Out of all the trainer classes in the world, what's one of your favorites? Personally I love the "casual dude" class from Orre. Like. Its so nonspecific it's hilarious
Lol, I forget that's a class sometimes. I think some guys got together and petitioned for that to be a thing just so they wouldn't need to do more work to be official.
While technically Ranger is a class, if I had to pick one, I think I'd pick "Odd Couple" classes for people who are in relationships.
I think its both cute and silly that there's a whole class for that, and thankfully, most people really play it up when they choose that class.
Some people really like to play up their class type, like the "Lone Wolf" class, which features some edgelords and mostly just silly kids.
There are some from all across the world I've never even encountered, so it's always fun to see what title and class I see next.

🛏🌧🐹 for Eleanor? :3
🛏️ What does your OC’s bed look like? What would they like their bed to look like? right now she’s either squatting in abandoned houses or renting motel rooms so she doenst really have bed of her own unfortunately. but she’s on her way to getting enough to buy her own apartment!
🌧️ What is the favorite thing for you OC to do on a rainy day? she mostly just likes sitting and watching the rain. the sound is very soothing to her. she also loves it when there’s thunder!
🐹 Which would be your OCs favorite Pokemon? What kind of trainer would they be? i think zoroark would be a good fit for her! i wasnt sure exactly how to answer the second part because i havent played pokemon in so long so i just decided to look up all the pokemon trainer classes (and there are a lot). i coudnt really decide so i just settled one called Lone Wolf. there’s no info on the class but i liked the name of it haha!

PokeTeam RWBY
Explanations Under Cut
Okay, so--first up is Ruby. Ruby is a Pokemon Ranger, as I felt it was as close to her aspirations as a Huntress as you could get in the Pokemon universe. She is a Steel- and Dark-type trainer, with the exception of her partner Pokemon Marowak [Alolan], which is a nod to her having lost her mom at a young age, but a bit more edgy than normal. She also has a Lycanroc as a nod to her original concept being based off of the Wolf from Little Red Riding Hood, and Absol as a reference to her being at the center of a lot of trouble. Bisharp and Scizor are both there because they’re dangerous bladed Pokemon, while Skarmory is a reference to her taking after her Uncle Qrow, who is a Flying-type trainer.
Next is Weiss. Weiss is a Lady Pokemon trainer, as she is of a rich and upper-class status which fits that character archetype. She is an Ice- and Fairy-type trainer, with the only exception being Golurk, which is a nod to her Armos spirit summon. Her main Pokemon is Froslass, as her Semblance is similar to how Froslass freezes its enemies and keeps them as trophies. After that, she has both Ninetales [Alolan] and Glaceon because of her cool elegance and poise. Gardevoire is a reference towards her ‘magical’ skill and prowess, while Togekiss is a reference for her devotion and kindness towards her friends and true family.
Blake is next. Blake is an Ace Trainer, as she probably has the most real-world experience in combat amongst the rest of Team RWBY. She is a Dark-type, with the lone exception being her Mienshao as a reference to her martial prowess and more exotic background. Her main Pokemon is Liepard, both as a nod to her being a cat faunus, as well as a reference to her natural agility and skill. Weavile is a nod to her relentlessness in combat, while Scrafty is a nod to her slightly shady background and history for doing criminal actions. Like Ruby, she has an Absol, but for her it represents her fear that she will only bring trouble to those she loves. Finally, she has an Umbreon because she is from shadows.
Finally, we come to Yang. Yang is a Battle Girl trainer, because out of all of Team RWBY, Yang is the one person who is most DTF (down to fight). She is a Fire- and Fighting-trainer, and has access to all three of the Fire/Fighting starters. Emboar represents her ability to take a hit and then hit back just as hard if not harder, Infernape represents her agility and prowess in fighting, as well as her more general fighting style, and Blaziken represents her general badassness. Ursaring, meanwhile, is a reference to her character being based off of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, while Hitmonchan is a reference to her fighting style being more punching-based. Finally, she also has Charizard as she is the ‘Sunny Little Dragon’.
And so, that is Team RWBY as Pokemon Trainers. Let me know what y’all thought.

What trainer class would your muse fall under? (for all of them)
The pokémon headcanon ask meme!(Accepting)
An interesting question! The quartet of the blog fit into some trainer classes but to single each out... Verris would most likely fit into the Lone Wolf Trainer Class from Pokemon Revolution, as no other really fits him. Cameraman is too commercial and there isn't a photography one other than that, but Verris is quite literally a Lone Wolf type anyways ^^ Harou is obviously a Ninja Boy! His whole life is about being a Ninja so is there really anything more fitting?
Garreths trainer class would have to be either the obvious Coordinator Trainer Class(Which is an anime specification) or a Veteran Star(A Pokestar Studios specific class) since he is a Coordinator though, I think that the anime class would fit the best..
Seraphina could have a couple different trainer classes, but the best I personally see are Ace Trainer, Duchess, and Lady, for all their own clear reasons. Ace Trainer due to her battle prowess, Duchess due to her status as the daughter of a very well known and wealthy family, and Lady...well, cuz she presents as a very beautiful woman. Plus shes rich.

Hey! I would like to ask for some Vermillion and Silva headcannons if the families were living in a modern world and maybe for the Black Bulls too? If it's not to much! Thanks!
Thanks for the ask, I will give it my best! :D
Mereoleona: Maybe in the Military, but she would also be awesome as a chef or sous chef in a high class restaurant. I could see her in a workplace thats a bit more secluded, as she doesnt like the fuss politics and economie bring with them. She owns a harley, next to a more practical jeep, and she loves to spend her vacations by making tours on her baby. She also loves Leatherjackets. In her free time she participates in Kickboxing-classes, sometimes even teaching the class when the instructor doesnt show up. Her house is full with weights and she has two maine coon cats (called Simba and Nala, because, even though shed rather die than to admit it, she loves the Lion king and never got over Mufasas death. She quietly checked up on Leon and her father when she couldnt sleep to make sure they were fine and still there)
Leon: He would make a great trainer for a famous team, whatever kinda sport. He probably would take over the familys business, though. It would fit, if their family has something to do with sports equipment. But actually, he is the perfect man for the job of police captain or higher up. Also much political influence, give due to his lineage. Before working he graduated from Law school and is an certificated Lawyer. He is also big on saving animal and helps fighting for their rights in his free time, especially big cats.
Leo: still in school, but he aspires to be like his bro. Hes great in Sports of all kind, and even the Captain of the soccer team. Apart from that he plays tennis, basketball, does judo, rows, and if you would place him on top of a horse he would even manage that. He still lives at home, but he is over at Leons so often that he has Keys, some stuff stored in a closet and the Pull-out couch is also always reserved for him.
Mimosa: Also still in school, wants to become a doctor since she was 5. She is pretty grown up, even for her age, and is a school council member. Sometimes she models for Kirsch, because she still loves him, even though they fight often. She likes to help the underprivileged by tutoring them, this way she met asta, who is a pupil on her sisterschool.
Kirsch: Hes in college and studys fashion and design. He also works as a model, has gotten a role in a movie and runs his own fashion and make-up brand. (Keeping up with Kirsch is a running Headline in boulevard magazines)
Nozel: He would either make a kick-ass attorney or judge (with customized robes), but also be great as head of a company that has to do with aviary systems, satellites, planes or else. Also he has influence on politics and plans to run as major in the future. He is pretty old fashioned when it comes to his freetime-activities. He collects art, stamps and researches birds in quiet. Sometimes he funds expeditions to discover more about rare species, or integral nature reserves. He also bought many plots of lands, where endangered Birds live, all across the world, because the ongoing destruction of their habitat and their extinction is bothersome to him. He has degrees in law and business and is a wanted Single on the market, a circumstance that has led to him living more and more secluded, in the company of a grey parrot. (it once belonged to his mother and sometimes it would say sentences it copied from her)
Nebra: Nobody knows what Nebra does. Nobody dares to ask. She clouds herself in mist and mysteries. She probably works for the government.
Solid: He goes to college, majors in either business or law, because the family wants him to do that. Actually he is more a partyguy, the typical fratboy. Obviously, the frat is like completely his because Silvas of many generations were members. Also he has a thing for fast silver cars. Nozel hopes he will grow out of this eventually.
The Bulls: Okay, this one is tough, I have tried to think of a place where a bunch of adults, teens and kids can live together at. So how about they are all neighbors in a House with cheap rent, and over time they formed a big family?
Noelle: She goes to school, and after she was kicked out she emancipated herself. She moved into the Black bull mansion and lives from her allowance. She works as a waitress in the cafe-bar-restaurant on the groundfloor of the building.
