Ko-chan’s Chronicles

"What did I tell you? You have to be gentle, and use your strength in moderation!" Matsuko scolded me after I launched myself across the room for the fourth time in a row. She carried me to the basement training room, where I had been doing my agility training prior to my awakening.

Now, it is where I try to walk straight without bashing my head on the ceiling, kicking through a wall, or some other painful action.

"You are nothing like you were before, you need to be able to be much more precise with the amount of strength you use. Now, try it again." Matsuko placed me back on the ground and then ran about twenty meters away to catch me if I used too much force again.

I took one step with the absolute minimum amount of force I could manage, and... managed to only leap a few meters from where I started. It seemed my training would continue for a while.

Annoyingly, even though it seems like I've become superhumanly strong with my new body, Naruyo already took that into account when she made my new Glacial Flamesilk tutu. I thought maybe I could surprise Matsuko with my new strength and burst out of my clothing and ambush her with a hug, but my attempt was a dismal failure. My tutu held me just as strictly as it did before my change, and even the rubber muzzle inside my mouth was completely unfazed by my increased bite strength. It seems it's not made out of regular rubber anymore.

"Naruyo, your turn. I have other training to administer other than Ko-chan's movement training. Don't let her leave until she can walk all the way across the room in less than one meter steps. A single head bang and she has to start over." Matsuko seemed like she had a lot to think about since the incident with my awakening. I wish I could help, but currently, I can't even approach her without flying across the room.

"Instructions understood. Her improvement will surprise you." Naruyo smiled at me, but she seemed more like a drill sergeant than a trainer right now.

"Hinari. Are you ready? As far as I can tell, the best thing we can do for you right now is to increase your stamina. It is more desirable to have a weaker power that can be used quickly and often than a stronger power that you can only use a few times or need an extensive amount of time to use." Matsuko introduced her plan for the training.

"If only I didn't run out of magic at that time.. I'm ready for anything." Hinari gathered her determination

"Anything, you say? Well, you said it, not me~" Matsuko grinned and took a step forward. It was a move she had used often in the past, but now Hinari was her target.

In a second, Hinari's clothes were floating to the ground and her arms were securely tied in the small of her back. The crotch rope pulled the spirit vibrators more deeply in between her legs, causing a gasp of surprise.

"Wait! Ma-chan! What does this have to do with training? Why do I have to be naked? And bound?" Hinari was flustered and confused.

"Oh, that? Mostly for my own amusement. But also for motivation. You see, the training has nothing to do with you being naked and bound. You need to use your power. A lot. I need you to continuously use your power until you are completely spent." Matsuko smiled as she drank in the sight of her friend tied up.

"But.. Why will this be motivation? Can't I just put stuff in and out of my inventory till I get tired?" Hinari was struggling a bit, but she knew she would not be able to slip out of Matsuko's Flame Ropes on her own. They were stronger than steel wire, and they melted together at the ends, leaving perfect restraints without any knots.

"Oh, sure you could do that. But then you wouldn't have any incentive to keep doing it for hours on end. As you get tired or bored you would slow down and then the training would lose its effectiveness." Matsuko explained her line of thought, which made Hinari growl.

"I already said I was serious, and why do you think it will motivate me?" Hinari was now getting very frustrated with Matsuko's non-explanations.

"Oh, let me explain the training. It should be straightforward. All you have to do is remove my special scissors from your inventory and then cut yourself free. Don't worry, they won't have any problem cutting Flame Rope." Matsuko spun a shiny pair of scissors around her finger.

"Just that? How is this going to make me exhaust my power?" Hinari sighed and played along with Matsuko's pace

"He he, just wait. But first, I need to do some cleaning." Matsuko smiled widely and held out her hand to the side. Flashes of light appeared all over the ground and built up into a small pile. All sorts of things were in the pile, from clothing, to food, to bottles of medicine, even weapons were found in the pile. Amusingly, the panties on top looked very familiar.

"Hey, wait, how did you.." Hinari stepped back, since she recognized all of this stuff. It was from *her* inventory after all.

