Chapter 327: Master Scathach Scarlett has acquired newdisciples
"Okay, stop it." Scathach spoke in a firm tone as she looked at Victor's Maids.
Currently, Scathach had asked the girls to demonstrate everything they knew so Scathach could get an idea of what they needed to focus on.
The result of her little experiment?
A complete mess. Scathach realized that these women were like mini versions of Victor.
Powerful, but they didn't know how to use their powers correctly. In simple terms, they lacked control.
The only ones who did well were Kaguya, who already had basic training from her Clan, and Maria, who was a former hunter and lived a long time with Vampires.
The rest were a total mess by Scathach standards.
Bruna didn't know how to use her telekinesis powers completely. The way she used the power was very crude. It would be nice if the woman's telekinesis level wasn't so high.
'Bruna, Maria, and Kaguya are the ones that will give me the least trouble to train.' Scathach thought as she looked at Bruna, who was breathing tiredly.
And then she looked at Eve.
Due to her admiration for Victor's 'light', stemming from her trauma related to her past, Eve ended up with a strange variation of the Snow Clan's power. The worst thing was that Scathach couldn't do anything about this trauma. She had enough experiences with traumatized girls to understand that they were the ones who should help themselves.
The phrase that said, "Only you can help yourself," was quite fitting for this situation.
No matter how much of a helping hand Scathach extended toward Eve, if the girl didn't want to help herself, it would literally be impossible to solve this problem.
'What a shame', Scathach thought. She was absolutely certain that Eve's potential was enormous. If she solved her personal problems, her powers could mutate again.
Another problematic prospect was Roberta.
The woman had a triple personality, and each knew and interacted with each other.
The gentle and loving Roberta, a woman who looked like an angel on earth and who dared not hurt anyone.
Sadistic, possessive, and manipulative Roberta.
And the heroic spirit that somehow got mixed up in this madness.
Scathach believed that through interaction with the heroic spirit and due to trauma related to abandonment and family, Roberta's sadistic personality was born.
The heroic spirit was another problem as well, as the spirit itself seemed to be a spirit of revenge filled with hate.
Although Scathach did not blame the heroic spirit for this attitude. After all, this was the normal consequence of the 'irrationality' of the Greek gods.
Scathach believed that the sadistic, possessive, manipulative personality who liked to play with the lives of others was the result of the fusion of Roberta's traumas with the traumas of the heroic spirit.
It's like a personality that was created to protect your kinder self.
... In the end, the woman's situation was still a mess. She seemed fine on the outside, but her mindset might be worse than Natashia's.
At least Natashia knew she was crazy and accepted it for herself.
Roberta knew she was crazy, but she refused to accept that side of herself. It was not because she didn't want to accept herself, but because she believed her madness was at such a high point that it didn't matter anymore if she accepted herself or not.
The three personalities were so intertwined that it was impossible to separate them, as in the case of Natashia.
The woman also had extreme bipolarity due to these constant personality shifts.
And what about Roxanne?
Scathach didn't even want to talk about it. She'd asked the woman to demonstrate her powers, and the result was that the woman's powers were a completely different area from anything she'd ever seen before; she had no idea how to train the World Tree.
Her powers were weird, and Scathact believed Roxanne could only grow on her own or find another, older World Tree to train her.
But as a believer in the ideology that foundations were always important, Scathach was training all the girls in their foundations.
Maria and Kaguya didn't need that since they already had strong foundations.
Kaguya was currently something akin to a vice-leader of Clan Blank, and because of her newly acquired position, she had gained access to her Clan's secret techniques.
Scathach didn't need to teach Kaguya anything regarding techniques, so she was just responsible for giving little tips for Maid to evolve even more.
Don't underestimate the situation. The tips of a woman who has been alive since the time of Jesus and who has never stopped training and improving herself were very enlightening.
It turned out that Kaguya found several small flaws related to her Clan's techniques, and in the end, she was forced to adapt and improvise.
With Scathach's advice and Scathach's teaching of Dagger techniques, Kaguya decided that she would improve her Clan's technique and develop personal techniques.
Despite not being as complete in her knowledge of being a dagger expert, Scathach was a genius in her own right. She'd gotten to the point where she knew how to use all weapons and had enough understanding of them to give masters a run for their money.
Even though the Spear was her main weapon and the one she held the most dominance with, her knowledge of the other weapons couldn't be ignored.
In Gatcha terms,
Scathach had a Super Master rating or was a UR rank character when wielding a Spear.
