Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Strength Test!
===
Opening her eyes, Adriana was slightly startled to discover several children around her, right after
"GOOD MORNING!!!" - Several joyful screams and laughter rang out, before the children ran away.
Adriana gave a light laugh, before sitting down, stretching, before leaving the room, finding some of the older daughters, practically naked, only wearing their underwear, some only in their panties and stuff like that.
It startled her a little, but it's a world full of women, so they should be pretty liberal about showing their breasts to other women.
She wasn't bothered or turned on or staring at the beautiful breasts, that would be pretty rude and she's already lived for almost 100 years, even though she's pretty active and excited to fuck, she's not the wild type who only thinks about sex... ok, she thinks about other things besides sex!
But she only looked at one when she appeared, the yawning and lethargic one who just woke up, Ajacky, those majestic chocolate breasts, she looked at Adriana on the way and said smiling cutely, to the point of reminding her of Ikiria . - "Good morning~"
Adriana smiled, Ajacky noticed something and blushed, before quickening her pace after waking up.
Laughing, Adriana went to wet her face to wake up too, before heading to the center of the village and looking around.
...
"I see, Ajacky can take you around, you can try to talk to the Village Chief, she can get you some work." - Said Jairi smiling gently and Adriana nodded.
An embarrassed Ajacky called after her, so Adriana followed her as they went to the center of the village, where it had the highest concentration of houses and other buildings.
Some of Ajacky's sisters wanted to come along, but their mothers stopped them, obviously having a lot on their minds.
Ajacky was walking ahead, face flushed and constantly lacing her fingers together, she didn't know what to say, as Adriana saw her almost naked, she had forgotten she was at her house.
Maybe if it was an ordinary visit, it wouldn't affect her so much, but with her sisters teasing her so much and her mothers talking about it, whether she wanted it or not, she saw Adriana as an ideal life partner!
"They are beautiful, if you are in doubt." - Adriana said calmly.
"They?" - Ajacky looked at him confused, not understanding.
"Your breasts, they are beautiful!" - Adriana said smiling, Ajacky widened her eyes and blushed more fiercely, not knowing how to respond.
"Isn't that why it's like this? Where I come from, it's common to compliment the other's breasts, even more so if it's true." - Adriana said smiling and giving a wink.
"Ah I understand thank you I guess as I've never seen yours, I can't say" - Said Ajacky blushing and then choking when she realized her insinuation.
"Oh, I see, next time I'll let you see them, but if you want to touch them, you'll have to reciprocate in kind." - Adriana said smiling and giving another wink.
Ajacky didn't know how to react, if this was just Adriana teasing her, or if she was really flirting with her, or both!
Adriana laughed, enjoying seeing Ajacky's confusion, so before they entered the center of the village she said.
- "I know what your mothers are planning, I really don't mind, I like the attention, it makes me feel special and wanted, but not wanting to be rude, the one that attracts me the most of all is you!"
Ajacky widened her eyes, opening her mouth, this is going too fast!
Laughing, Adriana advanced towards the village, Ajacky stood still for a while, before finally reacting and giving chase, blushing fiercely, but a sweet smile was on her full lips.
Adriana looked around, the houses are well organized and clean, with several markings on the ground, probably demarcating each land.
She got a lot of stares, as she is a stranger and the village is relatively small, hardly anyone would forget a beauty as tall and muscular as Adriana, not to mention that her baggy pants are quite exposing!
But as she is alone, not in the literal sense, since Ajacky accompanies her, but in the fact that she doesn't have any other unknown with her, those who are more attentive believe that she is an Adventurer or something.
That got her a lot of stares, Adriana asked Ajacky. - "Do you know where I can sell my Demonic Core?"
"Yes, follow me!" - Said Ajacky driving and Adriana followed him.
Soon they arrived at a larger building in the village, a house with a lot of children too, Adriana thinks she knows who it belongs to.
"Oh, little Aja and who would be your friend?" - Asked a beautiful woman with long ears and long golden hair.
"Mrs. Yasmim, this is Adriana, an adventurer who saved my life, she has a Demonic Core that she wants to sell!" - Said Ajacky respectfully and in a great mood.
