Aurora Over a Dead World

“[I’m sorry, Zenith-sama, but I didn’t quite understand the purpose of this training? It’s a little confusing. Could you explain it in more detail so I can help you make adjustments?]” Aya asks in confusion.

This makes me think about Aya’s name for a brief moment. She is A.Y.A Nex because the name itself represents the kind of assistance she provides, and the Nex is because I used an old Nexus database so she could have concrete information from the start. So I ended up calling her Aya, and she fulfills her support function quite well.

“Haaa…” I let out a sigh that is visible in the moving steam. I’m sitting on the floor with my legs spread in a W-sitting position, with a sex toy buried deep inside me.

I’m also inside a training room that I made with a few modifications. The room is releasing extreme heat, though not enough to be dangerous, so it’s like an extremely hot sauna, and I have a bucket of water on my head and a gun in my hand.

“I-I’m training my coordination… because of my military training, I already have training for dealing with pain, so injuries won’t stop me in combat.”

“However, I’m preparing to face Nêmesis, and she’s a problematic target, and worse, she’s smart enough to create distractions or use machines and chemicals in fights.”

“So I’m putting my body in a stressful, uncomfortable situation that interferes with my concentration,” I explain to her while moving slightly upward and then downward as I balance the bucket of water on my head.

“With the sex toy inside me while I have to move up and down and aim, it gets really strange and uncomfortable and interferes with my movements. The bucket on top of my head forces me to balance it without having much room to move, and the heat quickly increases exhaustion, makes me thirsty, and makes me sweat, interfering with some things.”

“Besides that, I’m using the gun to aim at the training support and fire to see if my aim remains perfect…” I added several things that individually break my focus all at once to push me to my limit.

“[I understand that part. Since the toy is fixed to the floor, you lose almost 78% of your range of motion, making it impossible to leave your position, while also having to be extremely careful with the bucket on your head.]”

“[The heat also makes sense. It increases exhaustion, and since you keep slowly bouncing on the toy, the chance of the bucket falling during a moment of distraction is greater. And since you have to aim and fire, you end up having many things to think about at the same time while trying to ignore the internal discomfort.]”

“[However, is this training really the most efficient?]”

“Yes, for a few practical reasons, it is… I… don’t have muscles, nor can I gain muscles because of my prosthetics, so other training methods are less efficient.”

“Besides, I’m already good at dodging, and I have excellent aim. This current training is for maximum concentration regardless of the situation, and I’m also training the inside of my body.”

“Normally, you can only use vector powers to defend the outside, while the inside of the body is difficult to protect. With this training, I’m trying to improve that.”

“After all, a punch from Nêmesis landing directly on my stomach would explode my internal organs if it didn’t just go straight through my body. So instead of making the defense like a film beneath the skin, I want something more like multiple layers of defense.”

“[Oh, I understand. In that regard, it makes sense. The vagina, mouth, and anus would be the points that provide the easiest access to the inside of the body, and that’s why you’re not showing active sexual activity, since you’re simultaneously defending yourself internally against the toy.]”

“Something like that…” I fire at the training support, making the bucket tremble. I quickly balance it by moving my head slightly, which makes the toy drag inside me, causing me to pant.

‘It’s so hot…’ There’s also an extra factor I don’t want to tell Aya about. Since Nadir isn’t around, I don’t have any military activities to do, and I don’t have to teach anymore, so I’ve ended up feeling a little lonely. That’s why I’ve been engaging in more sexual activities because I’m a little needy, but I’ll never admit that.

“[Isn’t it dangerous for you to become dehydrated? You’re losing a lot of fluid through your sweat and sexual fluids. Also, is it natural for you to get this aroused from training?]”

“F-For now, everything’s fine. Besides, it’s not the craziest thing I’ve ever done…” I try to change the subject quickly. Obviously, this isn’t the most exciting thing of all, but I do feel some pleasure from it.

“[Can I know more?]” Talking with Aya is helping distract me from the discomfort, so I decide to keep talking while slowly reloading the gun.

“I’m not very talented, so I’ve always had to work very hard. To learn how to defend myself from vector and normal attacks, I had to do quite a lot. I didn’t understand how to use this ‘defense.’ It’s a strange thing,” I tell her honestly. I don’t need to make something up for this situation.

“The best way to defend against an attack that has already hit you is to reduce the damage it causes as much as possible, but I didn’t understand how to do that. So I tied myself upside down and used a machine to keep punching me continuously.”

“I did that for weeks until I learned, and to improve my aim with firearms and thrown objects, I trained intensely as well, having to shoot at targets based on unpredictable trajectories. I had to predict where the moving target would be through small signals from the machine, which required me to remain still without moving a single muscle.”

“And now, to me, this current training seemed like the best thing I could do without being rich enough to have all kinds of things that would help. It would be great to have a simulator like they have at the academy…”

“But since I don’t have one, I’m improvising.”

“[Sex toy, bucket of water, hot environment, and shooting at targets… quite a curious combination, but since the purpose is to increase your concentration, wouldn’t it be better for the sex toy to move inside you?]”

“…Haaa… technically, yes, but I can’t maintain my concentration if it moves… it’s already difficult with it staying still inside me.” It’s way too hot, which makes it harder to concentrate.

Besides, even though part of me wanted to feel a different kind of pleasure, I’m also treating this as real training. It’s something serious, and that’s true, even if the training started in part because I wanted some new stimulation.

“[So the training is working, but you’re comfortable with an easier level. You should make it move. Even if you fail, you can simply repeat it by filling the bucket again. Besides, since the water has been in this hot environment for a long time, it’s quite hot too. It won’t hurt you, but it will be unpleasant, so it’s an excellent incentive not to fail.]”

“…You little sadist… I had forgotten that I gave you that kind of personality…” I made Aya to be someone who would always try to take things to a higher level, which would help keep me from stagnating while I was alone.

“[Can I access the toy’s controls to make it move?]”

“…Sure, I guess… but first, bring me some ice-cold water… haaa… I’m dying of thirst.” The training room door opens, letting some of the heat escape as a drone enters carrying a tray.

“…Just one glass?”

“[An incentive for you to finish the training.]”

“…You want to kill me, don’t you?” I take the glass of water with my free hand and start drinking quickly before the cold water starts getting warm. The sensation of drinking it is uncomfortable because my body is extremely hot.

“[Never, Zenith-sama. Can we begin now? And what will you do tomorrow? Will you do this training again?]”

“No. As soon as I finish this training, I’m not doing it again. I have another concentration exercise I want to test as well, and tomorrow I’m going to focus on weapons. I’m trying to create a powerful handgun that doesn’t use anything vector-based.” I’ve been doing different training exercises every day.

Since concentration training requires different situations, I’m doing something new each day.

“Before you turn this toy on, lower the temperature of the ‘sauna.’ I’m starting to feel a little dizzy. I’ve already been in here for three full hours. I need a break or I’m going to get sick… actually, turn the heat off. I’m taking a 30-minute break.” I stand up with effort, feeling the toy slide out as I balance the bucket.

I put the gun on the floor and pick up the bucket, placing it beside it as well. Aya quickly turns off the heat source while I lie down on the floor.

“Haa…”

“[I think it would be good for you to rest and take a shower before starting again.]”

“I think so too… fortunately, tomorrow’s training will be easier, since it’ll be more practical than something that leaves my body exposed like this… actually, I think I’ll try making a uniform for myself. It’ll be fun.” Since I have a lot of free time, I’ve been trying all kinds of things.

“[Do you need me to place a custom order for something?]”

“Not now… I just want to rest, so stay quiet…”
