Ch 387: Fujino’s training.

"So, where are we doing it?" asked Noah. "I have several locations suitable for this kind of activities, but maybe you have as well?"

"We have." nodded Aether. "One of the buildings near the school is devoted to interrogating prisoners. We did mention that Hybrids are very promiscuous. Their great libido also makes them particularly vulnerable to sexual torture. And we have courses about resisting interrogation and getting out of restraints."

"I see." nodded Noah before smiling. "And are you good at getting out of restraints, Fujino?"

"Only average." smiled Fujino. "If you let any rope loose, I know how to exploit it. But if I don't have access to any knot or something sharp, do not expect a miracle."

Aether led them to a small, single floor, windowless gray building behind a screen of trees and a tall hedge. It was barely visible until you reached it.

"The basement is larger than the building on the surface suggests." said Aether as she typed a code on the door numeric pad and inserted a physical key.

Once inside, she led them down a flight of stairs, then opened a thick metal door on her right. The room inside clearly was a sex dungeon, and not quite the soft kind Noah was used too.

Here, whips and other tools made to inflict pain were numerous.

Noah turned to Fujino, who suddenly was a little nervous when she stared at some of the items on the walls and shelves. he saw her throat move as she swallowed.

"It will be okay, Fujino." said Noah with a soft voice, recapturing her attention. "I have plenty of experience, and I am not going to use all the things in there."

"Y-Yes, I'm ready." nodded Fujino as she steeled herself.

Noah nodded and glanced at Aether, who was carrying a chair toward a corner.

"Do not mind me, I will only observe." smiled Aether. "I will not interfere unless you do something really out of line."

"Most people would say that coercive sex is really out of line by default, but I just wanted to confirm something. For this demonstration, do I push the training to the point where Fujino will share my abilities, or do I stop once you are satisfied my methods won't break the students?"

"That is for Fujino to decide." said Aether. "She can at any given time decide to retract her consent and put a stop to the training, and so will the students. But you shouldn't underestimate our determination, Noah."

"We Taimanins and Exorcists have devoted ourselves to defending human society from infiltration by supernatural criminals, knowing that most of us won't reach retirement age. Knowing that we will likely face capture, torture and rape at least once during our service. And still, we step forward. Any student who accepts this training won't back down easily."

Noah nodded and stepped closer to Fujino.

"Yes, that is really admirable. Let us start, then." said Noah as he slowly lifted his hands, taking Fujino's white coat off her shoulders. He folded it as neatly as he could and put it on a desk. Next were Fujino's detached sleeves.

Noah walked behind Fujino, found the small zipper on her nape hidden behind a flap, and slowly pulled it down.

Fujino shivered but didn't say a word. Noah pulled down her latex swimsuit-like piece, and she stepped out of it.

Fujino now stood almost naked. She still wore her shoes and white stockings, but Noah didn't remove them.

"You really are beautiful." smiled Noah with an appreciating gaze he didn't try to hide.

"Thank you." replied Fujino with a slight blush. "You are quite handsome yourself."

Noah nodded, and took from his inventory a pair of black, padded leather cuffs, linked together by a ten-centimeters chain.

"Please present your wrists, Fujino." said Noah.

She nodded and lifted her hands in front of her after a second of hesitation, and Noah slowly closed the cuffs around her wrists, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.

"You're doing great." smiled Noah.

"It isn't much so far." nodded Fujino.

Noah nodded and took a black leather blindfold next. He slipped it over her eyes, then slowly pulled on the chain between her wrists to move Fujino under a chain dangling from the ceiling. He tied her hands above her head.

Deciding it was enough bondage for Fujino's first time with him, Noah hugged her from the front, and kissed her.

Fujino was frozen for only a second before she started returning the kiss, trying to copy his tongue's movements, her body shivering.

Fujino moaned sweetly when Noah started plundering her body, his hands massaging and groping her flesh.

Noah carefully watched her reactions to each of his ministrations, searching for her weak points.

He found them.

…

"You missed because your stance was crooked toward the front." said Fujino to one of her students, a girl named Yukikaze Mizuki. "Straighten out your left arm a bit more… Yes, like this. You can loose now."

Yukikaze let go of the string, and the arrow flew toward the target 25 meters away. She didn't hit the center, but at least, the arrow's head sunk into the compacted straw of the target, which was an improvement.

"Thank you, Fujino-Sensei." smiled Yukikaze.

"A bow is quite different from your guns, but you're a great student. You'll get proficient with it in no time." smiled Fujino.

