budding love

After ashborn returned frigga is waiting for him in her room. Looking at his condition she sighed and started healing ashborn with her magic. Looks like she knows ashborn will probably beaten today.

After treating his wounds, she asked the servants to take ashborn for bath and then bring him some food. The servants took him to the bath as Frigga asked. All of them are female, ashborn at first felt wierd but he got used to it in these years.

After taking a bath, he ate the food and slept for that day. He is going to continue to practice with hela. Progress is made everytime, today he observed hela didn't take him seriously at all. It's understandable as he is still only at the level of elite soldier.

From tomorrow onwards he is going with her and also learn to properly use his divinities. The next day hela is still waiting for him. Ashborn as she asked brought some books Frigga selected for hela and along with delicious food.

Hela took it and then started their spar. She again start to beat him violently. But she observed he is starting make progress and adapt to her fighting style. Smiling she started using more force.

Today many bones in Ashborn's body are aching. They withstood Hela's impact to a certain level. Ashborn felt his body is all sore but the determination to battle made him continue. Hela also started using magic that is known to her in the fight and stated the mistakes he did in his magic.

Like this another day of training ended, but Ashborn's condition is worse than yesterday. Sighing Frigga healed him again. Like this the training continued. Odin also monitered Ashborn's rapid growth in strength.

In just a year Ashborn like hela stated reached peak planetary level, he can now go to battlefield to earn experience. Odin sighed and looked at his two sons. Thor and Loki, though they're making progress it's very less than Ashborn.

They didn't even reached the planetary level. On the other hand, Ashborn completed his studies in the academy of magic and warfare. He acted them all and even beat all records set by loki.

He also learned a few other types of magic. But it's still not enough for him. Hela's brutal training is working well but the template progress stagenated at 30%. He also didn't receive it's progress as sign in rewards again.

Looks like he himself need to dwell into understanding his divinities. His death divinity is mainly guided by hela, but other types of divinities need to be learned by him. A bond also developed between hela and ashborn.

Previously when she beat him up she will just walk away and do her things but now she will take him to her room where she made all things by herself using magic. Of course she won't heal but at least she won't leave ashborn on ground which smells like blood.

Hela has a small love for ashborn but it's too small develop into true love. At most she will only care for him a little, what is even more surprising is that he saw her smile a couple of times. It's a nice smile that suits her cold face.

Thor and loki also observed his disappearance for hours and asked where is gone? He just replied he is learning magic in the library and honing his skills. Thor laughed saying magic is weaklings not even caring about loki and other mages looking at him like an idiot.

Sighing ashborn returned to the realm of hel, but as soon as he entered he saw a sowed flying into his face. Dodging it in a hurry he saw a barrage of them releasing on him. He looked back to see hela who is angry.

This confused him what did he do to offend hela again. Let's see, hmm there is nothing he did to anger her. Hela looked at him coldly and said," your progress stagenated again. We'll increase the hardness of your training. Brace yourself, if you get hurt at any part of your body by my sword, you probably won't be able to use that part for sometime. Now let's fight ".

Ashborn gulped hela started using her arsenal now. To say it's a beating is an understatement. She is an outright bully. Ashborn didn't even get a chance to fight. In the end he has to use Adam's eyes and senses to put some burden on his body to fight her.

He can see the time slowed down around him or he accelarated, yet it didn't do anything to hela. She can move normally and kicked him away while he landed outside her palace.

Coughing he held his stomach which is bruised and said," can't you atleast give me some preparation time?", his words only resulted in another barrage of swords along with a cold voice," your enemy in war won't give you time to prepare. Be serious and fight me if you don't you'll die".

Ashborn sighed and started getting serious. He is now feeling the lost spirit of battle again. Moreover thwre is another feeling, the feeling of excitement of his power stirring. Yes, his body isn't fully adoated to the templates as he is still developing as an Asgardian.

That's also the reason he can't exert the strength of two templates fully even at 30%. As usual he is beaten violently at the last moment hela almost used her sword blast his head away. But she didn't, she only knocked him down with her sword hilt. Then taking him she kissed his forehead before placing him on her bed. She sat on the throne while reading the books Frigga sent her while a small smile bloomed her face.
