterpiece work of the saloon employees: A

"This was horrible, okasa. How can a woman endure such a torment!! And that compliment of yours doesn't make it any better" Akira pouted frowning.

"Oh come on! It was that bad because you left the things unattended for so long. Last stop - massage studio! You will feel better after, I promise" Hina grabbed Akira's hand and dragged her out".

They entered a body massage studio next. There they were prompted to undress down to their undies. Only a towel was covering their modesty.

The studio receptionist invited them into a well decorated room with plants and artwork. The aroma candles and subtle music in the background make it look like a 5 star resort experience.

"Please lay on those massage stands and our employees will attend shortly after" said the receptionist and left.

The relaxing atmosphere and soft music made the exhausted mind of Akira relax and she soon was half asleep. Soon the full body massage started. From her neck to her back and then the limbs. It felt so good and comfortable under the skilled hands of the masseurs.

At the end Akira was moaning from delight. 

"Ahh it is so good"

"fuffu I told you will like it. It is your reward for enduring those things in the salon!" Hina

Both mother and daughter were chatting for trivial things and enjoyed the time together. Akira thought that it is not that bad being a woman after all.

"So how did you like it?" Hina

"I liked the massage, the other things not so much. They were worse than a a hive mind's curses!" Akira

"Oh come on dear, It is a thing that every woman needs to get used to!" Hina

Akira's face was a picture of pure horror.

"fuffu let's go home!" Hina called a taxi

 day 38

Kornelius and the entire delegation of Sopura kingdom arrived safely at the capital

They were escorted by the royal knights to the palace where would be the his new residence and laboratory promised by the Kingdom. 

"Here is your new accommodation Sir, please call for anything you need. Me and my colleagues will be available 24/7" The palace maid bowed and left

Kornelius found himself in a luxurious room almost as big as his previous lab. He was not used to this kind of treatment. Not at all. It was too shiny, to expensive and too clean.  He could not find a single speck of dust no matter how much he looked for. The travel had exhausted him. Too many changes for too short time, too many new people. The only thing that kept him pushing on was the fact that he will get a new lab and great salary. He will be able to work better, faster. He will be able to help Akira...

---War council Sopura kingdom---

Arthur listened to the regular reports of the commanding officers.

....

"Now we will hear the report of Major Foxx who had just returned from Paradise prime with some good news"

"Major if you please" Arthur

"Ahmm" Foxx stood up and cleared her throat

"After long and grueling process of investigation we have located or first lead...."

Major Foxx ended her detailed report of the entire situation.

"Any questions" Foxx

An avalanche of questions erupted and pressed her on her seat.

"Order please... General Hobs you begin" The king intervened and restored order

"How do you asses the combat potential of this prototype class?" Hobs

"Based on my first impressions, it has very high potential on par with the other 5 hero classes. It is specialized at exterminating demons. Its ultimate and unique ability to steal demons essence converting it to attributes points was previously believed to be impossible" Foxx

"Can we implement the class  into our ranks" another one asked

"I may be able to answer that question" said the Minister of education. The Exorcist being unregistered class means that once the ]unified system] makes contact with it via a Nexus  will block it.  The Exorcist class will be put on hold, until the prototype completes the integration and approval procedures. And that dear friends takes years and even decades" finished the Minister of education

"So that is the reason Mr Kornelius decided to test his prototype on Terra. There are no Nexuses on the demon controlled worlds" another officer concluded

"What are your impressions for Ms and Mrs Ryu. Do you think they are reliable? General Stoks 

"Ms Ryu or Akira is extremely resourceful and intelligent person. I would say the same for her mother Hina. They both had and are currently doing outstanding feats and accomplishments in a hostile environment" Foxx

"Those feats you mention include actions which are frowned by FOL's doctrine and code of honor" another officer added.

"We are here to judge the impact of situation and the possible outcomes to our agenda. We will not be condemning or judging Akira's actions so far." King Arthur "Additionally they are not even enlisted in FOL, so they are to be considered civilians"

"The intel of what Voldemort is doing and plans to achieve in Terra is quite disturbing. This way of growing additional troops is revolting, but more important it is very efficient. The situation in Terra must be resolved one way or another before it goes out of control" General Stoks

"Are you suggesting that we kill all those people in Terra?" One of the council looked horrified

"If the situation can not be resolved otherwise yes. This situation is extremely dangerous to Sopura kingdom and if left like this, when Voldemort attack our home in future he will hit with many-fold more numerous troops that we are expecting" Replied Stoks with grim but determined face

"We are going to kill those Terrans??! There are millions even billions still alive there! We are not demons!!! It is wrong." Said Foxx

Another dispute erupted and disturbed the order.

King Arthur was in deep thought. Stoks's words, being disturbing and unpleasant were accurate.

"Order please! Our task from here on will be to find proper use of Ms Ryu's unique situation and make sure that divination chance keep rising. The events are quite dynamic and we may need to adjust our war strategy to meet the unexpected scenarios so far.

Arthur sighed and said:

"All right we will gather tomorrow for further discussion on the matters. Keep in mind that the subject is strictly classified, so keep your mouth shut as Voldemort's spies are present in Sopura capital" King Arthur Leonheart closed the meeting.

At the same day Akira finally got her dual cast upgrade. The grinding speed of attributes doubled!