Asta: He and Juno both got scholar ships, he especially for his physical abiltys, but the money wasn’t quite enough for an accomodation, so he lives in a small, run down 1-room apartement and also works in the restaurant, but as a bouncer.
(No, im sure its not legal for minors to work in such a place, but they need the money)
Finral: is a manager and bartender, ran away from home and landed there. After his family got more and more abusive he couldnt stay any longer and nearly ended up as a gigolo, but Yami saved his behind before he could self destruct. He still has the bad habit of flirting with every woman he sees, and hes a day dreamer, but all he wishes for is to find the perfect wife, to have many children and be a stay at home dad. He has a lot of love to give and many holes in his heart to fill. For the time being he is something like the eldest brother of the bulls, and whenever someone has to disappear because some investigations are going on, he knows of many hiding spaces and secret escape-ways.
Vanessa: Also ran way from home because of her abusive mother, is from another country and was found by yami shortly after she ran away. Now she also works as a bartender and sometimes as waitress. She has great talent with sewing, crocheting, making and changing clothes. She takes on jobs on the low from the bulls and other people, she even sells some of her works over the internet.
Gordon: Due to his shyness and anxiety he chose to move into a rather antisocial environment, but got aggressively adopted anyways by the bulls. He makes money as accountant, for the Bulls and over the internet.
Gauche: basically, his story is the same, and after his imprisonment was over hes out on probation) Yami got him a room in the building. Sometimes he works as a bouncer, when they are short on staff, otherwise he works in a library or old book shop. During the nights he takes online classes to graduate from school, so he can one day get a well paying job to provide Mary with all the money she needs to get through live easily.
Magna: Is a punk who got picked up by Yami one day, after he and Luck fought in front of the black bulls base. He works at a local shelter, and plays baseball with kids at the community center. Hes a good guy with a tough demeanor. He also tries to help Yami whenever he can, with whatever he can.
Luck: After his mother died he was sent to a social living community, where his attitude to fight everyone was only strengthend. He ran away after an especially bloody fight and landed on Magnas hometurf. They got into a fight, which woke Yami up, and so he and Magna both ended up living there. Yami said, it was so they could attone for their sin of disturbing his sleep. Luck and Magna share a 2-Room flat, because there weren’t that many 1-room ones left. He works as a courierboy and is known for his quick deliverys, but he also really has a knack for electro-engineering. He plans to graduate, too, someday and to open up his own business.
��Charmy: Nobody exactly knows where Charmy comes from exactly. She just turned up one day after she saw, that the Bulls looked for a chef. She only talks about food, and the bulls understood after a while that she really does not want to talk about her past or family. All they know is that she is smaller than average for her age and that her obsession with food could come from shortages of that in her early life.
Gray: Is a nonbinary youth who ran away and lived on the streets. They like to change their looks, now that they make money by working for the black bulls, often just washing dishes, restocking and such. They are great at adapting to new jobs, if these dont require much human interaction. Also the peptalks from the bulls really help. They also posses a great talent for theater works, such as costume design and make up. If they weren’t so shy they would be a great actor too.
Zora: He is one of those inhabitants that come and go. Mostly hes some kind of lone wolf crusader, some sort of social justice warrior who either helps the poor when he sees them being mistreated or posts videos showing misconduct of upperclass jerks. He has a whole network going on, and often sends his videos to the police or news senders, if he has the feeling, that the law enforcement is sweeping something under the rug. He has a high IQ and is proficient in hacking. His mask is his sign, he always wears it when hes in action.
Yami: He is the son of immigrants, or was an illegal immigrant himself. If that was the case, i can imagine that Julius helped him getting citizen status after Yami stopped a Criminal on the run who just happened to run into his direction, looking dangerous and armed. He either is a Detective (private, not police), a headhunter or probation officer. Could also be a cop. Also he runs the Black Bulls bar, mostly so the inhabitants have a place to work at.
- The Vermillions main Mansion would be huge, but more modern. Much space, training rooms, sports equipment, Medals, trophys and certificates won in various tournaments of all kinds by Mereo, Fuego and Leo covering a whole room.
-The Silvas Mansion would also be huge, but more in a Victorian ‘This house belonged to our family for generations’style. The colourscheme is cold, lots of Silva, blues and dark wood. Also so many chandeliers. So many. Also the family crest is everywhere. Its a place that could easily become a filmset for a historical movie.
-They don’t have their name on the Postbox, just the crest. Thats how extra they are about it. (This has also often led to drunk or confused people thinking they are some sort of special church, and then trying to enter the house. These incidents always end with unamused Silvas)
- All the eldest children have moved out of their main Mansions, and live in Flats, Appartments and Mereo in a small house a bit out of the city. They all only come back together for celebrations or in cases of emergencies.
-The Black bulls Castle is officially Julius property, because he has the money and power, also he wants to help his eldest son Yami out. Its a total mess, but the Bulls manage to repair most of it themselves. They love their broken down house so much, the started to call it their castle on the clouds, mostly because it is the biggest building they’ve ever lived in, with more luxury they ever imagined they would ever get to enjoy.
#Caw caw#phew this was a lot#I hope this is okay anon#I couldnt do all aspects that could be part of a modern live thing#and i have probably made many spelling mistakes#but here goes :)#im on a roll#some wild modern black clover headcannons appear

5 Mental Strength Questions For Superior Fitness
With the New Year approaching many will be making their yearly fitness resolutions....one more time. Now I'm not going to get into the statistics about how many people keep their resolutions or not, but I will say that it's shocking that less then 20% of the North Americans exercise 3 times or more per week.
So why do so many people "fail" at keeping their resolution (not matter when they make them?) As shocking as this may seem (can you hear the sarcasm) a one-size-fits-all approach to fitness simply does not work! The typical lift weights 2-3 times a week and perform hours of cardio simply is ineffective for everyone.

This recipe excludes the individual and their social and behavioral makeup. Huh??? What the heck does social and behavior have to do with getting fit? Everything!! But before we continue I'd like to make a change in terms from exercise to "active living." Using this term will allow for a more complete discussion about a person's fitness goals. For example, if it was recommended that an overweight introvert take a kickboxing class that person would be doomed for failure.
To help in determining the right active living program for you these 5 mental strength questions need to be addressed:
1. Am I a social person or a lone wolf?
2. Do I like adventure or play it safe?
3. Am I a leader (or want to be) or I am comfortable following?
4. Am I a morning or evening person
5. What's more important my work, my life (fitness) or my family?
I know these questions may appear to have nothing to do with fitness. But as the questions are investigated, with the help of a certified fitness or life coach, you will begin to understand the ramifications, not just on your physical appearance but, your life in totality.
After this last paragraph you're probably asking, "A fitness/life coach? Why do I need of those I have personal trainer." First, congratulations on having a trainer, the vast majority of people do have one, or see the benefit...you're well on our way to a fulfilled and fit lifestyle.

A personal trainer is important in your fitness progress. A trainer knows the biomechanics of movements, the muscle structure so that specific exercises can be prescribed. But a trainer is not schooled in getting to the "why", pairing you up with an active life program that fits your personality or providing the support once you're finished with daily fitness activity. That's were a fitness coach or even a life coach comes in. If you are committed to your health and life I strongly recommend looking hiring both.