"Oh, it is, please tell me, to avoid possible problems!" - Said Yasmim seriously, since Ajacky was very vague on a very important subject.
"I see, an unfortunate situation, luck that everything worked out, thanks to Aphrodite!" - Said Yasmim raising her palm and slightly closing her eyes, before returning to normal.
"Well, can I have a look?" - Asked Yasmim extending her palm to Adriana, who soon removed the Demonic Core.
Yasmine glanced over, closing her eyes slightly and nodding. - "Indeed, it belongs to a Volatile Bear, one that should have been quite strong since it was close to becoming a Mid-Level Demon Beast!"
After saying that, Yasmim looked with some astonishment at Adriana, who only smiled slightly, not seeming bothered.
"Well, I can give you 50 Gold Coins for this core, but if it's in a city, it's likely to be worth 80 Gold Coins or even more!" - Said Yasmine sincerely.
"I see, I'll sell it right here, I'm not in dire need of money." - Adriana said calmly.
Yasmine smiled contentedly, then left for a moment, before returning with a bag of coins and saying. - "Here are the 50 Gold Coins, please count them!"
"No need, I have confidence in you." - Adriana said smiling and putting the bag away.
Yasmim smiled happily, then sitting down she asked. - "Where does Adriana come from? I have never heard of such a capable hunter in this region with such a name."
"I come from a small Nation by the sea in the east, called Braast, I don't know if you've heard of it." - Adriana said calmly.
"Oh, to the east? In fact, I have not heard of it, but since it is by the sea, it is likely that it will have to go through the Deep Mountain Range, right?" - Asked Yasmin.
Adriana looked thoughtful and said. - "Yes!"
"So it's normal that I don't know, normally we have little information about the countries in that region, but traveling here should take months if you go around the Deep Mountain Range." - Said Yasmim curiously.
"In fact, I think it's around there, but I didn't come here by conventional means, I belonged to a group of adventurers and we were exploring an ancient ruin, they said that a brilliant Archmage and Alchemist made his home and tomb there, we went there in search of treasure, riches and knowledge, but one of my idiot companions stepped into a teleportation trap, I ended up in the exact spot and here I am!" - Said Adriana sighing bitterly.
"Wow, you must be desperate to get back to your nation, is there anything I can do to help you?" - Asked Yasmine gently.
"No need, I don't really feel like it, my family probably thinks I'm dead, that's even better, but I won't go into too much detail." - Adriana said smiling slightly.
"Understood you can stay in our village as long as you like, we have a few empty houses here in the village, we are preparing for future expansions as many of the young generation have started to raise their families." - Said Yasmim smiling invitingly.
Adriana nodded and said. - "It's not necessary, I'll stay a few days at Ajacky's house, before I better understand the environment I'm in and see what to do with my life, maybe become an adventurer around here, or even create a Mercenary group, I'll still see. "
"Oh, I understand, but if you're interested, I can recommend you for a good position in the army, someone of your abilities would be most welcome." - Said Yasmim with a sharp look.
"It is not necessary, in fact I prefer not to get too involved in politics or the military, I want to distance myself from my family roots." - Adriana said calmly.
Yasmim didn't say anything else about it, but asked several questions, about whether she has partners, what kind of girls she likes and the like.
Adriana was very sincere, saying that she has 3 suitors, but it will probably take a long time before she can find them again.
As for her type of women, Adriana said that she particularly likes those who have nice perks on her rear or breasts, as well as her well-toned body, but other than that, she's not the very demanding type.
Her words practically described Ajacky, Yasmine noticed it, Ajacky herself noticed it, making her blush.
Yasmim just smiled, but internally she was upset, since she had 2 daughters who fit that, but one of them is married and the other is a hermaphrodite, but she is thinking of taking a more military path.
But Yasmim thought about getting some of her other daughters closer to Adriana, she even thought about her nieces, some are single and fit her tastes.
After selling the Demonic Core, Adriana had money and with that, she wanted to see the surrounding stores, see what they sold.
A forge was run by some Dwarves and Orcs, Adriana had a look at what she had crafted and nothing special.
"Hey Hey hey! But what beauty is this here, who created it?" -A dwarf asked stopping Adriana and looking at the ax on her back, in the process she took a good look at Adriana's ass, but her main focus was the axe.