 

Day 42

"What else can be improved?"

They have ended the last cocoon last night and Akira was enjoying her recent gains displayed on her status screen.

"Almost 74 000 SU and +20 to each of the attributes for a less than 10 days work. You are working miracles Akira" Foxx commented

"We have a small fortune of SU we should, buy something nice" Hina

"I think you should push up to level 20. There you will hit the second threshold of the soul attribute and get the "Mana well" upgrade.

"What...." Akira was about to ask

"Mana well" is a quality change of the soul when you reach second milestone of 200 Soul. It doubles your mana reserves. You can choose the other option called "Soul Guardian" that doubles Soul defense.

"And you think mana well is the better choice for us?" Hina

"I believe so. Your are basically a spell-caster albeit ridiculously strong. More mana is essential." Foxx

"And so far you haven't met a demon with a soul damage attack or spell. They are very common if fighting the undead, but so far you haven't met any of that type" Mira

Akira pondered over the topic and the logic sounded solid. So they decided to go for lvl 20.

[- 30 000 SU; Balance 43 900]

Akira and Hina leveled to 20 spending 15k SU each, and then put the 30 free attribute points into soul, reaching the second threshold at 200. Their mana regeneration improved to 20 per minute. and the mana reserve to 2 000.

[You have reached a threshold of the Soul attribute: Please select "Mana well" (2x mana) or "Soul guardian" (2x Soul defense)]

"Mana well" Akira, Hina

Akira felt like she bloated and felt dizzy, like she had drank to many beers. The sensation quickly vanished.

"Unbelievable....4 000 Mana at level 20" Foxx was so impressed. Of course it was possible achievement by any other hero type class, but no one in their right mind will put all his attribute points into the soul and leave others behind, becoming a glass cannon.

 "We have a total of 8 000 mana, Okasa. Do you think we can find another Hive to harvest nearby Tokyo?"

Akira laughed on her joke.

"That is a major improvement, Congratulations Akira" Mira

"Oh thank you princes. If you guys were here we could have thrown a party to celebrate" Akira

"That would be really great! I really want to meet you in person, Akira" Mira sighed sounding shy

"But not me?!" Hina

"B... But of course you as well Mrs Ryu. I want to meet both of y..you" Mira

"Oh don't be like Nel, Just call me Hina or Okasa"  Hina

"Oh she would never call you mother! She never called me that even when she was a toddler. Unless the princess get married to Akira and  forced by the kingdom laws" Foxx

"Hey I...." Mira tried to protest on the joke on her behalf

"Hey stop the crap talks, I am not getting married anyone, especially to a princess. Not to mention I am a female." Akira

"Hmm the fact that you are a commoner might cause a problem" Foxx agreed

"And not my gender, or the fact that I am a human and Mira is a beastkin?" Akira was surprised

"Oh I forgot you are from a Soul well world, and you are ignorant as a child" Foxx

"Hahah I have to explain Akira about the magic puberty as well" Kornelius

"hheheh" Mira

"heheh" Foxx

"I am sorry to make you work so hard" Akira replied coldly

"We may need to spare several hours daily for general education and more targeted one like demon combat and tactics to fix that issue" Foxx pondered

"I agree on that, Me and Okasa can not remain ignorant about the simple matters" Akira

"From now on Mira will be in charge for your general education. She will go trough the standard school education. I believe your 100 Int will speed the process manifolds. I will be in charge for military tactics and demonology education" Foxx

"So may  be Mira will be so kind to teach you the first lesson. You had questions about inter-races reproduction and relationship" Foxx

"All right then, Akira lets get some snacks and get comfortable" Hina

"Sensei you may start" Akira

"Oof I feel awkward, I don't know where to start?" Mira

"Start from the females marriages and impregnation and inter-race couples" Foxx

"Well the marriages between same sex are not frequent but not uncommon either. There are several ways for a child concealment between to female partners. Some involve skill or spell craft other involve magi-tech" Mira

"Ohh I have heard the most enjoyable way from all of them is the dwarven magi tech called"Mega-manhood" It is something like a bestseller! When you attach it down there it connects to you nervous system and acts as a real penis capable of shooting DNA ready for impregnation" Foxx  intervened

"Amazing" Akira

"So you see if you and Mira get married you can have your own children" Kornelius

"I thing the example here is inappropriate" Mira was blushing

"Yes the example is bad but what race will be the child born from that type of relationship?" Akira

"The child's race is always the same as the birth mother's one as a rule. So that is why the system has the bloodlines option. When the child reach 15 and activates its system there is presented an option to chose the other parent's bloodline" Mira

"Bloodlines provide many choices: The person can change its appearance matching the other parent or choose his current one but inheriting the race's inate skills, It always comes with granting permanent bonus of attributes" Mira

"What - more free stuff?" Akira was surprised

"Ahh that function is not working with our prototypes. It just recalls blank" Hina

"I am sorry, module's reserves were depleted" Kornelius

"So the module is broken?" Mira

"The module is fine but it hasn't got any bloodlines to offer at all" Kornelius

"I wouldn't say no to more skills and free stuff that a bloodline can offer thou. It is really a sad situation. We need all the power we can get our hands on." Akira

"Kornelius do you think it is absolutely impossible to reactivate the bloodline module of Akira and Hina system?" Foxx

"well....." Kornelius sounded distressed