Dreemurr Academy #9 (FellSwap Sans)
Dreemurr Academy, a prestigious closed-off college for monsters and humans alike of all ages and worlds. This includes myself, though I'm sort of an in-between. I'm Lynsie, the human anomaly. I'm a human, but I can do magic like monsters. I'm an oddball. That's the thing about making a school that is open to multiple alternate dimensions. Weird things are bound to show up. Even a bunch of the same person. From what I saw on orientation day, the same faces are scattered around all around. To fix these type of issues, everyone that has a multiple or doppelganger is given a school name so there's no confusion. Other than that, it's fairly normal. The hierarchy is the simple. The Deans are made up of the same people, skeleton monsters that go by the name of Gaster. One is a teacher of the Sciences, goes by Wingding. He's a kind and understanding man but is known to pull a prank or two. They all speak in a typeface sign language but use telepathy magic so others understand. It's been said no one has ever heard their real voices and those that have are no longer at the academy. Another Gaster dean teaches Home Economics, he goes by Wingy. He's a bubbly sweet guy that loves his work. Nothing makes him smile more than seeing the joy on a student's face when they take pride in being able to do something they first thought they couldn't. Another Gaster dean teaches the studies of Magic, he is called Fall. At times, he can be cynical, malicious, and sarcastic. He has a commanding presence that exuded gravitas, authority, and control, able to keep a class quiet without effort. Yet there is a kindness to him, it's rarely seen, but not unheard of. Another Gaster dean teaches History, his nickname is Dings. A cold, bitter, and sometimes childish man. He tends to hold grudges against troublesome students and is extremely spiteful toward those whom he dislikes. Yet those that can take his punishments are rewarded with his respect. He is a teacher that commands respect and whose grades are earned with doom hanging over your head. The Professors are also skeleton monsters, but not all are the same person. The Psychology professor is a guy named Papyrus but goes by Stretch. He's the favorite among students because he's so laid back. He chews a toothpick in class to suppress his urge to smoke, but we all know he does so when on break. He's really good at reading students and helps out when able. All in all, he's the cool teacher. The Literature professor is a Papyrus that is called Fell. He is the one teacher everyone dreads. Very strict and old-fashioned. He does not tolerate interruptions and will humiliate those he feels need to be taken down a notch. Such things take their toll on him and often squeezes a stress ball that he keeps on his desk. But he is a very passionate man when it comes to his work and takes his subject seriously, even though this makes him into a bit of a grammar nazi which is why many students get low grades. The Biology professor is a skeleton called Sans that sometimes goes by Classic, whatever that means. He is very cheesy and comes off as lazy, making puns that have people cringe yet secretly love them. He is very protective of his students and will go out of his way to help them. He does not tolerate bullying of any kind and can be quite scary. He's the second favorite among the students. The Physical Education professor is also a Sans that goes by Pain. He is also a stern and old school type of teacher, only he tends to be crueler in the humiliation of students that are unprepared. While his scope is all around, he prefers the darker side of the study. Using borderline violence to weed out the weak that think taking his class is an easy A. There is mercy in his dojo, but it must be earned with blood, sweat, and tears. The Students are broken into four groups based on which part of the four years they are currently in. The first years are called freshmen. Second years are sophomores. Third years are juniors. And fourth years are seniors. There are some variations on this topic, but this hierarchy of college students is still readily recognizable by everyone. Me? This isn't my first rodeo but not my last. I'm a sophomore and have gotten the gist of who's who and what's what. I get along with students and teachers. I've always been a middle ground type of girl. I didn't come looking for friends, but they just seemed to find me. Funny enough, my buddies are the brothers of the professors. Stretch's brother is a freshman, his name is Sans but goes by Rascal. Fell's brother, also a Sans, is a sophomore like me and goes by Edgy. Classic's brother is a Papyrus, a freshman that goes by Papy. And Pain's brother is a sophomore Papyrus by the name of Slim. I've always been a tomboy. I prefer the company of guys. They're different and fun, even if they can be a bit odd sometimes. Rascal, as the nickname implies, is the school clown/prankster. He likes to test his limits and challenge authority, even dishevels his uniform to assert his individuality. He comes off as a slacker, but secretly very deep, clever, and loyal to a fault. He likes taking his brother's class so he can improve his skills with messing with people, mostly his brother as he disrupts his teachings when he sees a chance. Edgy is shy around new people and slow to open up, enjoying a laugh with friends when able. Though he appears weak or even nerdy because of his glasses, he is far tougher than he leads on. He doesn't take crap from anyone. When alone, he's angsty and borders on straight up angry. Getting a pissy attitude when annoyed. Like his brother, he is very passionate about literature and does his best to impress his brother, going so far as to become the teacher's pet. Papy is easily the most lovable guy in the whole school. Very cheerful and optimistic, he tries his best no matter what. He doesn't like conflict and tries to keep his brother out of trouble when the teacher pulls a prank. I find it sweet of him to take his brother's class even though he doesn't particularly enjoy it, just so he can stay close to him. Like I said, this guy is a lovable soul. Slim is easy going. He doesn't take things too seriously and never breaks a sweat over hard exams. The only thing that breaks his cool is his smoking, he really gets tense if he goes too long without his fix. He's incredibly smart and instinctual, good traits to have when dealing with his brother. While he does attend his brother's class, he merely does so as a request of his brother who likes to make sure he doesn't slack off due to not being challenged enough. All of them are oddly related to each other in some form. Gaster's, Papyrus's, and Sans's are brothers. Yet I see them all as different people. I value them. They're helping me even if they don't know it. I am not so confident in myself. I tend to isolate myself, go at things lone wolf style. It's how I've always been. Then I met them and slowly my world began to expand bit by bit. I'm still not comfortable with others. But with them, I can step out from behind my mask for a bit, and really be myself around them. Today is a typical day. Classes have been their typical medium level of difficulty, nothing special really. Yet the final bell has chimed and I'm still in school. No, I don't have detention, that's not a thing in college. Study hall then? Nope, I'm not there either, though I should later so as to be ready for next week's exams. No, I'm surprisingly in the gymnasium and working out. Years of shitty public school that don't care about your health or education have left my body in need of as much exercise as can get. At first, I didn't think I was in that bad of shape, then I tried doing a pull-up on day one and couldn't even get my head near that damn bar after ten minutes of hanging there like a poster cat. That's when I decided to fix that because frankly, it makes me feel pathetic. Now I do anything I can that I see as a better alternative. Need to go somewhere? I walk or bike. Got to get to a higher floor? Stair climb that bitch! You see where I'm going with this. Luckily, I also have help from a kind of personal trainer. When I first entered his class, Professor/Coach Pain was less than thrilled about me. If I recall correctly, after I got winded running a couple laps he said I was a 'redundant horse'. Meaning, the will is there to work but lacking the ability to do anything, much like if a racehorse had only three legs. While this did hurt, I used it as motivation. I was relentless in showing him that I was determined to not give up, no matter how many colorful insults he used to break me. This earned me his respect and with that, we were able to make a little deal. He'd agree to train me after hours as long as I clean up the gym. Needless to say, we've been doing this for about two years now and he sees me as a proud pet project. "KEEP IT UP! YOU'RE DOING GREAT." "Yes, sir." "DON'T SLOW DOWN!" "I'm not trying." "COME ON, YOU WEAK PILE OF SHIT! I SAID TWO HUNDRED PUSHUPS, NOT ONE FIFTY!" "I'm doing it! *sharp gasp* Get off my back!" "DON'T BACK SASS ME! IF I WANT EXCUSES, I'LL GO TELL PAPYRUS TO PICK UP HIS FUCKING SOCKS!" "Argh! No, I mean literally, get off my back! *wincing* I think something snapped!" Normally I meet his demands, even when he adds himself to my weight set, but not today. He gets off me and I drop with a sharp groan. "OKAY, WIMP. WHERE'S THE DAMAGE AT?" "The lower back. Just above the dip of the coccyx." He feels under my tank top along my back and I jolt at the sudden pain that hits when he applies some pressure. "*sigh* YEAH, YOU PULLED SOMETHING. FEELS LIKE A LIGAMENT TO ME. HAVE YOU BEEN LIFTING ANYTHING HEAVY LATELY?" "I helped a new student move into my building. They didn't have much, but the few things they had were crammed with stuff that didn't seem heavy." "YOU IDIOT. WHO SAID YOU WERE ALLOWED TO PUSH YOURSELF LIKE THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW I