Chapter 186 185: Test (Anput)

---

Before I start, I had gone back in not only Servant System but also my other works and found a common theme with some of my characters...

Some people here want Jahi to eventually be topped and treated like a woman; y'know, penetrated.

I never truly gave an answer, and I imagine some will be disappointed when I say this; I have certain characters who will just... never get topped?

Jahi is one of them; she will always be the 'man' in the relationship, and the idea of taking the female role in sex doesn't sit well with her, same goes for some of my other characters.

It's a mix of what I think the characters that I've created would want, and also my own preference; I see her as a purely dominant top, who only gives, and never takes.

Just wanted that out there so people aren't waiting eternally for Jahi to have the roles reversed on her.

Anput PoV

Taking a deep breath, I glanced down at the longsword in my hand, the wooden blade making me frown slightly.

The weight was wrong.

The edge wasn't as straight as my blade.

The balance was horrendous.

It irked me, having such an inferior blade in my hand, but...

Looking up at the spinning Demoness, I let out a wry chuckle.

If I feel that way, Jahi should have it worse; after all, my blade wasn't made to fit me, it was just a general blade.

Hers was a masterpiece, a never before seen blade forged solely for her.

Its heavy weight, impeccable balance, dual metal blade, and extreme length was made for a person of her stature, and few would be capable of wielding it the same as she did.

So, I shook my thoughts from my head as I twirled the sword in my hands, familiarizing myself with it as best I could.

After all, I had a bet I needed to win.

Jahi had levied a bet against me, and the stakes were large for both of us.

Firstly, the bet was that I could or couldn't 'win' against Professor Thorn; the 'win' condition was that I needed to land a lethal blow on the man during our spar.

As for the stakes...

Recalling her demand, I felt my face flush hard.

She wanted to leash me and walk me around in our backyard, forcing me to be her loyal, trained puppy.

Which...

Feeling a heat rising throughout my body, I trembled in mild anticipation.

Shaking my head again, I stamped down on that heat.

I needed to win.

If I won, she would give me an extra 5% every time we went down into the Caverns, which, while it wasn't a lot, that 5% would allow me to start funding my own goals.

Before, I had wanted to simply collect various weapons for my own use, but after Jahi let me wield her own blade, my desires changed.

I wanted to forge my own collection.

Which is why I needed to win; I needed it more than the insane pleasure my wife could offer me.

So, I stared at the strained Bearkin before me, barely being able to block the flurry of blows that Jahi sent his way.

He struggled against speed then.

Continuing to take in his fight, I grinned as Jahi leveled her blade against his throat, ending the match.

Walking away, Jahi smirked down at me, her amethyst eyes alight with mirth as she said "Think you can manage, pup?"

Even as a blush rose to my cheeks, I gave her a cocky grin, saying "If you could do it, so can I."

Her smirk widened, and she gently ruffled my ears, muttering "I hope you're not all bark no bite."

My grin widened, and I approached the Bearkin as he shouted "Next!"

Leaving my wife behind me, I stared at the sweat stained man, giving him a nod before lowering into a stance.

Spinning the new axe in his hands, Professor Thorn nodded back, before raising his weapon.

Taking that as a signal to start, I launched myself forwards, the air wrapping around me as I sped towards him, my blade raised.

His eyes widened slightly as I appeared before him, only to grunt as he raised his axe.

However, instead of the powerful and swift downswing he was anticipating, I leapt onto the handle of his axe, using it to catapult myself over his head.

He stared up at me as I spun above him, before he let out another grunt as he barely raised the haft of his axe to block my thrust.

Feeling the thud of my sword against his axe, I landed behind him and lowered myself, ducking under the horizontal swing he unleashed around himself.

As I crouched below him, I used my lowered stance to power my calves as I launched myself towards his bulky torso, my sword acting as the tip of my spear attack.

Although the Bearkin was a barrel chested man, he was surprisingly nimble, his footwork excellent as he barely spun away from the jab.

Using that momentum, I rolled forwards past his heavy slam, before spinning past another one.

Closing the gap again, I swung my sword towards the handle of his axe, forcing it to the side.

Freeing up a large opening, I grinned as I sent my palm hurtling forwards, towards his exposed abdomen.

The Bearkin's eyes were wide as he stumbled back a few feet, the solid thunk of my hand against his muscles echoing around the cavern.

Although my palm stung from such a blow, it made me grin as I saw him cough once, a thin stream of blood dribbling from his lips.

I had held back, of course, but a blow like that...

"D-Damn... hac... Y-You're a feisty one... Lady Anput... hac!"

Coughing again, he wiped the blood from his lips and grinned at me, hefting the large wooden axe in his hands again.

"Let's... keep going..!"

I nodded, returning to my low stance.

Taking careful steps around him, I searched for an opening, all the while I felt my blood rushing in euphoric glee.

This was what I lived for.

This thrill.

The clash of blades, this dance of death...

It was exhilarating.

I stalked around the man, who followed me with his eyes, always keeping himself facing me directly.

Deciding to go for his legs, I grinned as I rushed forwards again, my blade held high.

his eyes tracked the blade as well as my own eyes, and I chuckled as they went wide.

Twisting my wrist to the side, I brought my sword down on the side of his knee, making him grunt as the wood thwacked against his bone.

Dancing away from the retaliation swing, I used that moment that his axe was on the ground to flicker forwards again, lancing my blade towards his heart.

However, his experience showed in that moment, as instead of attempting to block my sword, he swept my legs out from under me with the handle of his axe, before attempting to swing the blade down towards me.

Rolling away, I jumped to my feet and spun away from a thrust, making me grin.

"If I hadn't seen you use that against Jahi, I would've lost right there~"

The Bearkin chuckled, before grunting as my blade slammed against his again.

Closing the distance between us again, I slammed my knee into his gut before pulling back, returning to my circling of the coughing man.

Whittling down the strong with various hits before pulling away is the way of the Jackalkin, after all.

Smirking at him, I was about to slip forwards again when he presented a golden opportunity to me.

A risky one, but...

Golden nonetheless.

Thrusting his axe towards me at lightning speeds, his eyes widened again as he watched me.

Jumping above the thrust, I landed on his axe head and sprang forwards, my blade pointed straight towards his gullet.

At the last moment I tilted it to the side, letting it skid past his cheek, before my feet slammed into his chest, knocking him to the ground.

Flipping off his chest, I landed next to him, staring down at the man.

He was staring at me, panting, as he lay there, before a low chuckle escaped his lips.

"That... was damn impressive. You pass..."

Grinning at him, I helped the Bearkin to his feet before running over to Jahi, the large Demoness grinning widely at me.

Skidding to a halt before her, I lowered my head slightly and twitched my ears, moaning softly as her large hand fell onto my head.

Standing beside her was Kat and Leone, and the two women were staring at me in surprise.

However, my focus was entirely on the blue Demoness before me, and I was reveling in the affection she was giving me.

Grabbing the back of my head, she pulled me into her chest, and I nuzzled into her warmth, her sweet scent making my head go numb.

"Good girl... I guess it's my loss, huh?"

Her voice was low, barely a whisper, but it made me tremble.

Stroking my ears still, she continued in that low, raspy voice.

"Well, a deal is a deal, little pup... Though, I would like something in return; you wouldn't want to leave your wife out to dry now would you, pup?"

I shivered, before giving her a hesitant nod.

Not only was I going to get my extra coin, but she was also going to claim me again!?

How did I win so much!?

So, tests done.

We have two paths now; Jillian's letter, and the Caverns again.

Since we just had a large chunk of time dedicated to the Academy, I want to take us elsewhere for the moment.

Anyways, was Anput done well?
