Chapter 13: You Can Do Anything For Five Minutes

The morning light filtered through the curtains as Adrian finished his breakfast, savoring both the food and Chris's heartfelt words. Feeling reinvigorated, he got ready for the day's training. He knew Sophia would be waiting for him, and he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and determination. Today, he would push himself even harder, both to impress Sophia and to grow stronger.

Adrian stepped out into the training grounds, greeted by the crisp morning air. Sophia was already there, her figure striking against the backdrop of the rising sun. She turned and smiled at him, a sparkle in her eyes that made Adrian's heart skip a beat.

"How are you feeling, Adrian? Can you handle the training?" asked Sophia, her voice full of concern.

Adrian was startled as she somehow seemed to have changed from yesterday, appearing more gentle than before. He eyed her with an intense gaze but reminded himself that he had to focus on becoming stronger. He replied, "Yes, teacher. I am at your mercy. Please train me well to be strong."

Hearing his energetic reply, she nodded approvingly. "Alright then, we will start with stance training, and then move on to more advanced exercises."

Sophia began by guiding Adrian through various stances, ensuring his form was correct. She emphasized the importance of balance and stability, explaining how each stance would form the foundation of his combat skills. Adrian followed her instructions diligently, feeling his muscles burn as he held each position.

After an hour of stance training, Adrian was so exhausted he lay on the floor, panting and gasping for breath. He couldn't even move his fingers. Sophia noticed his condition and crouched down to his level, then sat on the floor, lifting his head onto her lap, giving him a lap pillow.

Adrian couldn't help but marvel at the sensation of his sister's toned thighs beneath his head. She then opened a bottle of recovery potion and fed it to him. He lay there quietly for ten minutes as the potion worked its magic, feeling his energy slowly returning.

The recovery potion felt like a miracle, its effects far more profound than what he had imagined, plus the taste of the potion was also sweet. The warmth spread through his body, knitting his muscles back together and soothing his exhaustion.

He then opened his eyes to look towards his sister, his view partially blocked by her chest. Trying his luck, he muttered, "If only someone could give me a kiss, I bet my recovery would be astonishingly faster."

Sophia blushed slightly, hearing his words. Since she masturbated to Adrian, after yesterday's event, she came to realize the fact that Adrian might not be the only one with the complicated feeling. She had not slept for whole night, trying to comb through her feelings.

On one hand she had been hoping Adrian would make some request for a reward from her, which is why she had given him the lap pillow, having heard from her maids that men liked such gestures. While on the other, she felt what Adrian wanted from her and what she wanted from him were wrong. But seeing him train hard, his figure trying to keep with her grueling schedule, she couldn't have but have second thoughts.

As soon as Adrian asked her for the kiss, her mind emptied out and she couldn't help but get excited. But she snapped out of almost immediately and she leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. Adrian couldn't help but be disappointed. He thought that there would be continuation from yesterday's events.

Seeing his disappointed gaze, Sophia's heart felt a slight tinge of pain. She then said something that shocked herself as well. She told him," Rewards must be different. So, if you can complete today's events, your Teacher will allow you to do anything to her for 5 minutes."

Adrian eyes went wide open, hearing her words. With how she had been acting, he noticed that Sophia was not that much restrained from doing with the things he have asked. He noticed that she would hesitate but follow through if pushed hard.

Adrian felt that he might have caught onto something and tried to push her hard, so she won't refuse. With the thought in his mind, he instantly felt invigorated and jumped right from the lap pillow and screamed, " Is it true? You are not playing with me right? I will hold to your words and if you lie then I will leave home and never return."

Sophia's eyes widened in surprise and concern. "Adrian, calm down. Of course, I'm not playing with you. Why would you think that?" She stood up and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "I care about you, and I want to help you become stronger. I will do it, just don't have such thoughts ever again okay?", she said with a face that was almost about to cry.

Adrian's intensity softened instantly, but his determination remained. "I just... I am sorry, I won't utter such words, but I need to know you're serious and you won't turn back on your words."

Sophia nodded, worried her brother would really do what he said, "You can trust me, Adrian. I'm here to support you, and I won't let you down. Now, let's get back to training, okay?"

"Okay Teacher, lets get started. Besides I have recorded what you have said, so you won't be able to go back on your words." He said with a big grin.

Sophia felt something was wrong but couldn't pinpoint what exactly. She also heard him recording her, but she wonder what he meant by that. Shaking her head, she then began to prepare for next round of training.

Sophia moved on to footwork drills. She demonstrated a series of movements, weaving and dodging as if engaged in combat. Adrian watched closely, then mimicked her steps, gradually picking up speed and fluidity. The drills were exhausting, but he pushed through, driven by the reward from Sophia that waited him at the end of this training session.

Next, Sophia introduced weapon training. She handed Adrian a wooden sword, showing him basic strikes and blocks. They practiced together, the sound of clashing wood echoing through the training grounds. Sophia corrected his posture and technique, offering praise and encouragement whenever he made progress.

By noon, Adrian was drenched in sweat, his body aching from the rigorous workout. Yet, he felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing he had pushed his limits and grown stronger. Sophia smiled at him, her expression filled with pride.

"Teacher I have completed today's training, now I will get my reward right?", asked Adrian looking expectantly at Sophia while drinking a recovery potion.