DIDN'T." "You know me. I don't back down just because something's hard." He just shakes his head in disappointment. "YOU CAN BE SUCH A DUMBASS, YOU KNOW THAT?" "I've been called worse." "SEEMS THIS PART OF TRAINING IS DONE FOR NOW. CAN YOU MOVE AT ALL?" "I should be okay in a bit..." I roll myself over so I'm flat on my back. "Just let that part relax before we go hardcore again." "*scoff* YOU HUMANS HAVE SUCH PITIFUL BODIES. IT AMAZES ME THAT YOU DON'T ALL BREAK LIKE FINE CHINA." "No argument there, sir. *weak sigh* I envy you." To that, he looks at me funny. "HOW SO?" "You're a magic skeleton. You don't need muscles to move. Tendons to hold you together. Fat to make energy. Skin to shield your form. You are pure, bare bones. You boggle my mind with how you work from an evolutionary standpoint, but then again, that doesn't really matter. You're perfect." That floors him and at the same time strokes his ego. "WELL, THAT IS TRUE. A BODY AS PERFECT AS MINE IS A BLESSING TO BEGIN WITH. BUT WHY STOP THERE? *flexing* TRAINING HAS ONLY INCREASED MY VALUE. *pose* THESE BONES HOLD MORE POWER THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE." I smirk. "I don't know. My imagination is mighty limitless." I slowly try sitting up, inching ever so gently into a normal 90° angle with a few weak winces. "ANY BETTER?" "Still sore. But still good enough to keep going." "DON'T PUSH IT. PUT ENOUGH STRESS ON THAT THING AND YOU'LL BE IN A SLING FOR AGES." "I meant swimming. It's how we always end things and it's easier on the body. Less gravity in water with added mobility." "KILLER IDEA. NOW, DO YOU NEED ANY HELP?" "Nah, I can make it to the pool. And if I can't, I can always crawl or roll." "...GOOD TO KNOW." Normally I'd swim in my swimsuit, but with my current back issue, moving around like that to change would be a stupid thing to do. So in light of not wanting to fuck my back up and go to the hospital, I'm swimming in my gym clothes. Rolling is not a preferred option, just a last resort, but I am able to crawl my way over to the pool. Though I do feel a bit weird because I can sense Pain watching me as I do so. I'm used to him watching me, but this...This feels different as I slide into the lukewarm water. Ah, the water. It's my home away from home. As weak as I was on land, once in the water there was no match. Sure, I'm not the top swimmer. These monster girls named Undyne and monster boys named Aaron, most of them make up the swim team, but I like to think I'm okay by comparison. I can move like melted butter in a hot skillet. And he knows it too. Once I'm in the pool that 'redundant horse' turns into a 'seamless otter'. I know, he's not the most creative in metaphorical animal comparisons, but they make sense anyway. Pool training consists of his more intense training. The endurance workouts are based on time instead of distance. The speed workouts include 50-yard swims for sprint and Olympic, and 100-yard swims for longer distance training. And the technique workouts help improve my swim mechanics and include both kicking and stroke drills. The one-arm drill is always a fun starter. Swim 25 yards with the left arm only, followed by 25 yards with the right arm only, then swim 50 yards with both arms. This teaches you to develop a more even stroke. When performing the kicking drills, I try to drive the kick from my hips with knees slightly bent. Think of dancing the twist but with a slower motion so you are incorporating more of your thigh muscles. This will help develop a more powerful kick. Of course, we don't do this kind of stuff every day. It's important to take a day or two off between each workout to rest and recover. I swim continuously for 30 to 35 minutes; starting slow and building speed. The last five minutes being a hard effort but not all out and with no more than 90 percent max heart rate effort. Warm-ups are usually by swimming 400 yards easy then 50-yard sprints with a 30-second recovery between each sprint with 10 to 12 sprints before trying to add an additional 50-yard sprint each week, up to but not exceeding 18 sprints total. Swim 100 yards becomes super easy after all that but that's not all. Then there's doing 6 x 25 yards at 45-second intervals; swimming at 85 percent max heart rate. Cooling down with 300 slow laps and then warming up with 300. Then 200 yards pull with buoy, kick 200 yards as we enter the main set with eight 100-yard sprints with 1-minute rest between intervals, adding an extra 100-yard sprint each consecutive week up to, but not exceeding, 16 total sprints. Cool down with 200 yards easy then warm up 300 yards easy. 200 yards drill, 200 yards kick, 500 yards pull with a buoy. Trying to breathe every three strokes for 100 yards, while for the next 100 yards trying to breathe every 5 strokes, and then repeat. Also trying to alternate sides when taking a breath with the goal to increase lung oxygen intake and learn how to breathe on both sides. Cool down with 300 easy. That's when we dial it back at the end of the week to maximize taper. Warm up 300 to 400 yards with the main set of eight 50-yard sprints with 30 seconds recovery. Cool down 300 yards. 800 yards easy swim. And that's my month in just the pool, not counting all the normal gym workouts he puts me through. In short, this is Olympic level training. For example, to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics, a swimmer had to be able to swim the length of a pool in about 23 to 26 seconds. That's 50 meters or a few feet longer than the length of a football field in LESS THAN 30 SECONDS! The typical training schedule is working out in the pool twice a day, six days a week. But since this isn't anything more than him helping me to not be a lump of blob goo, we don't hit this as much. But that doesn't mean that the pool workouts aren't intense as fuck. The sprinting workouts focus on developing power and speed in the water. So sometimes I might sprint while hooked up to a power rack, a device that adds resistance as I move through the water so that I have to work even harder to keep going. I also do kick sets to work the legs and pull sets to isolate the arms. We work controlling my breathing with hypoxic workouts, which require me to limit breathing or hold my breath altogether. This also clocks in some serious distance, to the tune of 6 to 12 miles of swimming in a single workout. Sprinters have to train to develop their aerobic capacity, which means doing a lot of yardage. What's yardage? Are you sitting down? Something in the neighborhood of 10,000 to 20,000 meters (6 to 12 miles), or 100 to 200 laps in a single workout. Training outside the pool is no joke, either. We lift weights, run, do yoga, Pilates, you name it. Literally, everything we do on land is meant to complement some aspect of swimming, so typically training outside the pool is coordinated by Pain. But this doesn't mean he aims me to get all buff. The key to lifting as a swimmer is to get stronger so you have more power in the pool but to stay as lean as possible and not put on too much muscle mass, which makes you heavier in the water. Shoulder stabilization exercises, which are essential to building the strong, durable shoulders swimmers need to swing their arms over their heads over and over. Beyond that, most swimmers' lifting programs will be designed around the stroke they specialize in, I specialize in the Breaststroke. Doing lots of heavy squats and lunges and core exercises work for the breaststroke, and shoulder and arms workouts to help upper body for the freestyle stroke. All that training means lots of eating, which is usually a girl's worst nightmare. If you're going to be swimming twice a day, lifting weights three times per week, and also doing sprints, yoga, and Pilates, you're going to need a lot of fuel. It's estimated that female swimmers eat 3,000 to 5,000 calories per day and male swimmers about 5,000 to 8,000 per day during training. To put that in perspective, a 25-year-old guy who is 6'0'' that weighs about 165 pounds and exercises a few times per week would need about 2,400 calories per day to maintain his weight, and a 25-year-old woman who's 5'5'' and weighs about 140 pounds and works out a few times per week would need about 1,900 calories per day to maintain her weight. After about a month of this, Pain starts to taper me or adjust my activity level so that I'm fresh and ready to go all out on personal reward day. During the taper, we stop all training except the pool workouts, and the pool workouts are tweaked to be less demanding. But outside of the pool workouts, I will sometimes give up all activity, no matter how low intensity it is. Maybe just veg out in bed for a day and watch anime, or hang out with friends till into the late hours. You know, fun stuff. It all helps in recovery, but what really relaxes me are massages and a good cracking at the chiropractor to stay healthy and strong. However, because of the pain in my back, I don't end up lasting very long. Maybe close to an hour at most before something gives. "*gasps* Timeout! Fuck! *blurbles*" I barely have enough time to paddle back into the shallows as my limbs give out and I end up grasping on the pool edge rim to keep from going under. "WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT'S WRONG?" "I can't...I can't feel my legs." He jumps in and grabs my right leg. Lifting it, feeling it, and bending it. "CAN YOU FEEL ANY OF THIS?" "Just barely. It's numb with a pins and needles tingle. Like when you lay on a body part and it falls asleep from lack of circulation, then when you get off it and blood flows again giving a little boost to the misfiring nerves and making the tingling seem worse, but eventually, the nerve signals begin to flow properly again. Yet, as far as I know, nothing is cutting off circulation." "SO YOU DON'T FEEL THIS?" He pinches the skin. "Feel what?" "HMMM...HOW ABOUT THIS?" He stabs into the flesh with the points of his finger bones, drawing slight blood. "A little bit. Not a lot, but a little." "INTERESTING. IS IT JUST THE LEGS? CAN YOU MOVE THEM?" "I don't know. The top half feels fine. This could be a temporary paralysis. Right?" "HMMM...IT COULD BE STRESS RELATED. TOO MUCH MENTAL CRAP CAN EFFECT THE BODY PHYSICALLY." "Damn it...