My Servant System-Chapter 138 137: Refining New And Old Skills
After a grueling, yet fulfilling Combat Class, we were back home, Jahi and Anput already out back sparing while Leone and I sat down together at the table.
In front of us was a book; 'The Beginner's Guide to Enchanting', given to me by Kolia before Combat Class had concluded.
Seeing the book, Leone displayed in interest in it as well; after all, enchanting was a form of exercise for your mana control, as well as a good way to develop new spells and improve upon the old.
Currently, we had a few cloths in front of us; I wanted to try and create something that, back at the Estate, had helped me so much.
That cloth that could manage to clean most things with just one wipe.
Leaning forwards, I diligently read each line of text in the book, gradually getting a good idea on how exactly one enchants an item. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
It sounds simple enough; just create the rune or ritual circle with mana in the air, then 'push' it onto the item.
However, you need to be able to keep the rune or ritual circle even the entire time, you need to allow your mana to seep into the item, and you need deep concentration.
Again, it sounds simple enough, but in practice it was proving to be rather annoying to do.
Leone and I both had a cloth in front of us, and we were going for the same basic utility enchantment.
Raising our hands, we created the runes needed for the enchantment, pushing our mana gently out of our bodies and shaping the runes.
Then we guided the sequence down onto the cloth, before 'pushing' our mana into the fabric, trying to bind the mana to the small cloth.
Doing so was akin to tying two loose strings together in a tight knot; once you knew how to do it, it was easy; but before that, it was sloppy, ugly, and simply didn't work.
Gritting my teeth, I frowned for a moment as the mana shredded the small cloth, making me sigh before grabbing another one.
They were all basic cloths, cut from a larger sheet that we didn't need. That meant we were free to mess up as much as we wanted.
Leone also let out a groan, staring down at the remaining embers that was her cloth.
Looking at one another, we gave each other a wry grin before grabbing the next cloth, attempting it again.
It took me a few more tries, but eventually I managed to successfully enchant the cloth, making me let out a relieved sigh.
[Achievement Unlocked! First Enchantment]
[First Enchantment: You enchanted your first item! Congratulations, and keep on trying!
Reward: 2 Stat Points, Skill [Enchanter (Novice)]]
[[Enchanter (Novice)]: It is slightly easier to enchant items]
Grinning to myself, I turned to watch Leone fail again, her face pulled into a frown.
"I managed to tattoo myself, but I can't enchant a cloth!?"
She sighed in annoyance, hanging her head slightly, only to stiffen as I slid behind her.
Wrapping my arms around her, I nuzzled my cheek against hers as I whispered "You can do it Leone. I believe in you~!"
Gently blowing into her ear, I chuckled as she turned crimson, before nodding a few times.
Timidly reaching for another cloth, I observed her as she started over again, this time meticulously and steadily progressing though the process.
Enjoying her warmth, I draped myself over her and watched on, making sure to try not to disturb her too much...
Which was rather hard, as every time I moved myself behind her my breasts pressed into her back, making the Vampire flinch.
Seeing her shuffling around in front of me, I grinned before remaining stationary, as she had reached the harder part of the enchanting process.
While she was going through that, I reviewed my rewards from the fight against Lord Pele; specifically, the large accumulation of experience, stat and skill points, as well as the achievement and skill I gained.
Allocating the stat points, I felt a rush of energy flow through my veins, making me grin more.

Then there was [Hunter], which would certainly come in handy considering how large Drakes could get...
At least, based on the claw Kolia showed me in passing when she gave me the Enchanting Book.
Nodding to myself, I grinned at Leone and kissed her crimson cheek as her runes flared on the cloth, successfully enchanting it.
"Good job~!"
Shivering in my arms, Leone gulped before tentatively asking "C-Can I have a bite..?"
Smirking at her, I licked her neck before nodding, only to giggle as she flipped over on top of me, her fangs sinking deep into my neck.
Noticing that it was on the opposite side as my gland, I could only imagine the feeling of Leone drinking my blood while Anput marked me...
Moaning loudly as something else entered me, Leone and I lost ourselves quickly to lust, as a mini celebration of completing our first enchantment.

Jahi PoV
Grinning down at Anput as she scooped her blade back up, I twirled my own before gesturing for her to start.
"Come on now, you can do better puppy~!"
Shivering at that, she glared at me before dashing forwards, her speed impressing me for a moment as I barely managed to raise my wooden practice blade up to block her thrust.
Pushing her back, I capitalized on her uneven footing by swinging the blade towards her head, making the Jackalkin grunt as she hurriedly blocked it.
Our wooden blades thunked loudly against one another, and Anput let out a strained yell as she desperately tried to push my blade away.
Watching her intently, I was prepared for her to slip out from under the blade, a grin on her face as she spun into me, the edge of her sword attempting to slash over my midriff.
Lifting my blade slightly, I blocked her slash before pushing her away again, grinning at her.
"Not bad... but-!"
Lunging forwards, I thrust my tip towards her exposed side, utilizing her parry to bring myself even closer.
Catching her arm as she tried to stab at me again, I yanked her into my body, swiftly clasping my other hand around her throat.
Staring down at her with a grin, I leaned down and kissed her, surprising the woman.
She tried to escape my grasp, but I held her still, eagerly exploring her mouth.
However, Anput had other ideas about this battle, as she nipped my tongue and slipped away when I flinched from the pain.
Smirking at her, I could taste a little iron tang inside my mouth, wiping the thin line of blood that leaked from my lips.
Healing the small cut on my tongue, I watched as the panting Jackalkin blushed furiously, her eyes slightly hazy as I stepped closer.
"I did a little more research on Canine Beastkin..."
Leaning down, I chuckled as my Jackalkin wife went slightly slack, her face dark as she panted.
"You respond quite... interestingly to your lovers scent when they're aroused..."
Gently wrapping my hands around her collar, I pulled her into me, my grin widening as she fell into my body.
"So? How does it feel to lose to me again, Anput~?"
My feisty little Jackal was a competitor through and through; to her, a battle was everything, both her honor and respect demanded she fight.
By beating her, I firmly placed myself as her...
Not owner...
Pack Leader?
Shrugging, I applied a little more force around her neck, lightly cutting off her air flow.
She blushed more as I choked her, making my heart race as I discovered something new about her...
"Come on girl... answer me."
She clung to my body, her breath hot on my skin as I loomed over her.
"J... J-Jahi..."
"Hmm~?"
Tilting my head, I continued to stare at her, waiting.
Her eyes were clouded over with lust, and I smirked at her as she murmured "I... I'm y-your... f-faithful pet..."
Nodding, I rewarded her with a kiss, pushing her down onto the sandy ground.
Losing myself swiftly to her citrusy taste, I found my control slipping, and I wanted nothing more than to-
"P-Pleash~! T-Take me~!"
With the remaining moments of clarity I had, I tore our clothes off and did as my wife said, my hands tightening around her surprisingly dainty neck.
While I indulged myself in her body, I could tell Kat was doing something similar, both from the loud moans echoing form the cottage as well as from our soul bond, her arousal flooding into me as well.
Grinning to myself, I wondered how such a perfect woman for me like her managed to just so happen to be born as my wife.
The fates truly work in such mysterious ways...