"Yes…" nodded Yukikaze before glancing around, making sure no other students were within earshot, and her expression turned mischievous, and she lowered her voice. "…Say, Sensei. Are you perhaps seeing someone?"

"What makes you think that?" asked Fujino as she looked around, more to win time than anything else.

"That collar around your neck is new. And it must be someone quite special for you to be willing to wear it in public." nodded Yukikaze as she glanced at the collar, a four-centimeters wide belt of white leather fastened by a golden buckle, sitting snug around Fujino's neck.

Of course every student had noticed, and Fujino had pretended not to hear the furious whispers whenever she turned her back to them.

"Yes, I guess you could say that. But I won't say anything more about that matter." replied Fujino with as much dignity as she could muster. Which wasn't that easy when the butt plug she wore chose this moment to vibrate again.

The devilish toy seemed bent on reminding her of its presence at least once every few minutes, as if she could even forget about having something in there!

"Awww, too bad…" complained Yukikaze. "But maybe I can polish my surveillance skills by following you in secret… Or maybe I do not need to. Rumors say you and Aether-Sensei just had a date with Noah Enfield."

"It was a business meeting… sort of." replied Fujino with a defensive tone, her cheeks reddening.

"…Sort of." giggled Yukikaze.

"Alright, enough of this! Focus on your archery, Yukikaze." ordered Fujino.

"Aye aye, Sensei." grinned Yukikaze as she drew another arrow from the quiver on her waist.

…

"I think I already guessed, but I would like to hear your reasoning about the collar and the plug, Noah." said Aether.

They were both sitting in one of the school's rooms, in the administrative part of the building, and were watching the video feed coming from Fujino's archery class. Noah had his smartphone in hand and was manually controlling the plug.

"I made her wear a collar to make her experience a low, constant level of humiliation." shrugged Noah. "The plug, while not visible, adds to it while almost giving her some pleasure. The goal is to make her used to being sexually humiliated, for her to develop resistance to it."

"If she ends up captured one day, they won't be able to break her using something she had learned to tolerate, maybe even enjoy it to some extent."

"I see." nodded Aether, scribbling on her black notebook. "I must say that I was expecting more from your first session."

"More?" asked Noah with a raised eyebrow. "She came four times, and I mostly stopped because I didn't want her to be too exhausted for her afternoon classes."

"I mean that you only used a blindfold and a pair of leather cuffs. That is quite far from what we discussed."

"Oh, that. For now, I am focusing on forging that emotional bond and on letting her experience the kind of pleasure I can bring her. Once that pleasure is engraved into her body, and Fujino starts to see me as more than a simple trainer, a friend at the minimum, only then will I start ramping up the intensity of the bondage and humiliation and start getting into impact play, while still giving her pleasure."

"Over time, she will subconsciously associate the pain and the pleasure. That will likely give her a masochistic streak, but that's a good thing. It is much harder to break a masochist with torture."

"I do not disagree… And judging from her reactions, I think your methods will bear fruit quite soon, at least where feelings are concerned."

"I think so as well." smiled Noah. "And since I have a busy schedule, I intend to cheat a little. I possess an artifact, some kind of dimensional pocket where people can live inside, and where I can accelerate the flow of time. Unless you or Fujino objects, that is where we will do most of our future sessions."

"That would be very convenient, as long as I can regularly leave to transmit my reports to Asagi."

"Yes, we can easily do short bursts instead of a long one." nodded Noah.

He smiled as he flicked his thumb up on his smartphone's screen and saw Fujino stiffen and bite down a strangled gasp as the plug vibrated fiercely for a few seconds.

"I have not asked her yet if she wishes for me to regrow her right eye."

"I doubt she would." shrugged Aether, keeping her eyes on her notebook as she kept writing. "She likes its golden color and boasted several times about the way her artificial eye allowed her to link her vision to her bow and improve her accuracy."

"I like how it looks as well, but I will ask anyway, just in case." shrugged Noah. "This prosthetic aside, she's in great health. There are no Dark Seeds or whatever in her body."

"She hasn't been on the field for a while now, aside from taking part in a few rescue operations. It is still good to know." nodded Aether.

Noah watched Fujino for a few more seconds before setting his phone aside. He used Item Creation to make a black latex bodysuit, a model with a back zip stopping at the waist and another at the crotch.

"What is that suit for?" asked Aether.

"A prototype. I imbued it with self-sizing and a moderate amount of touch-attenuation magic. I would like for a volunteer who underwent Lewd Remodeling to wear it for a while and see if it helps, then give me some feedback. Once I get the correct intensity of attenuation, I can make as many as needed."