*sigh* Human bodies are so lame!" "NOW I WOULDN'T SAY THAT..." Carefully, he removes his fingertips from my skin and rubs tenderly into it. Seeing if he can "JUST LOOK AT YOURSELF. WHEN WE FIRST MET, YOU WERE FAR FROM THIS STRONG BUCK THAT YOU ARE NOW." "You do know that bucks are male deer, right?" "DON'T CARE, MY POINT STILL STANDS. YOU WERE A GLOB OF FRESH CLAY, READY TO BE MOLDED INTO ANYTHING. AND WITH MY GUIDANCE, YOU HAVE BECOME SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST NORMAL RUN ON YOUR BRAIN KIND OF GIRL. YOU'VE GOTTEN A BODY THAT ONLY THE STRONG CAN GET AND IT SHOWS. MMMM DOES IT SHOW..." "Uh, what?" "YOU'VE BECOME SO TONED. SO WELL DEFINED. EACH STRONG MUSCLE CAREFULLY HONED TO BE POWERFUL AND YET DESCRET. NO ONE CAN TELL BY LOOKING AT YOU JUST HOW STRONG YOU REALLY ARE. THAT IS OF COURSE, TILL THEY FUCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO KICK SOME ASS." "But you're wrong." "HUH?" "I've always been strong. Muscles mean nothing compared to inner strength. Sure, you can't pick up heavy shit with inner strength, but you can carry the weight of the world and all its troubles with it. And that's the strength I've ever needed." There is silence for a time. "ARE YOU OKAY? NOT BULLSHITTING OR ANYTHING, I'M LEGITIMATELY ASKING IF YOU'RE ALRIGHT." "Regardless of my answer, you won't believe me. Besides, any issues I have I'll discuss with Professor Stretch. After all, he is the psychology professor." "SO, WHAT? YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN CONFIDE IN ME?" "Why? What's it to you?" "BECAUSE I CARE, DAMN IT!" I'm rendered stunned as he drops my leg and pulls me to his chest from behind. "S-sir?" "YOU STUPID GIRL. WE'VE SPENT THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS TOGETHER. ARE YOU REALLY TRYING TO TELL ME THAT YOU DON'T SEE ME AS ANYTHING MORE THAN JUST YOUR TEACHER?" "Pain...That's not it." "THEN TELL ME. TALK TO ME. I AM MORE THAN JUST A COACH. I'VE HELPED TO MAKE YOU INTO WHAT YOU ARE NOW. SO SPEAK TO ME." "I can't." "WHY NOT?!" "Because I like you!" Oh, the awkwardness. "Y-YOU...LIKE ME?" "*sigh*...Yeah." "WOW. YOU SOUND REAL HAPPY ABOUT IT." "I'm sorry. I don't mean it like that. As bad as it makes me sound like a cheesy high school sitcom cliché, but I suck when it comes to feelings and junk. I've never really been able to express myself without worrying about the consequences, so I end up bottling my feelings and tossing that bottle far into bottomless abyss that is my subconscious. Yet lately that's getting harder to do." "OH? DO TELL." If I could move I'd so be trying to flee right now. "I tend to dream of things." "REALLY? WHAT KIND OF...THINGS~?" There's a teasing air to his voice and it makes me want to cringe at how vulnerable I am. "DO YOU DREAM OF ME? ARE THESE DREAMS NAUGHTY~?" "Don't be so cocky." "THAT DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION." "I don't have to answer if I don't want to." "FINE. BUT THAT JUST TELLS ME THAT YOU, NO PUN INTENDED, HAVE WET DREAMS OF ME." I'm used to his brother and some of my other friends making puns, so of course, this makes me snicker. "Well, I will say some of them really made a splash." That makes him blush with a cringe. "DID YOU REALLY NEED TO MAKE A PUN?" "Oh no, am I in hot water?" "STOP IT." "No need to boil over sir." "STOP." "Wow, you look steamed." "I SAID STOP!" "Or what?" "OR THIS!" Tilting my head towards him, he slams his mouth to mine and shuts me up. It takes a moment for my brain to register what is happening and another moment to realize I'm kissing him back, not that he seems to mind by the sound of him softly moaning in content. Slowly he pulls back, letting the feeling linger on my lips and to take in the satisfaction of having me blush so hard. "HAD I KNOWN IT WAS THIS EASY TO RENDER YOU SPEECHLESS, I WOULD'VE DONE SO MUCH SOONER." "Not sure if you're flirting or just being honest there." "A BIT OF BOTH. BUT IF I WERE TO TRUELY FLIRT, YOU WOULDN'T STAND A CHANCE IN BEING ABLE TO CONTROL YOURSELF." "*scoff* You're ego is so massive it's truly what is filling this pool." "HEH HEH...CUTE." "Don't call me cute." I scoop up some water and swing it at his face. Pain gasps and stumbles backward, letting me go as I keep splashing him as I move back to the pool wall for support. My legs still won't respond but I can at least somewhat stand on them. Suddenly, he retaliates with a splash of his own across the surface to push a large wave over me, a daring look in his glowing indigo eyes. I know that look, that's the look of someone about to do something stupid. So before he can make another move, I retaliate with more splashes of my own. Thus a war begins. He laughs with a grin as we keep splashing each other over and over again. It's getting harder to shield myself with one arm, but I do my best to splash back in defiance, even if it's sloppy. Part of me feels like a child at a playground, completely letting loose by playing this up more and more as you give in to the way this feels. I can't remember the last time I simply went with the flow and enjoyed the moment. Eventually, he stops mercilessly splashing me as he's managed to bring himself closer to me and the room for splashing is now too limited. My back now firmly pressed to the wall, water dripping off my flushed face, and an ethereal luminescent glow from the light of his eyes colors the rippling surface of the water. It's only after making eye contact does he brings his hands down on either side of me, caging me with no escape and I feel his breath on me as he leans in closer, keeping his eyes locked on mine. "YOU CAN BE A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS WHEN YOU WANT TO BE, YOU KNOW THAT?" I blink a few times before snickering. "And you're a literal Pain. But for real, if that's an example of you flirting than you really need to bone up on your studies." He sighs and headbutts me, earning him a yelp from me and surprise from how loud the clacking sound was. "What the fuck was that for?!" "FIRST OFF, THAT WAS FOR BEING STUPID AND FOR MAKING PUN OF ME. AND SECOND, I HAVE YET BEGUN TO FLIRT." "Oh, then, by all means, coach casanova, woo me. I'd like to see something more romantic than a skull bashing." "YOU MOCK ME NOW, BUT LET IT BE KNOWN I DID WARN YOU AHEAD OF TIME." "Yeah-yeah. Whatever you say, sir." Bringing his hands up, he cups my face in his palms. The callous structure of his fingers slowly grazing over my cheekbones as his eyes follow this movement, enjoying the softness of skin on his fingertips. I try not to show any emotion from his actions, having seen this as a contest of wills, if he really wishes to court me then he has to earn it...But what's a contest without a little competition? My hands pierce through the water and gently hold his face, copying his movements. I see in his eyes that look I know all too well from training with him, that never back down and never surrender look. Oh, it is so on! "I thought you were going to flirt with me?" "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS." He pulls us together like magnets and I close my eyes as my lips press over his mouth. Even though we have kissed but a short time ago, nothing has made an impact more than the deep kiss we share now. It's as if the world has fallen away from beneath me, the water has dissipated in the air, and the only thing that matters is this simple action, locking us together in silent agreement that everything has changed. Nothing feels as heavy and as powerful as this. As I hold him gently between my palms, pressing him closer and deeper to me as I part my lips, I sigh with content as I slowly move over his mouth with my own, completely drinking him in much to his enjoyment. "MMMM...MY CHARM HAS GOTTEN TO YOU ALREADY I SEE~" "Heheh...Not quite. You're not the only one that knows how to make someone swoon~." "IS THAT A CHALLENGE~?" "You bet your bony ass it is~." "WELL THEN...CHALLENGE ACCEPTED~!" He pushes against me in response. I find myself leaning back against the wall as he suddenly leads the way in our little battle's dance, almost as if he's quickly able to let loose everything he's held back for who knows how long. Now with the lines of student and teacher have been forgotten, he's finally able to show me exactly what he's been thinking of when he watches me workout. And it takes all the strength within me to stop my eyes from flying open in surprise as his kiss paces from kindly gradual to passionate and teasingly demanding. Suddenly, I realize I'm sinking further into the water as my legs are beginning to bend, but that's when he grabs a firm hold of my shoulders and pulls me closer to him. And by the way his hands are clawing at my skin, I can tell that he has no intention of letting me go anytime soon...Which I don't mind one bit. "Thank you." "IT'S LIKE I TELL YOU EVERY TIME WE TRAIN...I'VE GOT YOU." "Awww...Then allow me to return the favor~." I wrap my arms around his neck and heatedly kiss him with passion. His hand snakes away from my shoulder to bury itself deep in my hair and pushes me against his mouth as he guides my lips apart, filling it completely with his tongue. My mind is starting to haze and dip into the unknown. I feel heart begin to pound as my hands start to wander, trembling fingers find their way to caress the back of his skull while others lace themselves in the vertebrae of his neck and tickle each bone with careful interest. He kisses like he's waited for this from the very beginning and vaguely I wonder if this is true. But no coherent thought is found as he seizes me completely to his control. "SUCH A GOOD GIRL...MMMMMM...I'LL MAKE YOU MINE~." "I'd enjoy it if you try...Sans~." Dropping his teaching name to speak his true name in such a sultry tone sets him off. He urgently tugs my hair back, throwing my head back as my lips break away from his. I gasp a breathless plead for more but am quickly stifled into silence as he grazes his mouth over the skin of my neck until he bites a responsive area that forces a moan out of me. My fingers dig into his bones as he moves his mouth over the skin, biting and sucking at that one sensitive spot that is driving me insane! Just barely I can feel my toes curl and my eyes flutter at the feelings he is giving me. Damn it, he's gotten to me so easily with this neck action and I hate that I'm giving into it! But after a good amount of time, he gradually pulls back to glance at the mark he's made and stares at the physical proof that he's scathed my skin. He sharply sucks air in through his teeth with a shaky shudder. