Chapter 84 - Hanging with "friends"

"Ahnn~ P-Please, Helen could spot us at any time." In the kitchen, Joren was fucking Freida as she prepared lunch. A week had passed since their first 'love session' and he fucked her every night since then. He also made her pleasure him while Trey and Helen were around. 

Trey acted like he didn't know what was going on as he was forced to do so, but Helen was clueless about their acts. She was so in love with him that she brushed off anything he did that seemed out of place. 

"Ahnnn~! Ooohh~! Mmmnnnhhh~ P-Please~ Ahhnn~ Please finish q-quickly~" 

Joren slapped her ass, causing her to yelp, and filled her pussy with his jizz. 

"What was that?" Helen asked Turning to the kitchen. 

"Your mom dropped something on the floor and is picking it up, haha." 

Freida looked at him with hate in her eyes as she sucked his dick, cleaning it. 

"Oh, be careful Mom!" Helen blew a kiss at Joren and then went back to reading the book she had in her hand. 

After he came in her mouth, they finished preparing lunch, ate together, then Joren went to Helen's room along with her. 

"Hey, Joren, what are you doing today? Are you busy? Can you join me in doing something today?" Helen had gotten very comfortable with Joren and included him in her daily life. Needing to pick up something from the market? She took Joren along. Going to see her friends? She took Joren along. Going shopping? She took him. Exploring the village? She took him. Needing to take a shit? She took Joren--no she didn't as that would be uncomfortable. 

"Nope, I'm not busy and I don't have my next treatment until tomorrow, so I'm free for the rest of the day." He leaned over to kiss her on the lips. Helen melted at the kiss as she was a sucker for his affection. She grabbed his face to kiss him some more before breaking it off, her face blushed as she realized what she had done. 

"Heh, so what do you plan on doing?" He asked, bringing her in close. 

"You remember Eli (E-Lie) and his girlfriend Jill? Well, as you know, Eli has been an apprentice swordsman for one of the retired Soldiers in the village and he recently awakened his mana." 

"That's amazing! So many opportunities will come now that he has mana." Joren knew from experience how beneficial mana was. 

"Well, it turns out Jill also has mana as well." 

'Yup, I already knew that.' Joren recalled when he first met Eli and Jill. While Eli was ordinary, he sensed mana from Jill and assumed that she was either in the process of awakening it, just awakened, or was hiding the fact that she had it as Eli and Helen assumed she was mana less like them. 

"For real? She was a cultivator all this time?" He asked, acting as if he didn't already know. 

"Yeah. She didn't want Eli or me to feel left out so she kept it hidden. She's pretty shy so I'm not surprised that she did. Oh, apparently, she's been working with the local alchemist and plans to go into the arcane study of magic." 

"That's amazing! The arcane practices, although not as stable, offer more opportunities and compensation for their work." Since arcane magic has many branches, their skills and expertise are sought after more than people who only have elemental magic. 

"But what do I have to do with this?" Joren asked 

"W-Well, Eli knows that you're a martial artist so he wanted to ask if you were up for a spar. Since he now has mana, he was hoping to 'cross blades with you' as those were his words." 

"I'm down. When does he want to meet?" 

"Really! Oh, thank you!" She kissed him on the lips. "I love you!" She got up, fixed her hair, and put on something that Joren assumed was a solution to make the skin shine. "He said just come to the usual hang-out spot before nightfall if you're interested." 

"Alright, let's go." They exited the room. 

"Mom, Joren, and I are going to meet with friends, we'll be back later." 

Freida looked visibly worried as she didn't want to leave her daughter alone with Joren, but she also knew she couldn't do anything. 'At least she will be with her friends.' She thought. 

"O-Okay, be safe out there honey. And make sure you come back home before dark." She stumbled over her words a bit but managed to get everything out without Helen noticing her behavior. 

"Come on Joren!" Helen ran out the door. 

"Oh shoot. Hold on Helen, I left my sword in my room. Let me go grab it real quick." 