Adriana pulled him and proudly said. - "I myself, this is my masterpiece!"
"What? No way, there's no way a human at her age could create something this fantastic, you can feel the power just by looking at her!" - Said Dwarf with some disdain and disbelief, others agreeing with her.
"I don't care if you don't believe me, what matters is that I believe in myself and my upbringing here." - Adriana said calmly, exercising her AP on the axe, making a beautiful magic show for them.
"That" - The Dwarf was shocked.
"Since I don't trust the weapons that others have created for me that much, I started creating my own weapons that were more suitable for me, so my compatibility with this ax is perfect!" - Adriana said smiling and keeping it.
"So what did our forge come for?" - Asked a Dwarf with Orc blood.
Adriana looked at her and said. - "I just wanted to take a look at the quality of the items and their variety, just average."
"Your time! How dare you despise us!" - Shouted a dwarf furiously pointing at her.
"But whatever I say, to me, all forges that don't create Magic weapons are ordinary." - Adriana said innocently, none of them can refute that.
"If you really created it, how about showing us what you're capable of?" - Asked Dwarf manager snorting, but her real objective was another.
"Sorry, but I'm out of time and out of need to craft something, as it hasn't been many days since I crafted my axe." - Adriana said calmly.
She understood that the Dwarf in front of her wanted her to show off her abilities to give everyone inspiration and improve her capabilities.
Naturally, Adriana doesn't mind this, but she doesn't like to be used or manipulated in such a crude way!
Leaving the forge and ignoring some provocations, Adriana went to have a look at a clothing store, where knowing that winter would soon arrive, Adriana decided to buy some cold clothes for herself, since they were cheap and had a lot of varieties.
She even told Ajacky to choose some too, which she was shy about and didn't want to, but Adriana insisted and chose some for them.
And to avoid some complaints and pouts, Adriana went to a candy store, where she bought several sweets.
Afterwards she asked Ajacky to show her more of the village, where they met several people, many single women approaching to chat and flirt with Adriana.
Some of these women looked like Yasmine, needless to say more!
After spending some time exploring the village, Adriana and Ajacky returned home, where Adriana gave her gifts to all the excited little girls.
Ajacky with a flushed face, went to her room, which even though she shares it with some sisters, she has her private part and there she kept her new clothes.
This made him receive envious and jealous looks from his sisters.
Ajacky's mother was proud of her daughter, thinking that when she really likes someone, she won't show mercy, but little does she know that her daughter is as confused as a blind man in a gunfight.
It was Adriana who gave the initiative, but it's not like it was going to be explained to them.
Adriana managed to get rid of the kids, so she went to help Ajacky take care of the firewood, since she had never cut firewood before, Adriana was interested in trying it out.
She also wants to know how Ajacky is so strong, even though she asked around if she ever trained before, they all said the same: Ajacky only knows how to chop wood!
But that wouldn't explain how the hell she reached Tier 1, not to mention that whatever her Class is, it gives her 15 HP per level, maybe that's the System comparison, but the important thing is that she has something special.
Therefore, Adriana wants to know what it is, since looking around, she saw that the levels vary from 1~3, few are at 4~6, already those of Level 7 and above are the Village Soldiers or some Matriarchs that found.
But Ajacky, she has no training and is way above most, that doesn't make sense, which soon makes Adriana think that she has some kind of Celestial Constitution.
As soon as she stopped thinking about it, the System informed her that the Celestial Constitutions are mainly in worlds that have a lot of Chi practitioners, of course, there are variants, such as a "Mana Skeleton" or a "Dragon Heart", they are variants of the Constitution Heavenly.
Ajacky probably has something like that, which makes her a good target for recruitment, the problem is that Adriana doesn't like to play with other people's feelings.
Of course, having casual sex is one thing, but Ajacky is young and quite pure, she's not going to destroy the girl's life because she has a stronger body than most.
Adriana watched Ajacky, then was surprised as she watched her chop wood.
There was nothing too special initially, but as Adriana focused more on her senses, she noticed how the Mana flowed along with Ajacky's movements, even seeming to be guiding him towards the most efficient cutting of wood.