"You can create items with special properties, just like that?" asked Aether with a raised eyebrow.

"Just like that, yes." smiled Noah.

"You're full of surprises. Thank you, Noah. I will give it to someone I know." nodded Aether as she took the bodysuit, feeling its smooth texture between her fingers and examining it closely. Part of her wanted to tear the suit apart and learn its secrets, but… She would ask Noah for another later.

…

The sun had long set beyond the horizon when Aether knocked on the door of Asagi's office.

"Enter." called out Asagi, and Aether opened the door.

"I came to deliver my report." smiled Asagi.

Asagi smiled and stood from her office chair, walked around her desk, and gestured toward the sofas. They both sat facing each other.

"How was it?" asked Asagi. "Do you want something to drink?"

"No thanks." nodded Aether as she took a bundle of stapled sheets from her bag and handed it to Asagi.

"I half expected him to lose himself when offered Fujino on a platter and act like a beast in heat. On the contrary, he was methodical, deliberate, and fully in control from beginning to end."

"I heard that you started with eating some crepes, and you talked about the Hybrids' methods." nodded Asagi as she started reading Aether's report.

"We did." replied Aether. She kept silent for a few minutes to give Asagi time to finish reading.

Asagi rose an eyebrow in surprise several times when she read about Noah wanting to have a go at healing the victims of Petrification or Dollification.

"Good job, Aether… What is Noah's stance on Hybrids? Is he aware that you are one?"

"He didn't show any animosity towards me." shrugged Aether. "I do not think he knows. But I suspect that he believed all Hybrids to be enemies until this morning, then revised his opinion when we told him more about them. When he later referred to our enemies, he made a distinction and spoke about the criminals among them. He also refused Fujino's suggestion to strike at Arcela."

"Good. His approach to train Fujino makes sense. The only thing I don't like is that we won't know how far he intends to push things until the latter half of it."

"We had a chat about it while Fujino was in class. He said he will adapt his methods to the students' reactions and own kinks, so even he couldn't tell me how far things would go. Most girls fall completely in love and obtain his abilities before reaching what he considers to be his own limits."

"He told me about one of his lovers, a girl named Darkness, who is an hardcore masochist, and judging by the examples he gave me, hardcore is an apt word. Yet, none of the plays he did with her resulted in anything worse than welts and sore joints."

"So nothing special for us." nodded Asagi. "I am relieved to hear it. We aren't putting our students in the hands of a monster, or someone who will get in over his head and lose control. Thank you, Aether. And please tell Fujino that I owe her a favor."

"Yes." nodded Aether as she stood, then picked from her bag the rolled bundle of black latex.

"Noah also made this bodysuit. He wants us for someone suffering from the secondary effects of Lewd Remodeling to test it, then provide him feedback before he makes more."

"Is there anything special to it?" asked Asagi as she unfurled the bodysuit and watched it carefully.

"According to him, the bodysuit will conform itself to the wearer's body for a perfect fit, and numb their sense of touch. He thinks it would make everyday life easier for someone whose skin sensitivity was increased tenfold."

"...I see." nodded Asagi. "Is he aware that I am one such case?"

"Again, if he does, he didn't show it and didn't say a word about it." shrugged Aether. "I'll be going. Fujino's training resumes early tomorrow, and I need to attend."

"Yes, thank you again." smiled Asagi as she accompanied Aether to the door.

…

Asagi returned home with the bodysuit in her bag. After doing her daily routine, she removed her clothes, then took the black latex bodysuit. For long seconds, she stared at the futon at her feet, then at the suit.

It was only because of her iron will and the numbing drugs that Asagi was able to function during the day.

And it was worse during nighttime, when the weight of the cover pressed on her sensitive skin. All too often, she was forced to take some sleep medicine and resist the urge to move at all before the drug took effect, or the itching on her whole body would flare up.

Asagi sighed and inserted her right leg into the suit, half-expecting the clingy material to cause the itching to grow worse.

The opposite happened. The latex on her leg felt like a refreshing balm, instantly muting the itching sensation.

Asagi let out a relieved sigh as she inserted the other leg, pulled the suit up, and put it on. When she was done, she felt much better than she had in years. She could tell that her sense of touch was still more sensitive than normal on the covered parts, maybe twice as mush as she remembered it to be before the Lewd Remodeling, but this was so much easier to tolerate.

She dove into the futon, happy that she would manage to have a good night of sleep for once, without needing medicine.

If she had one criticism, it was that the bodysuit didn't do anything for her hands and feet. She would need to request that Noah covered those as well.
