I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

Their offensive tactics consisted of nothing more than desperately shoving and pushing their opponent, trying to knock them to the ground.

This is a pure contest of strength; whoever is weaker or less powerful will lose.

If the other side exerts more effort, I will exert more effort in return; I will never show weakness.

The two men's feet dug deep furrows in the ground.

Both of their faces were flushed, and even the whites of their eyes were bloodshot.

This shows how intense their duel was.

Despite their best efforts, the two sides remained evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Seeing that pushing and shoving didn't work, they unanimously adopted a new tactic—instead of pinching each other's shoulders, they simply closed the distance and then gave each other a bear hug!

The two embraced tightly, one grabbing the other's back and the other's waist, trying to use their own weight as momentum to throw each other to the ground.

Unfortunately, their change of tactics still failed to produce results, and the two sides remained evenly matched.

However, their close-quarters wrestling made the fight scene even more... "meaningful".

After embracing each other tightly, both Kondo Isami and Serizawa Kamo felt a sudden surge of "heat" in their chests, and they desperately wanted to release this "restlessness".

And so—

Kondo Isami: "Ha! Ha! Haa ...

Serizawa Kamo: "Hmph! Hmph! Hmph ahh ...

With a rousing battle cry, they unleashed their remaining strength in one breath.

Finally... they were both exhausted, and without prior agreement, they let go of each other and collapsed to the ground.

"Ha...ha...ha...ha...ha..."

"Huff...huff...huff...huff...huff..."

"Haa...haa...haa...haa..."

"Heh...heh...heh...heh..."

"Ha...hoo...haa...ha...haa..."

The intense sounds of their fighting had faded away, leaving only the weary breathing of the five men.

Coincidentally, the position in which these five people were lying on their backs was quite ingenious.

If viewed from above, you can see their heads facing each other, lying on the five points of the "pentagram".

And so, they regulated their breathing while gazing at the starry sky, the air filled with an indescribable atmosphere of tranquility.

The "heat" that had been lingering in their chests since the beginning had been completely dissipated in the intense sumo wrestling.

Instead, it brings a unique sense of exhilaration.

Suddenly, without any prior agreement, the five of them spoke in unison, slowly saying:

"Thank you for your guidance..."

……

……

Ever since Elodie grew up, Qingdeng had been intentionally avoiding suspicion and keeping a certain distance from her, even rarely looking at her face.

Only now, as Elodie pressed him against the poolside, did he finally look directly at her face, something he hadn't done in a long time.

Looking at the familiar yet long-lost beautiful face in front of him, Qingdeng was momentarily lost in thought.

Upon closer inspection, Elodie truly is a beauty among beauties.

Her delicate features seemed as fragile as a broken object that could be shattered at the slightest touch.

She has big, bright eyes and long upper and lower eyelashes.

As is well known, "excessive body hair" is one of the characteristics of Westerners, regardless of gender.

To give a vivid example, Western women's skin is like a peach—even if it's fair with a rosy tint, it's still fuzzy.

Elodie, however, was not like that.

She had very little body hair. Leaving aside her limbs or any other unusual areas, the density of the fine hair on her face alone was quite different from that of the average Westerner.

Only by looking closely, close to the light, can you see the translucent, soft down on her face.

Besides body hair, Elodie's skin color is also different from that of most Westerners.

The "white" of Caucasians is a deathly white, much like the white of dead pigs that have been soaked in too much water.

Rather than being "white," they are more like "gray people."

Elodie's skin, however, was different.

Her skin was not only fair and delicate, but also had a crystal-clear luster.

If Elodie lived in modern times, modern cosmetic surgery clinics would probably use her skin as the model for "cold white skin".

Perhaps because she had spent too much time in the East, Elodie's every smile and gesture was becoming more and more like that of an Easterner.

To describe Elodie's appearance in simple terms, she possesses both the striking features of the West and the graceful charm of the East.

Qingdeng and Elodie met 5 years ago.

Time flies, and she is no longer the little girl she once was.

However... perhaps it's due to her genes, but her height has never changed, remaining at 1.42 meters.

She was past the age of growing taller, and even if she took calcium supplements like crazy, she wouldn't grow any taller—something that Elodie always resented.

She had always admired Sanako and dreamed of having a tall figure like Sanako.

Unfortunately, her dream has become an unattainable luxury.

However, certain parts of her body were exceptionally well-developed! It was as if all the body's nutrients were concentrated in that area!

After all, she was a woman with the gift of "plump bear breasts".

[Note: Abundant Bear Paws: Bears develop much better than the average person, and their bodies are less prone to becoming misshapen or sagging. However, because Qingdeng is male, this talent does not apply.]

A legal loli with a baby face and huge breasts... It's really hard to imagine that such a creature actually exists in the world.

Elodie's beauty dazzled Qingdeng.

But soon he came to his senses and belatedly realized that the situation was not good.

Elodie's face turned an eerie pink.

Her sky-blue eyes always evoke images of a clear summer sky or a crystal-clear spring.

At this moment, this "clear spring" is rippling, with soft waves spreading out.

Even if Qingdeng were to think for himself, he would know that something was definitely fishy about this.

—Was she drugged?

The first possibility that came to his mind was that Elodie had been drugged.

Although the truth is unclear, it's always better to get rid of Elodie's control first.

With his strength, this was an easy task; he even had to carefully control his strength to avoid injuring his opponent.

However, just as he was about to exert his strength—

--Um?

A strong wave of dizziness suddenly hit his brain, causing him to sway and nearly fall into the pool.

Qingdeng has been feeling dizzy ever since.

He thought it was just because the air was too stuffy, so he didn't take it seriously.

Now, this dizziness felt like a sudden eruption of magma, instantly filling Qingdeng's brain.

This situation was completely unexpected by Qing Deng.

He was taken aback at first, but then immediately realized the answer:

—Am I...drunk to the point of infatuation...?!

Getting dizzy from soaking in water doesn't discriminate based on physical strength.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that someone with vigorous blood and energy like Qingdeng is more likely to lose their mind while indulging in a relationship.

Although Qingdeng tried his best to suppress the dizziness in his mind and regain control of his body, he could not get rid of the physiological phenomenon no matter how hard he tried.

He's like he's sick now, feeling dizzy and weak, unable to use his limbs.

Thus, let alone breaking free from Elodie's control, simply standing firm was already quite a struggle.

"Heh...hehehe...!"

Suddenly, Elodie let out a strange laugh, and the "ripples" in her eyes intensified.

"How strange... I feel so light... and in such a good mood... Why is this... Hmm? Master, why aren't you saying anything?"

As she spoke, Elodie bent down and moved closer to Qingdeng.

Qingdeng quickly looked away to avoid seeing anything he shouldn't have.

Although he avoided direct eye contact, he kept catching glimpses of two striking shadows out of the corner of his eye.

"Master...why aren't you saying anything?"

She repeated it again, and then suddenly reached out with her right hand, pinched the flesh of Qingdeng's thigh with her thumb, index finger and middle finger, and twisted it clockwise.

Although it didn't hurt much, her sudden "attack" made Qingdeng gasp in surprise:

"Hiss...!"

Qingdeng's low murmur seemed to have flipped a switch within Elodie.

But then she slowly opened her eyes wide, her cheeks gradually filling with excitement, making her already flushed face even more vibrant.

"Hehe...hehehehehe...this voice...is so great...Master, one more time..."

Before she finished speaking, she reached out again and twisted Qingdeng's thigh muscles hard.

With the blessing of the talents "Physical Flexibility +2" and "Pain Tolerance +8", Qingdeng is very tough. This level of "attack" is not enough to hurt Qingdeng.