'This how is it possible? What is this?!' - Adriana was confused, but excited.
Ajacky also seemed absorbed in her work, her breathing was rhythmic, her own Mana entering her body, which made Adriana understand a little Ajacky is practicing a kind of Mana breathing technique, just like the Knights of Aura!
It impressed her, of course, it's pretty inefficient and instinctual, it just makes you sure she has something very special.
As soon as Adriana walked forward, Ajacky shuddered slightly and looked at her, confused as to why she was approaching so suddenly.
"Ajacky, I want you to attack me!" - Adriana said without hesitation.
"Oh?! What?!" - Ajacky was shocked, not understanding.
"Just attack me, there's no way you can hurt me anyway." - Adriana said calmly.
"Oh? Wait, no!" - Ajacky refused.
Adriana glared at her, before grabbing her ax and attacking her!
Ajacky widened her eyes and quickly defended herself with her axe, before looking at her desperately and saying. - "Adriana, please stop, you're making me scared!"
"Stop thinking and attack me, or I will keep attacking!" - Adriana said, hitting her by manifesting her Astral Energy, making her retreat several steps and almost fall.
"Oh, still standing? Impressive, now stop being soft and attack me!" - Said Adriana supporting her ax on her shoulder.
"But why?! What was it? Did I make you angry?!" - Asked Ajacky almost crying.
"Angry? You're going to make me angry if you don't start attacking me, stop wasting our time, I promise you it will be worth it." - Adriana said and advanced, attacking Ajacky again.
Ajacky clenched her teeth and defended herself, her eyes watering, but she didn't really want to attack, she didn't understand what was going on.
"ADRIANA!!!" - Juiri roared running fiercely and drawing a sword.
Clang!
Adriana defended, Juiri is only Level 28, but due to Adriana's advantages, she is far superior in strength.
"WHAT IS IT?!" - Juiri roared furiously.
"I just want to test your daughter, I'm curious about something, so can you make her attack me? I swear I won't hurt you." - Adriana said calmly.
Juiri frowned, not understanding. - "Just trust me, I think your daughter has something special, but she herself hasn't noticed it yet, I need to test this, I swear I'll make it up to you if I'm wrong." Adriana said calmly.
Hearing this, Juiri frowned, before stepping back and taking a good look at Adriana, indeed, it doesn't look like she wishes to harm her daughter, but...
Looking at the trembling Ajacky, she crouched down and said. - "Daughter, I know you're scared, don't worry, Adriana doesn't want to hurt you, this must be something in her family, maybe she's testing you."
Ajacky hearing this looked confused at her mother, then at Adriana, not understanding.
"But I don't want to fight!" - She screamed with tears in her eyes.
"I apologize for being sudden, but Ajacky, please attack me, stop thinking and just attack me!" - Adriana said calmly.
Juiri looked at her, then at her daughter and said. -"Attack her, she won't hurt you and she's very strong too, she has no way you can hurt her!"
Ajacky clenched her teeth, she didn't want to but she was under a lot of pressure.
Soon she stood up, her hands shaking and Adriana said. - "Don't worry, none of us will get hurt, just attack me and I'll explain everything later!"
Gritting his teeth, Ajacky raised the axe, took a deep breath and stepped forward, swinging the ax at Adriana.
Adriana quickly dodged, she analyzed Ajacky and said. - "Continues!"
Ajacky, trembling, gritted her teeth but continued to attack, a wide slash that Adriana recoiled with a slight leap back, then a vertical slash, Adriana parried.
Ajacky's attacks are very simple and clumsy, and she is scared and confused.
"Ajacky, remember the feeling you get when chopping wood, don't think about useless things, it gets in your way, just focus on your breathing and the ax in your hands, think of me as the target that must be hit!" - Adriana said calmly.
Ajacky didn't understand, it wasn't an easy thing to do, since Adriana isn't an immobile log!
But Adriana kept repeating and then tried to make her angrier, so she used the body of the ax to hit her breasts and ass, which made her ashamed.
"Stop thinking about useless things, focus only on me, then on the feeling of chopping wood." - Adriana said calmly.
Ajacky still couldn't, but after a few minutes, while she was tired and panting, she continued to attack with clenched teeth, until something different happened.