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW CLOSE I CAME TO CLAIMING YOU. TO FUSE SOME OF MY MAGIC INTO YOUR FLESH FOR ALL TO SEE THAT YOU BELONG SOLELY TO ME." "What stopped you?" "TO QUOTE YOU, MY INNER STRENGHT. TO MARK SOMEONE AS A MATE IS NOT A THING TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. THINK OF IT AS THE MONSTER EQUIVALENT OF A HUMAN MARITAL CONTRACT." I just stare at him. "Yeah...No do that, please. That's too big a leap." "NO SHIT. IT'S WHY I HELD BACK. WHO DO YOU TAKE ME FOR? MY BROTHER PAPYRUS?" "Hey, Slim is a great guy. And he does a lot to make you happy, lay off him." "LAY OFF HIM? ...FINE." "Really? Wow, I didn't think it was that easy." "THAT'S NOT IT." "Then...What's up?" He leans forward to press his mouth against my ear, catching the edge of the lobe away from the earrings between his sharp teeth as his wandering fingers gradually wade through the water and slide down the curves of my body. "I'D MUCH RATHER LAY ON YOU INSTEAD~." I pout at his remark but close my eyes anyway and try to relax to his attention. "YOU WORK SO HARD. IT'S MADE YOU SO TENSE. LET ME TAKE THAT AWAY. LET ME MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. LET ME HEAL YOU~." He lets loose a throaty groan against in my ear as he slips his digits past the hem of my gym shorts and slowly pushes his hands along my thighs, making me shiver. Maybe he has a point. Not about the sex stuff, but other thing. If my current pain and paralysis are stress related from being wound up so tight, then perhaps a little physical release wouldn't hurt. It's worth a shot at the very least. "Okay. But be gentle with me. I'm, um...Inexperienced in this kind of stuff." I feel so embarrassed, and the look he has only makes it worse. "YOU'RE A VIRGIN?" I just nod. "OH...WELL THEN...I SHALL DO MY BEST. BUT ONLY IF YOU GIVE ME THE OKAY." I'm taken by surprise by his kind yet roguish eyes and it fills me with warm trust. "I give you consent." "VERY WELL THEN. YOU JUST RELAX AND I'LL TAKE CAKE OF YOU. BUT JUST A HEADS UP, THIS MIGHT GET...INTENSE." I can tell in the raw tone of his voice that he's not lying and I mentally brace myself for things to come. His hand dives deeper, going into my panties and I hold him tighter in shock which makes him snicker. For a second, I wonder what's wrong with my body as this weird feeling is stirring inside me, and right now I'm not if I should say anything about it. But before I can find the words I want to speak, a sudden unrelenting force is pushed between the folds of my sex, moving expertly over my clit and almost instantly a sharp intensive bout of pleasure pierces through every inch of my body as I tremble beneath his fingers. "Oh...oohh...oooohh...!" The pool water makes his fingers slippery and fast, penetrating me without difficulty to massage my insides, all while I uncontrollably arch further into him. My entire body tingles like lightning, the incredible strength in my core is pulsating harder and harder, threatening to take me to all new ethereal levels the likes of which I've never known before. He watches intently, eating up my building pleasure and taking pride in that it's all because of him. He licks his teeth hungrily as his voice rips through his throat in a low growl. "CAN YOU FEEL IT YET? THAT BURING NEED DEEP INSIDE. A FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS MISSING AND YOU HAVE TO GET IT TO BE COMPLETE. YOU FEEL IT, YES?" "Yes! Please...I need it!" "HEH HEH HEH...GOOD GIRL. MMMMMM...YOUR VOICE IS SO ATTRACTIVE WHEN YOU'RE NEEDY. BUT I BET IT SOUNDS EVEN BETTER WHEN YOU MOAN~." His movements become less teasing and gradually get faster into the perfect rhythm. I feel my heart pumping with fiery blood as I quietly plead for mercy in silent whispers. "OH NO, THAT WON'T DO. I WANT TO HEAR YOU. YOUR PLEASURE. YOUR NEED. GIVE ME WHAT I WANT." "P-pain...P-please..." "TUT TUT, NAUGHTY GIRL. THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID." He pinches my clit and I scream. "Sans!" "*deep chuckle* MUCH BETTER. NOW...LISTEN AND DO AS I SAY. CUM FOR ME." I'm so used to obeying him, be it from school or personal training, that when he gave that command my muscles tighten and the heaviness in my core suddenly burst into an intense explosion of bliss. Sweat blends into the water as it drips off my quivering body. I claw my fingertips over the back of his shoulders while trembling against him, riding the waves of my first climax amongst the small waves of the water bump us. "Fuuuuck...Is this real life?" I sound messed up, words come out in garbled low moans that are just barely coherent. This just makes him laugh. "THAT, MY DEAR, IS WHAT IS CALLED AN ORGASM." "*mumbles* You have magic fingers. *drunken giggles*" "TELL ME...WOULD YOU LIKE TO FEEL THAT AGAIN?" "Oooh, pretty please?" "EAGER THING YOU ARE. I LIKE THAT~. SO DON'T WORRY, MY LOVE DRUNK PET, I INTEND TO GIVE YOU THAT AND SO MUCH MORE~." His fingers slip out of me and he pulls my shorts down along with the underwear before doing the same to himself, revealing his magic indigo member which lights up the pool even more. I'm so sensitive still, the movement of the water alone as he helps to get this ready has me mewling and it spurns him on to do this even more. "HOW ARE YOUR LEGS? ANY BETTER?" "I can move my feet, but my knees are still weak." "YOU'RE WELCOME." I laugh at his cockiness as he skims his hands over my thighs then lifts me up just a little higher against the pool wall for better bracing. I keep his lustful gaze as I clutch onto his shoulders and he moves my legs apart. Now in position, his hands float beneath me as I'm held at an agonizingly close distance from him and now there's only one thing left to do. He eyes me with desire, I nod once more in case he needed to know again that this was alright with me, and with that acknowledged...It happens. He enters me. "O-Oh fuck..." "THAT SEEMS TO BE YOUR FAVORITE WORD." "Don't mock, just bone." "FINE. BUT YOU HAVE TO STOP MAKING PUNS." "Deal." He buries his face against the base of my neck, catching shoulder skin between his teeth as he groans and slowly grinds into me at a slow pace. Every small thrust, every tiny jab he makes within me is met with a powerful response deep in my abdomen. My fingers draw lines over the back of his skull, his hands grab a tight hold of my thighs, and I stifle the urge to scream as the head of his erection suddenly hits a bundle of nerves deep inside. "Oooh shit...Sans...Why are you so big?" "ALL THE BETTER TO FUCK YOU WITH, MY DEAR~." I'd smart off about that if I wasn't chocking on moans. My sex is as sensitive as I've ever felt it before, and it's driving me crazy! And I wouldn't mind it if it weren't for his smug expression. "YEAH...THAT'S MY GIRL...MMMMMM...YOU LIKE BEING FULL...OOOOOH...I LIKE FILLING YOU TOO...GOD, YOU FEEL SO GOOD ON ME..." "All the better to please you, sir~." "SO NAUGHTY. YOU CAN KEEP IT UP SO LONG AS YOU OBEY." "I can try, but I make no promises~." "GOOD. *shudders* SO GOOD...GOING TO PICK UP THE PACE..." His thrusts gradually speed up, faster then faster, filling me more and more, sending my mind into space at the feel his length grazing the sensitive nerves in my core. Never have I experienced something as powerful and as intense as when he thrusts into me, faster, harder...Losing all sense of himself in me, his tongue hanging carelessly out his mouth and the sight of his contorted expression, burning bright with an indigo flush setting his face aglow, sends me careening over the edge. "Sans...I'm...Ooooh...I'm close. Sans...Aaah!" "SAY IT AGAIN. *groan* SAY MY NAME. TELL ME WHO YOU BELONG TO. WHO IS GIVING YOU SO MUCH PLEASURE!" He orders, pushing himself mercilessly into me until the feelings stirring deep within me start to spiral deliciously between my legs and he can barely take looking at my submissive expression. Gasping out whimpers as drool trails indiscreetly out my can't seem to shut mouth and my eyes rolling back in pleasure, yeah, I'm a mess. His raw voice is laced with uncontrollable lust as he grips a hold of my waist in his impossibly strong skeletal arms. I grasp a tight hold of him, nails digging into his bones as I leave lines over his skeleton. A sharp gasp synchronizes with his harsh thrusts and in between the delicious rhythm of his movements, I try my best to make sense of my spiraling thoughts to answer him. "Sans! Saaahns...S-sans..." This is it. I can feel climax coming, reaching to its absolute limits, and Pain feels it too. His member pulsating with the urge to release. It's impossible now. He can't hold himself back any longer if he even was to begin with, not when he can feel my body tightening around him in all the right ways. Suddenly he cups my face in his hand as he forces me to look directly at him. In his sockets that at any other time are filled with annoyance and anger, there is unfathomable desire. In his eyes which normally can burn an everlasting hole in your soul, there's a passion to love me as tenderly as possible. I can feel it in his hands, holding me like I were fine marble. And