And for the other weapons, she had a Master rating or SSR rank.
Despite being just one realm of difference, the difference between these two realms was like the distance between heaven and earth.
Maria benefited the most from training with Scathach.
It turned out that the millennia-old woman had a lot of techniques that used 'threads' as weapons, and the woman had a lot of knowledge of how the 'ghoul' races worked, which helped the Queen of the Ghouls a lot.
In the end, Maria ended up being beaten even more by the Older Woman.
But Maria didn't complain, she already knew where she was when her Master threw her into the lion's mouth... Or, in this case, a lioness.
After she finished giving instructions to Kaguya and Maria, Scathach looked at Bruna.
"Use your power more creatively."
"…Eh?"
"You have Telekinesis, a very high leveled one at that, and you only use that power to push and pull enemies? Or even levitate enemies?"
"Be more creative, your power begs for it."
"…What do you mean, Master?"
Scathach's smile grew a little distorted, and she spoke, "Use your power to turn your enemies into a ball of flesh, break them from the inside, destroy the enemies' nervous system, destroy the enemies' hearts."
"The way you use your power is very gentle, and I don't like it."
Gulp...
Bruna felt a chill in her back when she heard what Scathach said:
'...As expected of the woman that the Master was trained, she is just as cruel as him...'
"The development of your power is up to you. I can't help with that, I can only give you tips, but..." Scathach took a step and appeared in front of Bruna:
"I can help improve your foundations and teach you martial arts techniques." She started to touch Bruna's body as she seemed to be checking something.
"What is your favorite weapon?" She asked.
"I prefer to use my fists... Although I like firearms too..."
"Firearms…?" Scathach raised an eyebrow in curiosity:
"Well, it makes sense for you to use firearms, considering that with your power, you could literally control the trajectory of projectiles. That way, you'd never miss a shot, but I honestly don't advise relying on firearms.. ."
"When fighting stronger creatures like Werewolves, Gods, Angels, Demons, etc. Normal firearms will not work unless you have a personal blacksmith who can craft high-level firearms, so I recommend you drop that idea for now."
"... I see..." Bruna didn't look sad. It seemed to be something she already knew.
"Umu... As expected of someone from Victor's family, your body is very strong... In fact, it's much stronger than normal."
"..." Scathach put her hand on her chin and pondered for a moment.
"Punch here." She raised her hand, wanting to test her hypothesis.
"...?" Bruna was confused but didn't question the woman, so she just threw a normal punch like she always did.
A small cracking noise was heard, but no damage was done to Scathach's body.
"As expected, for some reason, upon becoming a Vampire, your natural powers were directed towards strength."
This was not something common for beings who were turned into Vampires.
Depending on your thoughts and your inner self, a mutation could occur when you transformed into a Vampire. After all, you were basically being reborn into a new being that you subconsciously desired.
And this effect was most visible in Vampires created by the Progenitors.
'Perhaps when she was in the state when she was about to be raped, her subconscious wished she were strong enough to overpower her attackers, and that was one of the catalysts for this mutation.'
That little punch that Bruna threw was equivalent to Pepper attacking using some of her martial arts, and Bruna's punch was completely inefficient. It didn't carry the proper momentum it should've had, had she thrown it with proper technique. She didn't use her whole body nor put her weight into it.
And yet, that punch had so much destructive power.
"I've decided." Scathach took a step and disappeared, only to reappear again, holding a pair of black gloves and a pair of black boots.
"Use these."
"... Why-... I mean, yes!" Bruna was going to ask why, but one thing she'd learned was to never question the older woman's methods.
Bruna quickly put on her gloves and boots, and soon her whole body felt heavy.
"Ugh," She fell to the ground as if the gravity around her had gotten heavier.
"The basis of any martial artist who uses their fists as their main weapon is the balance of their body, and the movements of their feet."
"Do you remember how Victor and I can disappear just by taking one step?"
"Y-Yes..." She tried to get up, but she couldn't, which was absurd given how much strength she had.
"That's one of the results of this training. Even if you give up using fists in the future, your footwork training will always be with you, and that's what matters." That was one of the reasons Victor was so proficient at hand-to-hand fighting.
The woman had tortured him for six months. Unlike now, where Scathach had several people to train,
Victor had 100% of Scathach's attention in those six months and coupled with his monstrous talent, Scathach ended up creating a monster in those six months.
"Hehehe~. You'll have fun, don't worry." Scathach chuckled when she saw Bruna's state.
