Okay note to self. Do not try and out fuck a mia.

  After going another round with Sapphire, and another one after that we'd finally pulled ourselves out of bed and I can safely say my dick was sore.

  Admittedly I brought it on myself in this scenario and I wouldn't change anything but now I have to deal with the outcome. Sapphire was not fairing much better. The mia had a dopy grin as she y there panting.

  I'll take that as I did my job well.

  Leaving the mia in my or now our room I made my way towards the washroom completely naked and forgetting there was another person in with us. Needless to say Aria got an eyeful before I realized my blunder and covered my crotch with my hands.

  "Ah. Morning Aria." I said sheepishly.

  The angel in question was currently pting a row of sandwiches she had made herself and couldn't quite decide if she should look at my face, chest or crotch.

  She settled on my face after a moment of staring. "Good morning Acolyte. I have prepared breakfast if you would like some."

  "That sounds perfect. I'll ah get more presentable first." I quickly added turning around and rushing to the washroom. I still felt her eyes on my ass as I left.

  After a quick shower and taking care of a few other personal jobs I was thankful someone had the foresight to put a clean uniform on a hanger for me. Getting dressed I was just about to leave when a sleepy and still very naked mia came through the door and almost slithered into me.

  Sapphire stopped inches before we came into contact and just stared. "You look almost as good in a uniform as you do out of it."

  "Thank you?"

  Sapphire gave a snort as she finally met my eyes. "You would easily keep a family of mia happy and then some of this morning was anything to go by."

  She didn't let me respond before slithering around and getting into the shower herself. Unlike me she didn't seem to want to have a quick one and just let the water run over her body in waves. This time it was me that stared for longer than reasonable but Sapphire just gave me a wink.

  I took that t as my que to leave after burning the image into my mind. I probably didn't need to with how forthcoming she was but still.

  Joining Aria at the kitchen-ish counter noting the dispy of sandwiches and how they had each been cut into triangles and pced in rows that matched what was in them. There was eggs, what looked like beef and a single row of vegetarian.

  I took one from each to give them a try. "Thank you for getting breakfast Aria." I said around a mouthful of food.

  "You are most welcome Acolyte." Came her reply.

  "John." I said swallowing. "My names John Aria please call me that."

  "Of course Acolyte John."

  Close enough. It was kinda weird seeing someone who could break me in half with her bare hands act so timid. Kind of adorable as well.

  Picking up another sandwich I smiled through some second hand embarrassment. "Sorry about this morning as well. Should have kept it down."

  "No, not at all. I'm sorry for barging in. I should probably have known a mia and a male would be very active in that regard."

  I gave a snort. "That's one way of putting it, but I don't want you to feel forgotten or anything like that. I'm still trying to get use to how things are done out here."

  "Don't try too hard with her in that regard John. Angels are one of the few species that will hold themselves back from a casual thing because they mate for life." Sapphire interrupted as she came out of the shower in nothing but a towel she'd sling over her shoulders. It was doing a piss poor job of keeping her modiste but I don't think she cared.

  "Care to tie me up sister?" My mia asked as she came around to Aria while holding up what looked like bandages.

  "Of course."

  I definitely took an express trip to the gutter at that as Aria started to loop the bindings over Sapphires chest. I did make Sapphire promise that I would be on top some time, maybe if I tied her up that would stop her trying to regain control? I'd need some advantage because no way could I compete with the strength of her tail.

  "Wait, mate for life?"

  "Yes." Aria smiled back at me. "Angels mate for life. If our male is to die or leave we never look for another. Most angels tend to follow their mates into the afterlife. So we take extra time and care to make sure we pick the right one."

  That's not morbid at all.

  "Just means there very thorough with vetting through potential males." Sapphire added. "I don't fully understand it myself as there are too little males to pick from but they seem to still be alive so it isn't detrimental to their species."

  Aria tightened the bindings a little too tight.

  "Ouch!"

  "We choose those that are worth our everything Sapphire. Not just someone to tickle our clit for a night." Aria expined, tying one more loop and finishing off Sapphires bindings. I was slightly impressed it seemed to take her down a couple of cup sizes.

  "You make it sound like I go for every male I see." My mia grumbled. "I've never been with a male before John. I'm not a girlwhore."

  That made me rase my eyebrows in surprise.

  "I mean I've slept with a few before so I'm pretty experienced." She lied trying to shake the blush from her cheeks.

  Just like Earth if the genders were swapped I guess. No one wants to take an unskilled guy home from the bar so they show confidence even if it's fake.

  "Anyway." Aria snickered. "Since your species have the males hunt for potential partners John do you mind not pursuing me? I would like to make my own decision in this regard but I have very little doubt that Sapphire here won't wear me down eventually. Lamia do like their family units to be close after all."

  "Can I still take you on a date?" I asked going for another round of sandwiches.

  "No. But I can take you on one." She replied with a smile. "Now Sapphire go get changed we have to get to the training grounds early."

  ------

  The turquoise training ground was well very not turquoise. I mean it had a door that was turquoise but other than that it was just the normal silver or almost every other room I've been in.

  It was almost an exact copy of both the training grounds I'd got the girls from except for a firing range on one side that their ones definitely didn't have so they each knew exactly where to go.

  So the first thing we did was go towards that range where a very bored looking kitsune girl was swiping through her own tablet from behind three yers of metal wiring that acted like a barrier.

  That boredom instantly evaporated when she noticed me. "Well heya handsome."

  Before I could respond Sapphire slithered in-between us and Aria hid me in her wing.

  "Tisk. Dam guards."

  Sapphire ignored the comment. "We would like to take out three sidearms, one for each ammo type under Acolyte Johns name."

  "Then I'm just going to need him to sign for them." Came the kitsunes reply.