the feeling of being wanted by him finally tips me off the fucking cliff. "CUM WITH ME. I WANT TO FEEL YOU MERGE WITH ME." If he spoke more, I know not. His words to me blur out with all other sound, everything goes silent and the world flashes out in blinding light before slowly coming back. My short visit to Heaven has me return to a sight that sets me off more. He releases everything he's held back from me all this time. He relentlessly fills my body with his magic sex juice as I feel my climax quivering tortuously over his member. The waves of the water crashing against the both of us as his fast-paced thrusts push them back and forth against our forms until we both stiffen, giving in to the intensive release of our orgasms. The sheer power of dual climax is like nothing I've ever experienced before. I'm careening through euphoric plains of being, as if I've shed away this human skin and fractured into millions of pieces against him, blending in with the water to melt into liquid. And as my mind spins alongside his, I wonder what has to be going on in that skull of his at this moment. A soft indigo light burns from within his chest, just as a weak pink light glows from within me. Through the misty haze of orgasm, I can see it clearly now. As our bodies connect, so do our souls. It's as if both of our forms have collided together, experiencing the ethereal feeling of sharing one existence. And I breathe deeply as if it's my last breath...I could get used to this. Thankfully Pain doesn't let go when I collapse on him. All the training and sex have me completely drained. My arms fall limply over his shoulders and his hands catch me in his embrace. He's so warm, in a wet and comforting sort of way. But deep down I know he's still a ball busting tight ass that likes to make me mad so I can try to prove him wrong. Funny how now I see that as incredibly sweet. It will probably still piss me off, but it's still sweet of him. It shows he cares. And if he's willing to do so, then so should I. I press my lips against his neck vertebrae and smirk when his bones heat up in response. I delight in the synchronized pace of our heavy breathing. We're both spent but most likely yearning for more. It's too little and too much all at once. But we do need rest. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised. Best save the fun for later for now. I affectionately hold him close to my trembling body, eventually feeling his length fade away from deep inside me as he makes his way over to the ladder and with one swift motion he lifts me out of the water onto the side of the pool so I don't drown from muscular exhaustion. He wasn't kidding about having a strong body for a skeleton. "I TAKE IT YOU CAN AND CAN'T MOVE NOW." "*yawn* Pretty much." "WE SHOULD ADD THIS TO OUR TRAINING REGIMENT." "Totally." He moves some hair from my face and rubs my cheek, making me smile. "BE RIGHT BACK, TOUGH GIRL. I CAN'T TAKE YOU HOME WITHOUT YOUR PANTS, NOW CAN I?" I giggle with a weak nod and push myself further away from the pool before I pass out, but in my last moments of consciousness, I see him dive into the water and pop back up to proudly hold up my panties. Oh my god...He's fucking adorable! That's it, I've made up my mind indefinitely now. I'm in love with you, Pain. Nothing will ever be able to change this fact, even if you tried.

My guess at how ancient werewolf culture handled what Noblesse calls ‘authority’ is that who can beat who in a fight is no basis for a system of government. So either werewolf society was always a complete crab bucket mess or that wasn’t actually how it worked, in the same way the Noble Lord doesn’t take power because they’re the smartest by scheming ala Maduke, but they’re entrusted with power by the people because they’re considered the best for the job.
So... assuming that the werewolves are reasonably intelligent people when not brainwashed by fascism, what would make ‘the strongest’ the best for the job? And not simply the best, singular, but ‘werewolf warriors’ as a social class?
Normally in functional societies, the military does not rule because you can’t run a society like a military for the same reason you can’t have conventional forces do police work, and you can’t run a military like a civilian society for the same reason - people die. People tend to apply the problem solving methods they know and someone trying to use bits of both methods would suck at both, so ‘the people that run the military’ and ‘the people who run the society’ tend to become different people because the difference specializing like that makes is very dramatic.
Maduke’s rise to power is evidence of that, really - Muzaka has the skillset and mindset of a werewolf warrior, but that is not what you need to run a society. The Previous Lord gives Muzaka a ‘the reason you need to get your act together’ speech about how even given what Muzaka thought was going on, his actions were not what a ruler would owe his people in the circumstances Muzaka thought pertained. In other words, even if Maduke was telling the truth, Muzaka was still being an incompetent ruler and his people would have a right to depose him - so it’s canon that Muzaka sucked at his job, the question is that since we the reader know he wasn’t just irresponsible, either A. he was just dumb or B. he was a trained werewolf warrior and that was not the philosophy needed to be a competent head of state.
On the other hand, Maduke is equally incompetent as a warrior - his idea of how to get stronger is discussed by two (or three) different veterans as actively making the subject weaker because that’s not how it works. Despite being very good at what he does, Maduke makes just as terrible a warlord as Muzaka does a president. So Maduke is evidence that Muzaka being a fail politician doesn’t mean he’s not good at what he was trained to do - and then we get the current werewolf arc, which is the kind of action you’d have military doing, and suddenly Muzaka is badass... until confronted with Maduke moving the battleground to public opinion, where he’s once again incompetent.
I’d say that what happened is likely a change in the werewolves’ environment. Muzaka inherited a social model adapted to a certain set of circumstances, but something major happened - possibilities are the withdraw of the nobles and Rai’s brother - that made that ‘rule by warriors’ model no longer optimal because again, warriors suck at running civilian societies. The necessary approaches to each are completely incompatible.
Soooo... Why were the pre-Muzaka werewolves willing to be ruled by warriors despite the fact that warriors should not be making decisions for civilians outside wartime?
If they were at war.
However, who would they be at war with? Especially when the nobles seem to have viewed werewolves as a ‘police action’ matter - sometimes a problem, but never an actual threat. The only humans able to fight werewolves would have been contractors, too.
Then I start eyeing Gejutel, because the Landegre clan fighting style as described is terrible against nobles and only makes sense if it was developed as an anti-werewolf combat style.
Why would the ancient werewolves keep attacking human villages even with nobles there? Especially if they were on a wartime footing and that seems like an excellent way to pick a fight with a noble and die.
After this point a lot of it devolves into guesswork of the ‘given canon, that implies this, very strongly, so why the heck would this have come about?’
Whether it was territory or they had some reason they needed to eat humans (I’ll skip the ability spec), posit that the werewolves thought they had no choice but to attack human villages and their noble protectors.
Humans don’t like being eaten, and nobles didn’t like watching humans being eaten, so this becomes a major impetus for more contracts. Over time, humans get better and better at fighting off werewolves, and in terms of raw power, nobles used to beat werewolves.
Also humans are better hunters than werewolves I’m assuming, because tactics - see Frankenstein.
So, the werewolves had to organize too. But more than that, they had to train, because that was the only way to get good enough to deal with an enemy constantly getting stronger and constantly throwing new tactical surprises at them.
So you get a specialized warrior caste and a greatful populace of the ‘you saved my life’ persuasion.
We’re told that werewolves are by nature solitary.
However, an organized force is never outnumbered by an unorganized force. In order to not die against humans, werewolves would have had to work together and that would have required beating Leeroy Jenkins/lone wolf tendencies out of each other. Training for teamwork, putting the survival of the people over the individual... anyone who thinks they’re above the rest of the team is putting everyone in danger, so I’m betting uppity people got ditched on the battlefield before the rest of the warriors got dead.
So you essentially end up with warrior monks, dedicated to training because otherwise they die, very smart because they have to be able to think in their feet or die, and more selfless than a very individualistic species because otherwise they die...
And everyone else going ‘I owe you my life’ to these people, meaning they have a lot of popular support if they speak up at the enclave, or see a need to call in favors. I suspect the urge to micromanage other werewolves was suppressed by the need to be constantly training and peer pressure/the development of the way of life/ideology.
Not saying there weren’t jerk werewolf warriors, but no matter how strong they were they weren’t going to be able to win without help, and if they didn’t keep winning then people wouldn’t keep giving them obedience... Or, you know. The enemy killed them.
I’m drawing on Kentas’ decent traits a lot for this, because he was raised in a very toxic environment, so there must be a source for a lot of the ideas he has.
