After around 8 hours. Deacon learning what he can do with fire and Jacob pulling bullshit out of his ass crack. The day turns to just after night. Deacon resting after several more beatings and a report on his progress wo5h his current quest. "So You're telling me you can't even handle an elf?" Maiciel gave him a judging look and a slight tilt of her head."I just got here okay! How the heck am I supposed to be expected to do missions on literal day one!" A slap respunded and soon after a crash. "Speak to me again with that tone and I'll give you remedial lessons. Got it worm?" Raising her heel as she stands over him she grinds it on his head. "This is where useless bugs belong licking the floor clean. Now I want this entire place spotless I don't care if you feel tired or sore. Get it done and then after eating gruel sleep."
Thus was the day ended for an abused Deacon. For another man it was just going to be a nonstop study session and a more in depth thought of how to use the Orb.
Jacob seeing there was a place far into the ocean with some land decided after that run in with the walking talking forced evolution bunny he would train here until morning and then go back to Olympus to help Deacon out with his training.
"One day? Yeah he won't get anywhere far but its baby steps. Consistency consistency consistency then rest. Lord knows how much Deacon will need it from that merciless maid. Who's idea was it to make a drill seargent into a monster girl then train her in hell?"
After re anchoring and then binding Olympus to the far off Island Jacob looks around for any unwanted visitors or wildlife. The one thing he didn't want to meet besides that bunny was a Youma. High level Monster women with bullshit abilities. He had some nightmarish thoughts of squid, Cuttlefish, and Octopus monster girls that made his skin crawl. Too many tentacles and too many ways to restrain him.
"First off. Cultivation. Finding that magical energy from Olympus and circulating it. Or do I need an actual cultivation base before hand? The phrase 'You need money to make money' sounds like a fair start. I have some mana in my body but I can't yet figure out how to use it. Should I meditate until morning or search for the energy and try to circulate it no wait dumb question both!"
Jacob sat upon a smooth rock and focused on himself and tried to feel for the energy within as he started breathing slowly in and slowly out tuning out the world and losing himself within his own world? Soul? Mind? He didn't quite know but he let it be snd continued to focus. He felt it out for several hours until he decided to stop snd take a break opening his eyes to see a fish girl in front of him. Not quite ready for a conversation he stood up backed up about a meter before he spoke. "Good morning? You wouldn't happen to uh... You know what you probably are..." The fish girl smiled started to talk but he couldn't understand her tilting his head. "One moment." Tapping into the Olympus space he poked his ear and listened.
"I've never seen a fish like you before are you what is known as human? Wait no you can't understand me so maybe I should just nab you and take you to see mother! She knows a bunch about many strange things!" She approached Jacob and gently pulled him to the beach eager to learn from her mother as her scaled tail flicks left and right happily.
"Sorry but I can't talk with you Misses fish. I'm quite busy." Jacob shook his head and wondered when he would get the chance to train quietly. She ignoring him just kept dragging me into the ocean and towards it's depths. For the rest of the night Jacob would be a guest of a fish woman family and their Sea Anemone milf. Thinking about the knowledge of Monster girl quest and the version of that visual novel called Paradox I tried to rememher if there were any peaceful monster girls besides the pink rabbit slimes. Not seeing much Info pop up in his mind he summons the book to look through it before getting disturbed by the fish hostess Mertle.
The very same Clown Fish monster girl who Jacob thinks is half mermaid. "Dinner is ready! I came to collect you~" She happily swims up to me and gently holds my wrist. "What's that?" Tilting her head. Her gaze fell onto the book in my hand. After touching his throat I focus on the power he had used before to becable to hear her language in english. Turning his voice into one she could understand. "It's a book about many different things. I can summon it but as you can see no one else can read it I think." Jacob shows her the book and see if she can read it.
She couldn't as expected and gave Jacob a raised and confused eyebrow? Did fish women have eyebrows Jacob thought. "It's a magical book don't worry so much about it. You said dinner was ready? Lets go~ I am curious about how cooking in the sea goes."
Jacob gently guided her towards the door before she took charge and dragged him along with her seeing how Jacob was absurdly slow in the water walking like a man weighed down by an anchor. They were indeed at a depth of 115 feet where normal sea anemones snd coral wouldn't grow. The pressure was unlike anything Jacob had imagined.
"Good to see our slow fish man has made it to the dinner table!~ You'll get your sea legs eventually." The doting mother Clown fish smiled as Jacob was dragged along Mertle's wake to the table. Her name was Marlene and sometimes Marley when she had to be. Whatever that meant to the two Clownfish women. Jacob felt a shiver as he thought about it, must've been the waves. "Thank you for having me alongside you both for dinner." She chuckled and waved a fin? Hand? Finand? Flipper? Jacob was confused what to call it. "No problem Mertle brings people who are always good hearted. I trust you wouldn't have bad intentions if she's involved. Tonight we're having Sashimi Seaweed salad and Rice. For desert ... Well I'll let it be a surprise~" He was never getting out of here without being squeezed dry was he.
That nighty he didn't get to sleep and remembered why this world had a genocidal goddess.
