The Bottled Souls
Sitting beside the wall, Selena and Saber discussed the soul's ability.
"When you add something, the value obviously increases. The soul is the same. When a soul has added another soul, it becomes one, and the powers of both souls also become one." Selena explained in a metaphoric way.
Saber understood as he asked another question, "So does that mean that if my talent is zero. When it is added by something of greater value, then my talent will increase?" He asked with great curiosity.
"That's basically it." Selena said.
Saber was bothered by something, that if this was a loophole, he could probably be the strongest person... no, even to a god in the whole universe, "When you mentioned I can't take a tier 2 soul as of yet, how about just consuming all of tier 1 souls?" He asked.
"I know you'd say that." Selena said as Saber's eyes widened, "If you add too much water in a bottle, it will obviously overflow. If you want to take all souls inside you, then the bottle or you, needs to become bigger and stronger for the souls to be placed." She explained as Saber actually found a loophole, "but..."
"But?" Yet, it wasn't a loophole that Saber expected after all.
"Souls can't be underestimated. Even if you take your time, you will probably die from consuming all of tier 1 souls when you can consume tier 2 or higher tiers. It is simply a waste of time." She continued once more.
"I see... so how strong is tier 2 souls?" Saber asked.
"One tier 2 soul is equivalent to fifty Tier 1 soul." She answered.
Saber stood up to a shocking degree as he continued all of the questions that were inside of his mind, "Then—" but before he could even talk, he was cut off by Selena.
"Did you remember the pain from two Tier 1 souls? Imagine taking in fifty at the same time." Selena said as she stared at Saber with a serious expression, "Imagine the pain you will experience from one Tier 2 souls, so be patient." She continued.
Saber finally understood, if he was too take more Tier 1 soul, either way, his improvement will drastically multiply. So he can't be impatient, as either way can benefit him greatly.
"I see..." Saber stood up as the questions inside his head were all answered. Well, most of them, "Wanna come to my house?" Saber asked as Selena nodded. They realized it was almost dusk as the sun was already setting.

Walking down the path towards Saber's house, Selena grabbed his shirt tightly. He looked behind to see that Selena was somewhat serious as she was looking straight into Saber's eyes.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"Can we... still not have sex?" Selena asked as she looked like she took all her courage to sat that as she was blushing.
Saber blushed instantly, "W-what are you talking about!?" He stuttered again as Selena's straightforward question took him by surprise, "But since we're couples now... then..." Yet Saber scratched his head, awkwardly trying to say it's okay.
"Really?!" Selena's eyes brightened as Saber looked at her as her breast jumped up and down from Selena's excitement. Selena noticed this as she stopped and covered her breast, "Pervert..." She said.
"N-no, I didn't mean to. I was..." Saber started to blush as he turned away from Selena, "distracted." he continued.
Selena smiled as Saber's eyes opened, realizing something, "Why are you so eager to have sex with me?" He asked as Selena looked surprised.
Selena stopped, "I wanna do it with you before the other gods do." she said as Saber did not understand what he meant. He remembered that it was rare for gods to choose one partner as there are already 7 billion people in the world.
"So... will you?" Selena asked once more as she took a closer look at Saber. Saber's cheeks turned red as he nodded furiously. He didn't have a choice! Selena was so close to his face that he can't say no when he can see her glistening lips!

It already turned dark when they are walking towards home when Selena sensed something, "Saber..." She called out his name.
Saber looked at him as she stared back, "Someone's following us." She said as Saber's eyes completely widened up. He looked behind only to see the darkness that was looming around the place.
He did not know why but he didn't look scared, "Come out!" He shouted as his voice echoed throughout the whole path.
The reason why he was not scared is that he felt stronger. It wasn't from confidence either, because a Goddess is with him, a woman he can't even defeat, and that woman that obviously went easy on him.
"Ohh, you noticed us?" A familiar deep voice appeared from the shadows as a figure of five people came out from the looming darkness. A familiar face showed up as the mule and his fillies came out with bats and steel poles.
"He tried to take me in earlier." Selena recognized him as Saber was surprised at what she said. Even though they were new couples, Saber did not take that as an excuse for someone to flirt with his very first girlfriend.
Saber's atmosphere suddenly changed as his expression became furious. The feeling of something he owns stolen before him was unacceptable!
"I don't know why but I became more fearless than before." He muttered as he walked towards the five men unguarded. Like radiating poison, the five men felt something wrong about the boy in front of them.
"Oy, isn't that the boy we made fun last year?" One of the men remembered as the others quickly followed.
"Yeah, I remember him! We made him go around the school with only his boxers!"
"So a twerp's acting tough?" The mule questioned as his friends nodded. He grinned wide as he cracked his fingers, "I don't know how you wooed a girl like Selena but if we can't have her, we'll just force her!" The mule continued as his face expressed an imagination full of pleasure.
"We're gonna keep her shut and rape her when nobody's watching! We'll cut her tongue after so she'll never be able to speak, and we'll cut her arms so she will never be able to point! We'll break her up, real good!" The mule shouted as he opened his arms.
Selena was watching them seriously as she took a step forward, "Don't... Selena." Saber looked behind to stare at Selena with his monotoned eyes. Selena smiled as she saw something that has already grown inside Saber.
Selena decided not to interfere as Saber looked back at the five men that were in front of him, "You better be thankful I hadn't let Selena join the fight." Saber muttered out loud as the mule had a confused expression.
"You would've died." Saber suddenly appeared in front of one of the men as their heads turned towards him. He threw a punch to the face as Saber jumped and swipe kicked to hit one of the men to the face, causing two men to fall down unconscious at the same time.
The mule, with his wooden bat, swept down only for Saber to disappear and his the ground, bending his body.
"You shouldn't use something you don't know." Saber said as he suddenly squatted behind the mule.
"Why you!" The mule's nerves popped out his forehead once more as he tried to elbow him. Saber jumped before that happened as he landed with tumbling in one of the men.
The man in front of Saber tried to hit him with his iron pole only for Saber to swipe his legs to lose his opponent's balance. At the same time, when he swiped his legs to lose his opponent's balance, he turned 360 degrees and used his knee to hit the man's face.
It happened so fast that in less than a minute, three of the five men has already fallen down.
The last filly got scared as he lost the strength to grip his wooden bat and ran off.
The last one was the mule, looking at one of his men that ran away, "That fucking pussy!" He muttered as he looked back to Saber, only to notice that he was already in mid-air.
He didn't have the time to defend using his wooden bat, his face got pummeled by a kick that it looked like his chin broke into pieces, "You're lucky... that Selena didn't get angry." Saber said as the mule fell down with whitened eyes.
Selena clapped in the background as Saber snapped. He realized what he has done as he looked at Selena with a confused expression, "I... did that?" He awkwardly pointed.
Selena took his hand and pulled him towards her as she gave him a kiss, "Thank you... for defending me." She said as Saber blushed.
"S-shut up!" Saber broke down as he didn't expect Selena to suddenly go into the offensive.
"I was doing this for them!" Saber shouted, "If you did it, they could've died!" He continued.
"Right, right..."