Bruna made a face of reluctance but didn't say anything since she knew that if she talked, the training would only get worse.
"For now, try to stand and correct your balance."
"Y-Yes..."
"Oh, don't forget to think about the weight your breasts cause."
"Eh?"
Sigh.
Scathach sighed as she cupped both her breasts, "That's one of the disadvantages of being a voluptuous woman. Your breasts are heavy, and unconsciously, you ignore that weight. And that's wrong. If you want to have a good balance, you always have to think about how heavy your breasts are until eventually, you compensate for it."
Boing, Boing.
Seeing the 'indecent' moves that Scathach was making, Bruna was speechless; 'Is this woman doing this unconsciously? She has that look like she's looking at something useless.'
"Since your breasts are bigger than mine, you're going to have a lot of trouble managing your body weight, and so, because of that, I've been saying this from the beginning."
"I… I understand, Master." Bruna answered with a little difficulty.
"Umu..." She nodded satisfied:
"When you regain the ability to move around, I will teach you martial arts. For now, do exercises and practice your basics."
"Y-Yes."
Scathach took a step and appeared in front of Roberta:
"Just like the others, I will train your foundations and teach you proper martial arts. A proper martial art for you would be something that can take advantage of your special eyes and that has enough strength and agility."
"...I will be in your care, Master." She spoke with a gentle tone.
"..." Scathach nodded as she looked at the woman's body, specifically an area of her body.
'Ugh, this is going to be complicated. Why does Victor only choose Maids with big breasts…. Doesn't he know what a pain it is to train their foundations because of that?' Scathach was a little irritated.
Having big breasts was inconvenient for training!
"Master, don't look at my breasts like you're looking at something useless..." She cupped her breasts as if protecting her children.
"..." Looking at the pout on the woman's face, Scathach rolled her eyes.
"Tie up your long hair. It will get in the way of training."
"Yes~." Roberta pulled at her long black hair that reached the floor and secured it in a ponytail.
Scathach knew how much her heroic spirit appreciated her own hair. This must be one of the reasons why she didn't cut her hair, although her hair didn't stink because she took such good care of it.
"Master, you might find these useless..." She touched her breasts with a playful smile and continued:
"But my Master likes them a lot..."
"..." Scathach raised her eyebrows. She had no idea where this woman was going with that.
Of course, she knew that her stupid disciple liked that. After all, when they showered together, he always looked at her figure shamelessly.
As she felt satisfied by her disciple's attention, she didn't say anything either.
"When we were stuck on Earth, my Master would always say that he missed you and missed laying his head on your breasts." Roberta lied as easily as if she were breathing.
Victor missed Scathach, but he wasn't going to say it out loud. After all, his mother had taught him to be a knight and not a degenerate pervert.
And Scathach knew it, she knew it was a lie.
Roberta also told the lie, knowing that Scathach would know, but Roberta's goal was to show how much Victor appreciated them.
"I see... Well, they're not completely useless since you can use them to make your male opponents lower their guard and cut off their genitals."
"Fufufufu~." Roberta smiled with satisfaction when she saw the slight smile on Scathach's face.
The woman might not realize it, but any compliment coming from Victor seemed to sweeten her Spartan sergeant personality, who trained her recruits to death. However, in the case of Roberta-
"Licking my boots isn't going to make your training any less difficult, you know?" Scathach raised an eyebrow as she flashed a wicked smile.
"Yes, I know~." Roberta displayed the same smile as the woman...
The two stared at each other for a while and realized something.
In a way, the two were similar...
Stopping their chat,
Scathach began giving Roberta instructions, and when she was done, she looked at the gorilla with a smile that promised death.
'Fuck... She won't ignore me?' The gorilla wanted to cry as he looked at his Master, only to see that Roxanne was smiling at him with her sharp teeth.
[I know you have traumas with her, but deal with it. You need to get strong to protect me.]
Tears started to fall from the gorilla's face, he felt abandoned now. He knew he'd told Victor that he would study and learn about the world. And that he could do, but train? He didn't want that! But now this woman was focusing her attention on him!
He's just a poor gorilla who wants to lie in the tree, scratch his ass and eat bananas!
"Hey? Are you crying with tears of joy? Good! That gives me even more motivation!" Scathach's smile shook the gorilla's entire existence.
'Fuck, how can that man like this woman? He has a couple of screws loose!'
The gorilla was seriously questioning Victor's crazy female tastes.
"This will be my first time teaching a demon beast~." She laughed as she approached the Gorilla.
"This is going to be so much fun~."
