Putting my spirit into it and resume the training . . . this is Nobusada who should have done that . Presently, I've been tied on a wooden training dummy . My upper half is tightly binded you see . How'd it come to this?
"Well then, Nobusada-san . I will be throwing my fists now, please watch them carefully without blinking okay . "
That's what she says . My upper half is tied because I might get hit by her fist if I move carelessly . First, a training to strengthen kinetic vision? done by apparently watching Eleanor-san's fists, getting used to their speed and removing my fear . I'm already like a carp on a chopping board . Ready to be cooked in any way . Oops, looks like Eleanor-san is ready while I was thinking that .
"Now then, here I go . "
With that, fwoosh, something passed right beside my face . Eeeee, I couldn't see it at all . I was able to see Gian's fists, even only a little, but her speed is pretty much in a whole different dimension .
FWOOSH
FWOOSH
Fists passed the sides of my face with each sounds of wind getting cut . And I don't think it's just my imagination . It's gradually getting closer to my face, her fist that is! I don't feel any fear . It's probably because there's no killing intent, and maybe also because I just got punched senselessly the day before yesterday .
After a bit while . Discerning Magic Eye-sama could finally, slightly, catch her fist . Or to be more correct, I didn't only watch her fist, but her entire body, and then I grasped the timing of her fists by observing the flow of its movements . Staring hard at the sexy Eleanor-san whose training clothes stick to her sweaty body is my ulterior motive though!!
"You've gotten used to this speed already? You have really good eyes . I thought it would take longer . Then maybe I should hasten the pace a bit . "
Mumumu, no wait, it was just a tiny little bit . . . Or rather, Eleanor-san can still go faster? But she's already faster than Gian .
"B-by the way, how much you're holding back right now?"
"Let me see . I think it's around 30% now . "
W-whaaaaat! She hasn't even shown 1/3 of her power . It just hits me again how amazing she is . Eleanor-san was done preparing while I was thinking that .
BWOOSH
A wind cutting sound that was more intense than earlier passed my face . Yup, I don't see anything at all . Not her fist nor her body . I'm scared . The shockwave-like thing is rattling my cheeks . I'm trying to learn even a bit while desperately fighting the urge to close my eyes . I'm almost losing to the fear, but I motivate myself by convincing myself that this is a training .
And then, I noticed one thing .
Eleanor-san's face is getting to look amorous!
Her cheeks look slightly flush . Her usual cool face turned into an enraptured expression of a woman . Wonder why my instinct is sounding alarm for danger . Have a dangerous been inadvertently opened inside Eleanor-san?
BWOOM
HIYII!
The speed has obviously gotten faster! And the gap is paper-thin now .
"Fufu, ufufufu . "
Wait a minute Eleanor-san, did you lick your lips just now? I don't taste that good you know . Hyowaaaa, the wind pressure is starting to create marks on my face like it's grazing me? Or rather, isn't it really grazing me? I stare with desperate eyes at Eleanor-san who's gradually raising her speed . The special training continues on as I stay immobile cause carelessly moving might get me hit . I mean, a fist comes whenever I try to make a sound . In the end, this went on until Eleanor-san lost her breath . My face is full of welt-like red lesions .
"I-I'm sorry, Nobusada-san . I got too much into it . . . . "
"No no, this much is nothing . Sorry, but could you untie me for now?"
"Y-yes, of course . "
I ran to the toilet at once after getting liberated . I'll take this secret of almost pissing myself in front of Eleanor-san to my grave . It was just that scary . When I went back to Eleanor-san while sighing in relief, I heard her murmur .
"Haa, I did it again . . . . Just why can't I hold back when I'm focusing too much . What should I do if Nobusada-san won't come back after this . And father was happy to have a new pupil in a while too . . . . "
Muu, looks like this isn't the first time this happened . It's true that my mind almost broke for a minute there, but I can still go at it! A man has to shut up and endure . I almost shouted out loud though!
"Eleanor-san, thank you for waiting . Now, shall we continue then?"
"Nobusada-san, are you alright? If you don't feel like it now or . . . "
"I'm completely fine . I can use Heal to quickly cure a little bit of wound, so let's keep at it . "
"Y-yes . . . Since the schedule today is only throughout the morning, let's have kumite until the time is up . Please don't hold back as I won't counter . Maybe, I'll even give you a reward if you can get a hit on me . "
What!? I'm all fired up now . I'm weak with reward and stuff, you see .
We take a stance and face each other . I send out a straight right jab from attack form with all my might . Of course, she easily parried it since there was no feint or anything . The fact that she won't get any damage from me no matter what I do is relieving in a way . I can go at this with all my might without worrying Eleanor-san getting injured . I revise my movements little by little by mimicking Eleanor-san's movements earlier . Connected flowing attack instead of one-off shots . Considering my current physique and build, it's probably impossible to end this match in one hit . Then it's a battle of move number . Therefore, Eleanor-san's movements make for a really good reference . Perhaps Master entrusted the initial training to Eleanor-san for this reason .

We're in the sixth match now with a break every 10 minutes . This is probably the last considering the time . Even now, I only touched Eleanor-san when she parried me . I still haven't get a hit on her .
I'd like to surprise her a bit at least . Thus, I'm thinking of trying various moves this time . Imitating boxing jab, one two to smash . Crouching leg sweep continuing to jumping uppercut . My throwing attempts were in faint as I couldn't even catch her . Uhahaha, this match is choke full of amateur's shallow thinking . It's rather refreshing that all of them failed .
In that case, I'll get close to her to the limit . Eleanor-san is keeping her guard but she's still not moving . Right before I get next to her I draw my hands back .
CLAAAAAP
A loud sound resounded from my hands in front of Eleanor-san . It's the so called Nekodamashi . Even Eleanor-san didn't expect this, her body stiffened . And just right when I'm going all in to try to catch her clothes' neckline .
Tettere~♪ Acquired Grappling Lv1
Surprised by the sudden noGoddess's announcement which had been absent until now, I inadvertently tripped my leg . And I ended up making a dive onto Eleanor-san . Eleanor-san who didn't anticipate the Nekodamashi and my dive at all seemed to be taken off guard too and fell .
Ow ow ow, I failed . And it was my chance too .
monyun
Monyun? There's something soft on my right hand . . . My eyes matched Eleanor-san's when I opened them . The smallish yet nice sensation on my right hand is . . . .
"KYAAAAAAAAAA"
BOOOOOOOOM
"AMIBA"
My view was immediately filled with a fist before I blacked out .
"U-uaa"
I was sleeping on sofa when I came to . Feels like I've been fainting a lot lately .
"Nobusada-san, you've come to!? I'm sorry, I forgot to hold back back then . . . . "
"No no, I'm fine(?) somehow . I should ask for your forgiveness too . "
Eleanor-san blushed, seemingly recalling it . I smile wryly while using Heal on my aching face . I've got to enjoy an unexpected reward . The soft sensation still lingers in my hand even now, thank you for the feast!