‘I did you a favor because you saved my life - if you want another favor, you’d better save my life again.’ Werewolf warriors who didn’t help the tribe had no pull. That creates a system with enough checks to not break down, that works well enough that people would keep going with it.
Now, werewolf lord. On the face of it, a terrible idea. Can’t run a stable society that way, especially among immortals. You’d think it would be a joke/token authority well before Maduke came along, so how the heck did Muzaka get the idea that his authority was absolute and people would just do what he said?
Maybe because there used to be a reason the werewolf lord got that kind of instant obedience?
The werewolf lord is supposed to be available to any werewolf who wants to challenge them, right?
And werewolves, from what we see in canon, get stronger when they’re pushed to their limits fighting to survive.
Unexpected power-ups on the battlefield are a great way to die due to suddenly not knowing what you’re doing, but if they could get power-ups off the battlefield, and then train to adjust to their new powers?
But... that would be really, really dangerous.
Say you’re trying to help a werewolf power up. They need to be desperately trying to kill you for it to work, so you need to be good enough to push them hard without killing them... or them killing you. When they’re desperate and ideally won’t know their own strength in the fight, so it’s very easy for a blow to suddenly be twice as strong as what you braced yourself to block...
It would take someone very strong, very smart, and very very good and skilled to help other werewolves power-up, but those werewolves would owe them their lives if that power-up saved their lives on the battlefield.
So the ‘trainer in chief’ gets warrior status among the warriors, and more than that - because of how dangerous the job is, they’re risking their life literally every day to protect the werewolves. That’d take someone rather selfless - a strong but selfish person would not want to die.
So... the Werewolf Lord only remains Lord as long as they continue to do their job - accepting all challengers and giving them carefully calibrated beat-downs (and it’s harder to fight to subdue than kill). This means that in order to keep making werewolves strong, the werewolf lord really needs to focus on training.
I’m wondering if Muzaka was making himself hard to track down because he knew that Maduke’s supporters were brats and if he made them stronger they’d just attack a noble and if they were actually a threat the noble might kill the pup. It was his job as Lord to save the lives of warriors like Grue and Gaitan, but in their case he was saving them by not making them stronger.
That might be why people keep repeating ‘he’s making us stronger’ when arguing that Maduke is a legitimate werewolf Lord.’ He’s doing the job of a werewolf Lord, right?
...only instead of doing it in a way that proves he’s willing to sacrifice his life to protect the family, he’s sacrificing other people’s lives.
Original werewolf lord: ‘We honor you because you prove every day that you care more about doing what’s best for the family than your own life.’
Maduke: ‘We obey you because otherwise we’ll get taken away in the night... I mean, he gives us power! That’s what a werewolf lord does, right! I’m totally a warrior and the family should respect and worship me because I’m strong. What does it matter that the power comes from the family’s sacrifice instead of self-sacrifice?’’
Werewolf society used ‘power’ as a measure of worthiness because given how werewolves got strong, having power required that the person possess certain traits and work for the public good.
Then someone found a way to get power by leeching off others instead, and their society has yet to redefine ‘power = evil.’ Or at least Kentas didn’t realize that was the new reality until now, but I’m betting however many common people are left are going to think of werewolf warriors the way humans who know about them think of the Union
...it’s very likely that in future, strong werewolves are going to get looked at suspiciously, because the civilian werewolves have centuries of ‘strong werewolf = utter bastard.’ There’s almost certainly going to be a rejection of the warrior ethos despite the fact Maduke was in reality spitting on that moral system and tradition, the way the swastika has become a symbol of evil because it was co-opted by murdering fascists.
Given what we’ve seen of the Ru Clan, they fit the werewolf warrior ethos, so I like to joke that they were werewolf weeaboos. Anthropologists wanting to learn about werewolf culture/future werewolves wanting to regain/restore the dignity of their heritage will end up needing to learn about how werewolves once acted by observing nobles, which... has happened IRL a lot, come to think of it, because traditional practices that got stamped out among natives were a-ok for white hobbyists. I was reading an article in a magazine re. some guy in North Dakota who a lot of Native Americans go to in order to learn traditional crafts that weren’t passed down in their families ‘thanks’ to schools etc.
So... it’s good that someone in the Noblesse ‘verse is probably passing down the werewolf training methods that Kentas probably had to reinvent a lot of so future werewolves will get them back someday if the species survives, but sad that Maduke would have wiped out most of his own people’s culture deliberately in order to form them in his image... which is what people like that do.

Irish Preview: Doyen to edge the battle Please share.
Nick Seddon previews the Grade 1 Lawlor’s of Naas Novice Hurdle, due to take place at Naas on Sunday, and picks out his best bet in the race.
Established in 1983, Sunday’s Grade 1 Lawlor’s of Naas Novice Hurdle (registered at the Slaney Novice Hurdle) has been won by some big names in recent years, including the top-class chaser Bellshill, who prevailed three years ago, and the 2016 Grand National winner Rule The World, who won this back in 2013. Mullins and Elliott pair set to dominate Willie Mullins has trained four of the past five winners of this race, including last year’s winner Next Destination, who went on to win the Grade 1 Novice Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival last April, and he looks to have leading claims of winning it once again with Tornado Flyer, who has a “large P” attached to his Freebetalerts.com rating. Tornado Flyer was a smart bumper performer in three starts last season, with his only defeat coming when third in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, and he made a highly promising start to his hurdling career when winning at Punchestown last month, needing only to be kept up to his work late on to score by two and three quarter lengths. He is destined for much bigger things in this sphere, looking certain to take high rank amongst this season’s novice hurdlers, and is a key player in this. Alongside the dominant Mullins, the only other trainer to have won this race in the past five years is, unsurprisingly, Gordon Elliott. He too sends a very exciting novice hurdler in the form of Battleoverdoyen, who triumphed by 13 lengths on hurdling debut at Navan last month. He has previously won a bumper at Punchestown the previous month, and like Tornado Flyer, he also has a “large P” attached to his Freebetalerts.com rating. Both Battleoverdoyen and Tornado Flyer are fine prospects in the division, and it’s very difficult to split them, with the two separated by just 1 lb on Freebetalerts.com ratings – the former coming out on top. Regardless of who wins, however, it is likely that both will be key players at the spring festivals.
Eye-popping stuff this – Battleoverdoyen 🚀pic.twitter.com/4NP9bfKW4z — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) December 16, 2018
Big two have plenty of cards to play Mullins has a total of three runners in the race, and boasts two more good prospects in Come To Me and Getareason. The latter began his season back in August, and as a result is more exposed than the majority of his opponents, having had six starts over timber to date. He has shown solid form so far, producing a useful effort to finish second in a Grade 2 contest at Navan last month, though he may need further to be seen to best effect. Come To Me has had just two starts over hurdles, and got off the mark in this sphere at the second attempt at Cork last month, travelling well and in control when left clear two out. He looks well worth a try in graded level, and whilst he isn’t perhaps open to as much improvement as the two main protagonists, he is a good prospect in his own right. Elliott also has more than one runner in this field, and sends Commander of Fleet, who won a novice contest in good style at Punchestown in November, before finding Grade 1 company too tough at Fairyhouse last month. Whilst the step back up to two and a half miles will suit, he will need to improve again if he is to have serious claims of taking this.
Remaining challengers Away from Elliott and Mullins, the trainer who looks to have the best chance of wrestling this away from the big two is Joseph O’Brien, who runs Lone Wolf. A winner of a bumper at the Punchestown Festival last April, Lone Wolf returned from an absence to make a winning debut over hurdles at Fairyhouse last month, only picking up the lead in the final 100 yards, but winning readily. He looks open to improvement in this sphere, as does the five-year-old Sams Profile, who shaped well on his first try over three miles in a Grade 3 contest at Cork last month, finishing second. He looked unlucky to be beaten by four lengths by subsequent Grade 2 winner Derrinross that day, his inexperience and a steady pace working against him, and he remains an exciting prospect. The field is completed by Magnium and First Approach, both of whom have plenty to find if they are to get involved. Magnium showed some useful form when placing in a pair of Grade 3 contests at Navan in November, but the way he backed out of the argument in Grade 2 company at the same track last time suggests he will find this too tough. First Approach was behind Magnium in the second of those Grade 3s, and whilst he is open to improvement yet, two and three quarter miles looks to suit him better. Conclusion It is very difficult indeed to separate Tornado Flyer and Battleoverdoyen, who are both very exciting prospects in the division. The latter has a very narrow edge on Freebetalerts.com ratings, and shades the verdict considering that he looked out of the top drawer when winning at Navan 3 weeks ago – though this is likely to prove to be a highly informative contest. Of the remainder, Come To Me looks most likely to take the final place on offer.
