My Servant System

The next morning had seen Leone and I sore and groaning, the intense night leaving us sapped of our energy.

Nothing a bath couldn't fix for me, and Leone was right as rain after a few sips of my blood.

While I had lounged in the bath, the system spoke up.

[Hey, last night, before you passed out, you got something.]

[Achievement Unlocked! Dual Cultivator]

[Dual Cultivator: You have been both the receiver and giver of energy during a Cultivation Session; additionally, you have managed to pleasure your partners while doing so, strengthening the session!

Reward: 1 Skill Point, Skill [Crucible (Novice)]]

[[Crucible (Novice)]: Slightly reduces the impurities in your mana when transferred to a partner]

Pursing my lips, I nodded before asking 'So the impurity thing was real huh?'

[Hah... yes Host, it was indeed real. Your mana is different from say Leone's, so this skill will make it easier for her to absorb and utilize your mana; if before it took ten minutes to refine, now it'll be nine minutes. Small, but it adds up.]

Nodding again, I was about to get up when I heard a low mutter.

[Especially if they act like idiots like you; taking in three large bundles of potent mana all because you're insatiable... stupid...]

'Hah? If you have something to say, say it to my face! Or... well, y'know, say it out loud!'

For a few moments my mind was silent, and I glared at the mirror, before I heard the system speak up again.

[Very well. Ding~! Host had been awarded the Skill [Idiot (MAX)]; would Host like to inspect the skill?]

I flipped off the mirror, muttering "Oh piss off..."

However, after a moment I had to chuckle, saying 'That was actually pretty good~! Last time you did that was back when I first came over, right?'

[Indeed.]

Chuckling some more, I exited the bath after I used my wind to dry myself off, and I threw on my maid dress.

Jahi, Leone, and Anput were sitting on the couch outside, and each was quiet, their eyes closed.

The mana we gave one another was able to be 'saved' for a few hours, and everyone had decided to wait until we weren't drunk off pleasure to refine it.

Of course, that decision resulted in a loss of purity and potency, but oh well.

Sitting down with them, I closed my eyes and focused on my core, where a bundle of cool, hard mana resided, floating amongst my Ice Mana.

Grasping Anput's Metal Mana, I inspected it, rotating it around in my core and untangling the strands that made it up.

I was curious, and I wanted to separate it into its individual parts; Fire Mana and Earth Mana.

The Fire Mana was more important to me, but I wanted to see if I could strengthen my Wind Mana with the Earth Mana, since the Fire will improve my Mana overall...

Man that was a lot of Mana...

Anput seemed to have a large reserve like the rest of us, but our resident meathead seemed to just...

Not know how to utilize it properly.

Pursing my lips, I let that thought drift away, focusing on the task at hand.

Grasping at individual strands, I slowly unraveled the bundle of Mana my mate had gifted me, creating two separate 'piles'.

It was a long, boring process, but...

Finally separating them, I sighed before grabbing the set of Fire Mana, wrapping my Ice around it and slowly integrating it inside.

I would let the scorching heat attempt to melt my Ice before stopping it, repeating the process to 'temper' my Ice.

It was yet another length process, and if I cared only about short term gains, I could simply flash freeze the Fire with my Ice, improving the Ice slightly in a few moments.

However, I wanted to get stronger; Jillian and Ayla were staring to piss me off, and I wanted to guarantee that I could stomp on that Elven bitch and her fiancee with ease...

A twisted grin appeared on my face at the idea, before I finished up integrating the first half of Anput's Mana into my own.

Now came the even harder part...

See, the whole idea was to improve your Mana by letting it be exposed to something of the opposite element, let it be exposed to something stronger, like Jahi's light, or just pit it against another Mana in general, which is what Jahi was doing with Leone's Mana.

So, if I wanted to strengthen my Wind...

Taking a deep breath, I grabbed some of my Ice and plucked at the gale around it, gathering more Mana than the Earth Mana inside my core.

I needed to surround the Mana with my own and then start exposing it to the Earth.

It took a few moments to gather that Wind, but when I did I started refining it right away, watching at how my Wind weathered away the small 'rock' inside my core, breaking it down.

Grinning, I allowed that gale to return to the Icy water that sloshed in my core, and I felt that it was sharper than before.

I knew that it wouldn't be truly noticeable in practical use just yet, but the improvement simply wasn't enough just yet.

Which meant I needed to Cultivate some more~

With all of Anput's mana used up, I retreated from my core and opened my eyes, seeing Leone still refining while Anput and Jahi were taking deep breaths, a thin sheen of sweat on their brows.

Getting up, I cleaned them off before moving to the kitchen, my voice quiet as I asked "What do you want for breakfast?"

Jahi's head snapped my way, and she instantly said "Pancakes."

I gave her a blank stare before chuckling, realizing I had deprived my Mistress of her favorite food for quite a long time.

"Very well Mistress~! Some pancakes coming right up~!"

Short, but wanted to get that stuff out of the way...

Besides that, two quick questions:

1) Anyone here read BL s? No hate or anything, just curious; why are they considered Female Lead s? Is the MC actually... Female? Or are they cheating the system cause... two boys make out? Just curious, cause quite a few s in the Win-Win mission are BL...

2) Someone please suggest a good book for me to read! I'm dying over here man... can't find anything good for some reason! I'm addicted to books and currently going through withdrawals...

Anyways yeah, next is our girls going on some Adventuring Missions!