She didn't understand it herself, but one of her attacks was stronger and faster than normal, making Adriana raise her eyebrows and quickly defend herself!
BANG!
A soft bang came, Ajacky was startled.
[Ajacky(Lv.11 12) HP: 122 / 165 180]
Adriana smiled, she got stronger, but in return, Ajacky soon collapsed in exhaustion and Juiri stepped forward.
Ajacky was put to rest, while Adriana was questioned by Juiri and their wives.
"What was all that about?!" - Asked Juiri seriously.
Adriana looked at her and answered.
- "I don't know what they call it here, but where I come from, there are some very rare women, who are born with some unique characteristic, from muscular strength superior to what they appear to be, eyes capable of seeing farther, a body that stores more Mana than the normal and stuff like that, we call these people Irregulars, it's not a bad thing, just that they become stronger faster by relying on their birth advantages!"
Her words only left them confused and Adriana continued. - "Since I saw your daughter, I was curious about why she is so strong, she never trained, she just cuts wood practically every day, that doesn't explain her having the strength of a trained soldier!"
"Actually, Ajacky was born with a very strong body, but what does that have to do with it?" - Asked Juiri frowning.
"I believe your daughter is an Irregular, but not one with a simple advantage, but a pretty incredible one, that if given proper training, I believe that in 1 or 2 decades, she could have the strength of a Master Knight, even match the Lords!" - Adriana said calmly, which shocked everyone present.
"As?" - Asked Juiri seriously.
"As I studied her daughter, I used my senses to see how she cut the wood and it just seemed that the Mana in the air was holding her, as if she were a caring mother and teacher, guiding her, along I noticed that the method that she breathed is equivalent to some Aura Knight techniques, only far inferior!" - Adriana said calmly, which left them even more shocked.
"So I say all this, I really don't want to hurt your daughter, I just wanted to know if that was really the case and I found out that yes, it was!
That last, more powerful and faster attack, was due to Mana flowing through her body instinctively, perhaps in accordance with her anger and frustration, to reach me, perhaps if I was 50% weaker, she could have hit me and seriously injured." - Adriana said calmly.
In the end, for now, the matter was left aside, where Juiri wanted more confirmation and details about it.
Adriana said that she also wants to know more, so she decided to go to Ajacky's room, which she still hadn't slept, even though she was tired, she was being tormented about the reason for all this, preventing her from sleeping.
When he saw Adriana
"Calm down, I didn't come to hurt you, can you listen to me for a bit?" - Asked Adriana, Ajacky looked at her and nodded.
Sitting on the bed, Adriana looked at her and said. - "Sorry for earlier, you wouldn't understand, but you will, know that I don't hate you or I'm mad at you, in fact it's the opposite, I'm very impressed and happy that you are so amazing!"
"Oh? I? Amazing?" - Ajacky was more and more confused.
"It's hard to explain, but that last attack of yours, you may not have noticed, but it was full of Mana, it was simple and little, but it was still an attack full of Mana and very powerful, I did it because it could make you stronger and it was the case!" - Adriana said calmly.
Ajacky was amazed, understanding now what that feeling was.
As soon as Adriana put her hand on her head, Ajacky flinched a little. - "Sorry again, I just couldn't stand to see someone so talented being unable to use their true strength, so how about tomorrow I be kinder to you? We are not going to fight, but I will explain it to you in more detail."
Ajacky looked at her, blinking as she thought.
Sighing, Adriana said. - "I let you touch my breasts as an apology, what do you think?
Ajacky's eyes widened and then turned to Adriana's huge melons, which she smiled and gave her a flick.
"It's due tomorrow you little pervert, your sisters are watching!" - Adriana said smiling and Ajacky blushed.
Adriana soon apologized again, before leaving the room and going to the guest room.
Adriana lying on her bed, looking at the ceiling thoughtfully, thinking about that last attack, it looked something like the [Explosive Impact], it was just pure Mana, without any technique or refinement, it makes her very doubtful about what it was all about, the that caused Mana to guide her, how she performed such a blow without having any knowledge!
She's growing more and more curious, wondering if this was the System or just her own Luck, there's no way she can bump into girls with a unique build so easily.