"Just clearing up some space, Hinari. It seems that, now that you are officially my subordinate, I can access your inventory at will. And not only taking stuff out..." She tossed the scissors in her hand into the air and they disappeared. "I can also put stuff into your inventory as well."

Hinari felt naked, even more so than the fact that she was currently standing in front of her friend, bound and naked. "But that..."

Matsuko came up and put a hand on her cheek. "I'm afraid you are just going to have to get used to it, Hinari. Our relationship isn't what it was before and some things will naturally change. Now, as I was saying, all you have to do to complete the training is remove the scissors and cut yourself loose."

"Before you start though, I'm going to give you a gift. I hope you like it a lot." Matsuko gave her a little kiss on the cheek, then snapped her fingers.

Hinari's eyes grew wide as she accessed her inventory again, then shouted "Wait, this, Matsuko? What the hell is this?"

Matsuko flipped her hand and was holding a styrofoam peanut in her hand "Peanuts. Good for packing boxes, and inventories, it seems." She blew on the peanut and it floated around in the air for several seconds as it dropped to the ground.

"But I don't understand. What's the point? I can still just grab the scissors and..." Hinari activated her powers, but what appeared in her hand was not the scissors, but a single peanut.

Hinari's expression froze as she realized what this training truly entailed.

"It seems you figured it out, Hinari-chan~ Peanuts are light and floaty, easily influenced by any kind of current in the air. Those scissors aren't particularly heavy, but they have a bit of weight to them. The suction force you'll need to withdraw the scissors from your inventory will draw in the peanuts long before it gets to the scissors." Matsuko was like an evil genius bragging about her elaborate plan to take over the world.

"Then.. I'll need to remove every single peanut in my inventory to get to the scissors...." Hinari continued her realizations.

"That's right! You will stay bound and naked like this until you finish your training and remove every peanut from your inventory. Matsuko hammered the situation home by clapping once

"Matsuko... This is too mean! I don't want to do training like this!" Hinari protested.

"Ah, of course. That is why I tied you up and stripped you. You don't have a choice but to finish the training if you want to be freed." Matsuko smiled, still drawing in the image of her friend struggling to free her arms from the harness.

Hinari grit her teeth, blushing deeply and producing another peanut. "I'll play your game, Matsuko, but I'll remember this!"

"Don't worry, my dear, when you've finished this game, I have many more to play with you. I swore that I would turn you into a capable subordinate and I won't break that promise, whether it makes you hate me or not." Matsuko became serious for the first time in their conversation.

"Now, off you go, get those peanuts!" Matsuko gave Hinari a swat on the behind, eliciting a yelp of surprise, before leaving her to her training.

Hinari slumped to the floor crying in frustration as she said "Ma-chan, it's too mean..." over and over, but she still continuously produced peanuts and dropped them to the floor.

"Acceptable. Next step. Normal strides. No bouncing." Naruyo examined my progress, and made it more difficult as soon as I succeeded. I headed back in the other direction, trying to take even smaller steps than before. After all, if I couldn't even walk like normal, there was no way I could interact with students who were normal mortals.

The trips back and forth across the facility started to stack up, but I found I wasn't tired, even when this distance of walking would have anyone else laid out on the floor.

"Walking, fine. Now running. Normal motion. Convince me of your mortality." Naruyo immediately increased the challenge again.

Walking was easy now, but when I considered moving fast, my strides immediately jumped to 20 meters again. I suddenly realized why Naruyo and Matsuko could move like they were teleporting. It wasn't a special skill at all, they were just moving faster than normal. Fast, to someone with a immortal body, is impossible to follow with mortal eyes.

"Must move with any speed. Perfect accuracy. Life depends on accurate movement in battle." Naruyo narrated her theory on agility as I moved around the room with more precision.

"Ko-chan special consideration. Wings require additional care. Impact at high speed has extreme effect." Naruyo started to teach me some things that only I would need to care about. I envisioned myself in a high speed chase and hitting something with a wing causing me to spin out and crash to the ground.