  Wait can't we just use Arias guns? She has plenty of them.

  Catching my eye Aria whispered. "My weapons are all calibrated to me and might be a little too big for you."

  Ah that makes sense.

  "John if you wouldn't mind signing this." Sapphire said.

  I slid out of Arias wing and came up beside Sapphire as the kitsune held out her tablet for me to sign. I couldn't read anything on it but I trusted Sapphire so I quickly scribbled my signature from Earth hoping it would be work.

  The kitsune smiled happily having taken the tablet back and accidentally brushing my hand in the process. "Okay you will have three basic pistols of each ammo type with four rounds per gun. All weapons and ammo clips are to be returned before you leave this room. If you have any questions feel free to ask cutie."

  "We won't." Sapphire said for me taking the weapons and ammo pced in front of us and leaving before she could comment again.

  "You don't need to be that hostile to everyone Sapphire." I voiced as we made our way over to the aisle of the shooting range that had one side against the wall.

  "No but it makes me feel better." My mia responded.

  I looked at Aria to try and get some help but she just shrugged herself. "I think she's just getting defensive now that you willingly fuck her."

  "Now John. I'll be teaching you how to shoot today if that's okay with you Aria" Sapphire asked ignoring Arias remake as she pced all the weapons on the bench besides where you stand in the range.

  "Go ahead. I've never been one for accuracy, much prefer to bnket the area in hellfire to make sure what I'm shooting at doesn't get back up." Aria responded turning around slightly so she could watch our backs.

  With a nod Sapphire patted her thigh to indicate I should join her. I listened and Sapphire pointed to the first of the pistols dispyed.

  "So first things first. Do not touch anything without my permission do not load a gun without my permission and never point a gun at anything you don't want to kill. Clear?"

  "Crystal."

  "Perfect." Taking the gun she was pointing to she made sure it wasn't loaded as well as checking the chamber just to be sure before handing it to me barrel down. "Now I don't know what you had on your pnet but out here we have three different types of ammo that are typically used. The first is a slug thrower. Simple in design it propels a projectile at high speeds in the direction your aiming. Good for short to medium ranges but due to gravity and air resistance drop off considerably at longer ranges."

  I gave a nod. "We have something simir that uses gunpowder to create a small controlled explosion to project the bullet."

  "Simir then. How proficient with them are you?" She asked picking up the next one.

  "I pyed a lot of video games with them but never held or shot one IRL." I replied quickly adding. "In real life."

  "Okay so no experience at all. We can work with that."

  I'd like to think video games gave me some experience at least.

  Taking the gun from my hand after I'd had a decent look at it Sapphire repced it with another that she checked to make sure it was empty. This one looked like it had been crossed with a bunch of wires that were poorly hidden but made it seem like a mad scientist had thrown it together in a b.

  "Second type of ammo is zer. Better than slugs in every way except for damage. They're not effected by gravity or air at all so they don't stop until they hit something. You can also shoot three times the amount per clip when compared to slugs but damage is a problem if something has a hard shell. It burns through hide and flesh like paper but usually takes a few shots to put something down unless you hit something vital. The main problem with zer weapons is there easily nullified with metal or gss. You'll still blind something on the other side but that's about it."

  I gave the gun a once over noticing it was slightly heavier than the slug thrower but nothing else stood out. Once I'd finished I handed it back to Sapphire who already had the st one ready.

  This one was a bulky thing and easily as heavy as the other two combined. It almost looked like someone had chucked a small sewage pipe and car moter on the side of it. Definitely my lease favorite.

  "Lastly is psma rounds. Big things and twice as loud but will punch a hole through almost anything. What it doesn't have in looks it makes up for in raw power if you can compensate for the kick. Like slugs its affected by gravity and air resistance but still goes the distance. The drawback is it's ammo is on the rger side and even with the bigger clips it doesn't mean more rounds. Ironically it's also the worst thing to use against a mage or Acolytes shield, for some reason psma just bounces off without draining you as much as the other rounds."

  Interesting. Still don't like it as much even though shooting psma seems cool as hell.

  Giving the gun back to Sapphire I tried to make a guess at what her sniper might have been but with it in her storage right now I could only guess.

  Sapphire took the pistol and pced it back on the table before her gaze flicked to Aria. My angel had created a wall with her wings to give us some privacy but I could hear voices on the other side, too quiet to make out what they were saying. Sapphire however seemed to be able to hear them perfectly.

  "Penatra is asking if she can use the aisle beside us." She almost hissed.

  "You don't like her?" I asked. Apart from her family drama I didn't think she was that bad.

  "I don't like anyone that thinks with their clit before their brains." She responded.

  "Fair point. But we can't really stop them right? Not like we're using it." I pointed out.

  "True." She hissed again.

  "Aria can you bring your wings back?" I shouted a bit louder than needed.

  My angel nodded without looking back revealing Penatra and three of her guards.

  "Acolyte John! It's good to see you again, even moreso as I see your training with firearms. Most Acolytes forget about physical weapons once they start throwing around spells."

  "Hey Acolyte Penatra. Yeah I can't take credit, my girls wanted to show me and I'm just absorbing every bit of knowledge I can at this point in time."

  The deer girl smiled in a very disarming way before indicating towards the aisle beside us. "Well don't let us distract you we just wanted to say hi and set up beside you. If you don't mind?"

  "Not at all go ahead." I said giving them a smile in return before turning back to my mia who was trying to drill a hole in the other Acolyte with her gaze.

  "Earth to Sapphire. Come in Sapphire." Probably should learn a new phrase.

  Sapphire blinked then looked at me then back at the other girls who were all sneaking gnces in our direction. A wicked smile creeping into her lips. "Shall we have a go at shooting now?"

  Why do I get the feeling this won't be a traditional lesson on gun control?
