Kiss

Baillie kissed Ajax on the cheek and hugged him tightly. "Looks like my brother wants to learn more. If you like, I can teach you something else," she offered, taking his hand and placing it between her chest.

Ajax, caught off guard by her sudden invitation, blushed deeply, feeling shy and unsure of how to respond. One part of his mind told him to accept her offer, while the other reminded him to treat her as his older sister. He finally stammered, "Sister…"

Baillie laughed, teasing him, "Okay, I was just joking with you. That's all, ha ha ha!" She then continued, "Look, Ajax, there are different types of sword techniques you can learn. The major ones are: Light God Style, Southern God Style, Water and Ice God Style, and Wind and Fire God Style. These are the other major sword skills you can learn. For now, understand this. When the time comes, I will tell you more. Shall we begin your training?"

As she said this, she suddenly attacked him directly, head-on. Ajax managed to react to her first attack, but he wasn't sure how to continue avoiding her strikes and soon failed miserably, being pushed back several steps.

Baillie complimented him, saying, "You're doing great, Ajax," before coming at him with double the force. Their swords collided, sending sparks flying from the impact.

"Sister, you're just attacking head-on without explaining how this Northern God Style works. You haven't taught me anything about it," Ajax complained.

Standing ready for another attack, Baillie looked at Ajax and said, "The Northern God Style technique is unique. There is no manual to learn this style. It can only be learned through mock battles."

With that, Baillie came at Ajax from all directions like the wind, trying to cut him in half. But as time passed, his learner ability, along with Ceil's guidance, helped him avoid her direct attacks more and more effectively. 

Seeing Ajax's progress, a gentle yet mischievous smile appeared on Baillie's face. She stopped her assault and said, "Looks like you're learning fast, Ajax. I have to compliment your learning ability."

Ajax laughed, "Ha ha ha, sister, you're just complimenting me too much. It's because of your teaching that I'm learning so fast."

Baillie smiled at his words, knowing how terrible she was at teaching. She remembered her time in the military camp, where her mother went to battle in other universes for resources. She was given a team to take care of, including their food, clothing, and training. When she started training them, they all became bedridden and unable to walk. Their fighting spirit was also crushed. Because of that, she was asked to fight the enemy for resources all alone. She became used to fighting alone and would only join her team when she wanted to relieve stress by beating them down.

Looking at Ajax, she marveled at how he was learning in hours what took even the greatest geniuses years to master. It was shocking to her because she was one of those geniuses. From childhood, she was called a genius. Seeing Ajax learn something in an hour that took her a year was astonishing.

"Let's start the real thing, Ajax," Baillie said as she tilted her sword downward. "Northern Sword Style, first step." As she said this, she disappeared from Ajax's sight.

Before he could react, Baillie's sword slashed across his torso, cutting his skin and causing him to bleed. She jumped down from above, kicking him in the chest and causing a small explosion. Ajax flew towards a mountain and smashed into it. His clothes and skin from the stomach area were torn apart by the attack, and he coughed blood, groaning in pain, "Aaaaaaa!"

His skin and injuries slowly started healing due to his vampire nature, but Baillie, in shock, thought she had controlled her power well. She had been excited about her brother learning so fast that she had put too much power into the attack. 

Panicking, she hurried to her brother, who was lying in a pool of blood. Ignoring the fact that his body was healing, she took out a bottle of elixir from her dimension ring and tried to make him drink it. However, he was in so much pain that he didn't notice Baillie sitting beside him, giving him the elixir.

Seeing that he wasn't responding, Baillie poured the elixir into her mouth and pressed her lips to his, making him drink the potion. Ajax's wounds began to heal rapidly due to the combined effects of the elixir and his vampire healing, but the pain persisted. He tried hard to endure it.

Suddenly, he felt a water-like substance entering his mouth. The pain started to disappear, replaced by a sweet taste he had never experienced before. As time went on, he wanted more of that sweetness. He opened his eyes to see where it was coming from and found himself kissing Baillie, mouth to mouth, in a romantic way. He saw tears in her eyes and felt his sister's genuine care for him. A small sprout of love formed in his heart, but then his world turned dark.

He saw his old self, bound by chains, standing in the darkness. Slowly lifting his head, the chained version of himself looked at Ajax and said, "Look at you, doing great, but don't forget your past. The person you want to love is a god. Remember, gods only love those who are powerful. If their partner becomes weak, they will ditch you like waste. Don't forget all the things that happened in your life, the regret you felt. Remember, no one will stay beside you if you are attacked by someone powerful. Gods are selfish. Don't forget."

As these words echoed, the chained version of Ajax disappeared into thin air. He saw Baillie still kissing him deeply. His face reddened, and he pushed her off him gently.
