Chapter 20

And thus, a full week goes by. And not a second of it was wasted, every minute was filled with a multitude of tasks such as cleaning an entire mansion in under 12 hours for "training" Mister Miyagi style

Another 6 for lessons, 4 for butler/maid duties and the two for rest. Fortunately the two little white haired gremlins entered a highly motivated state called

HYPERFIXATION

Some are fammilier with this word, others can call it the flow state. But Alex and Alexa calls it, "The Time to Get To Fucking Work Everyone, FULL SPEED AHEAD" or "FOR THE GRIND" or "FUCK YEAH CRACK IS AMAZING" etc etc...

In other words everything they did was awesome to them, learning about magic? Fucking mint, reading history books? What used to be a boring and mind numbing process for the two them, only felt like they were reading fantasy books. Except everything did happen and is real! Fucking mint.

They were so enthusiastic with everything they did even the ones who were teaching them were impressed.

"Why did the orcs attack the elves!" Felicia yelled as she smacked her hand on the table, making it creak from her strength.

The two of them raised their hands high into the sky and spouted at the same time.

"BECAUSE THE ORCS ARE FUCKING STUPID!"

"BECAUSE THE ORCS ARE FUCKING STUPID!"

"CORRECT!" Felicia proudly nodded at the blatant racism she was teaching their oh so innocent minds~

In hindsight, they both knew the actual reason why and we're only playing along with their 'teacher' as to not anger her...as much

They were smart enough not to judge everyone solely based on appearance or what their ancestors did.

The only thing that mattered to them was the 'present' and the now, i.e how you are as a being with a conscious.

But just because they think and base their values this way, doesn't mean they aren't naive. They've dived deep into the trenches and crevices of the internet and grown a little numb to certain topics.

For example how easy it is for them to accept that they died and currently living in a world where vampires aren't feared, but respected and had people actually offer themselves to said vampires for them to drink their blood.

More on that later

Anyhow, safe to say they know the darkness of reality and will probably not hesitate to bisect someone so their names aren't Gojo but only Jo...heh, probably that is.

Their system so far however... they're still figuring stuff out. Ever since they managed to activate it, it was still being buggy. Descriptions changed but still had the same message to it, sometimes when they call upon it it doesn't pop up until a few minutes later.

For example, imagine you opened a tab on chrome. But you're lagging, so you click a bunch of times to open a new tab. And all of a sudden you get swamped with new open tabs so you have to manually close them all?

It was like that but except the tabs never went away in your vision and followed wherever you looked.

The only thing that had a some semblance of reliability was their shared Inventory since that's where they kept their cleaning stuff in so they didn't have to go to the nearest broom closet which were all scattered around the goddamn huge as fucking mansion.

And currently the two 'siblings' are out in the backyard training with Garnet. Except the backyard could be considered a whole football field! Granted most of it was just a garden (that they also had to tend too since they were the only minimum wage servants in the premises)

*WHACK*

"OW! DAMN" Alex yelped as he got hit in the ass with a wooden sword "Pay attention if you don't want me to go harder" Garnet said with a blank tone but slightly amused expression on her face.

"Hit him harder! He's into girls beating his ass~" Alexa shouted on the sidelines as she teased her mirror image. Alex rubbed his ass to lighten the pain as he pointed his wooden sword towards her "Oh shut up! You'll have a turn getting your ass whooped anyway-"

Alexa snorted as she fixed her silver white hair into a ponytail, Alex having to look away for a bit as he had a slight blush from looking at what Alexa was currently wearing.

She had a pretty tight sports bra on that despite doing it's best efforts into hugging her breasts to her chest so it doesn't bounce everywhere while she trained- was still pretty hot in his eyes.

Granted he'd find her attractive even if she wore rags smeared in shit...

He loved her after all and wasn't ashamed to say it outloud, although he won't explain it in detail so it'll only be a half truth to others anyway.

Garnet swung her sword towards the air as the it made a cracking sound. Interrupting their banter, "Enough of that, Alexa you're up next" She said facing her as Alex stuck his tounge out at Alexa.

"Aw mannnn" Alexa sulked, Alex walking up to her and giving her the wooden sword "Ha~hah hahahaaaa~" he mockingly laughed at her.

"Hold on now" Garnet suddenly spoke out, causing Alex to freeze as she asked him an impromptu question"What do you think, did you do wrong during our spar...if you can even call it that" she said the last part to herself

"Uhhh-" Alex started his amazing answer off with the usual sound a guy his age would make Infront of a class. He fiddled with his fingers for a bit "I was too distracted? I guess?"

Garnet quirked her eyebrow up "You guess? Or you know? You have to be confident in a fight Alex" She said with a frown on her face...which was her default expression.

She sighed but nodded her head slightly "Yes you were distracted...and you were off balanced...and you were horrible frankly"

Each and every word in that sentence went right through Alex as he acted like he was getting shot from every angle. Alexa giggled at his bit.

"But..." Garnet started to slowly walk up to him "You have potential, you seem to know how you'll attack and you managed to dodge a couple of hits. But you're body and mind aren't connected enough"

Alex and Alexa were confused by this statement. Garnet standing right Infront of him, looking down as he was a couple inches shorter. Placed a finger tip unto his head, "You know how to anticipate, to predict. That is a good trait to have in a fighter. But you trust to much on your predictions and commit to a move too early"

She pressed a finger on his shoulder and pushed "You're too stiff" she switched and pushed his other shoulder "You're untrained" and finally she placed her finger unto his chest, directly over his heart "But you got the determination and the guts to countinue and sometimes...that's all you need to go forward"

Alex and Alexa took her words to heart as they looked at Garnet with a determined gaze. Dropping her finger from Alex's chest she turned around "Get into position" She said referring to Alexa.

"Y-yes'm" Alexa panicked as she stood up from the ground wooden sword in hand. Alex smoothly giving her a small quick kiss on the lips to calm her down "You can do it..." He whispered comfortingly as she took a deep breath. Nodding she hurriedly went to the designated spot and took a stance.

All this happened with Garnets back turned...as she was busy trying not to get over how embarrassing her own small little monologue of encouragement were, the blush which was on her face barely visible on her dark skin.

Clearing her throat she spoke out "Ahem...I'll be giving myself a handicap for you Alexa, I'll only be using one hand" she blankly stated, moving her dominant right hand behind her back.

"What! No fair, you used both of your hands on my turn" exclaimed Alex, although he had a small smirk on his face was saying so

Garnet surprisingly had a smirk on her face "Wouldn't want your sister to get hurt wouldn't we?"

Alexa then shouted "Is it because I'm a woman!"

"W-WHAT NO! IM A WOMAN TOO-"

Alex added with a dramatic gasp "MISOGYNY I CALL MISOGYNY" "WOMAN HATER"

"I DONT HATE WOMEN!"