"Okay. I'll race you there! See if you can catch up with me!" She bolted toward their meeting spot. Helen had been 'competing' with Joren when they went out here and there as she thought it would be fun to see if she could win a race against him if she had a head start.

"Freida." Joren said coldy 

"Please don't do anything to my daughter." She pleaded 

"Don't worry, I won't. I'm genuinely entertaining her interests right now." He chuckled, walking over to her and pulling down her blouse to play with her breasts. 

"Why are you doing this? What have I done to deserve this?" Freida didn't know Joren was torturing Trey and he told her not to tell anyone about what he did, so she assumed he only had ill intentions toward her. 

"You'll find out tomorrow night, but for now, make sure your pussy is ready for me tonight as I'm not gonna stop fucking you until the morning." 

"Y-Yes, I u-understand." She was visibly shaking at this point and Joren just laughed at that. 

"Good." He slapped her ass and left the house. 

Although she hated Joren, her body did like his touch as every time he forced her to do sexual activities with him, although she didn't like it mentally and morally, her body still reacted to his touches making her wet and giving her orgasms. 

Joren flew in the sky heading to the hangout spot when he saw Helen running as fast as she could, avoiding people and parkouring around the market as she tried to make it there first. He landed in the open field where they usually hang out and sat in the grass waiting for Helen to arrive. 

Panting as she made her way up the sloping hill, she brushed the sweat off her forehead. "D-Did I beat him?" 

"Almost, you were so close. Maybe you should train a bit more." Helen turned her head to the voice just to see Joren lying in the grass playing with a fireball. 

"Dammit! I'll beat you next time." She walked over to cuddle with him until Eli and Jill arrived. 

About an hour later, Eli and Jill arrived and made their way up the hill. Eli was slightly shorter than Joren, around 5'10. He had dirty blonde hair and a lean muscular build. He was 16 and his parents were saving up to afford sending him to the academy. 

Jill was pretty short, coming around at 5'2. She had long dark black hair that reached her hips and dark black eyes. Her boobs were big alongside her ass and she had an hourglass figure. She was also very shy, usually keeping her head down when she spoke to people she was unfamiliar with. She was 17 but her parents couldn't afford to send her to the academy so she stayed home to help work. 

"Yo, Eli, Jill, how are you?" Joren got up and gave Eli a man hug while Jill hugged Helen. Helen then went to hug Eli and Joren went to hug Jill but she hesitated for a bit as she still wasn't comfortable with him. 

"Ahh, my bad, still getting used to me." Joren backed away and smiled 

Blushing slightly, she hung her head down and spoke softly. "N-No i-it okay. I-It's just me who is nervous. I-I usually don't t-touch guys so p-please understand." 

"It's all good, Jill, no worries. Hmm?" Joren noticed something about Jill's aura, and not mana aura, but the feeling she gave off. She seemed more pulled away, unfocused, sad maybe? Her mana also attracted black mana particles which were never there before. 'Black mana? The shadow element? Hmmm.' 

"Are you okay Jill?" Joren asked with concern

She looked at him with eyes that told him she wasn't okay but gave a fake smile. "Y-Yes I'm fine. J-Just getting used t-to my mana practices." 

"Don't push yourself too hard, okay?" Eli spoke. 

Jill frowned for a split second at Eli's concern which was shocking to Joren. Eli and Helen didn't notice it but Joren did as his senses were greatly heightened. 

'I'll look into this later.' Joren thought to himself. 

"So, Eli, you wanted to spar?" Quickly changing the subject, Joren wanted to focus on what they were out here for. 

"Yeah, man. I was hoping to see if I can contend with you now that I have mana." He gave a smug look as if he was the best at what he did. 

'Now that I think about it, I never told them how skilled I was. They know I'm 15 so they probably think I'm just average and just so happened to be one of those very few fortunate commoners who awakened multiple elements.' It's true, some commoners happened to have talent and are naturally more intuned with mana than others. 

"You know you'll lose right?" Joren chuckled 

"We'll see once we cross that bridge." Eli smirked then lunged at Joren.
