House of Ban...

Sophia was eating lunch alone in the dining table. Her injured ankle was already healed but she didn't remove the bandage. She was eating silently, but her face redden as time went by. She thought in her mind 'Take initiative? No! No! No! No! I-I can't do that!'

...

Earlier when Ban left the house, Sally came to talk with Sophia regarding her parents. Sally noticed her eyebags is getting worse every day.

Sally only have time to face Sophia since Ban always take Sophia to the hospital for a visit. She also went home late at night.

Sally said worriedly "Little Sister, you look sleepy everyday. Ban told me that your father was fine. You don't have to push yourself to think too much about his condition. You don't know but your cousin always concern about you even if he didn't show it outside." She approach Sophia while caressing her silky green hair like a big sister do.

Sophia was startled and felt guilty inside. She nodded and replied "Yes, Big Sis. I also know that cousin is like that, he is protecting me from behind since we were young." There was an adoring look in her eyes.

Sally raise her eyebrow and ask "I know right? If I have a cousin like him, I will fall in love with him." She look at Sophia with a smirk. She tease this innocent lass.

Sophia widened her eyes looking at Sally in disbelief and redden her cheeks. She wave her hand repeatedly "N-No, I-I. We are cousin. I can't fall in love with him." There is a little sadness in her eyes.

Sally notice her expression and innocently ask "Ban told me that you two were not really cousins. What are you denying on about? I also notice that there is more to your lack of sleep these days. Care to tell this Big Sis what it is?" She look intently at Sophia who was avoiding her gaze.

Sophia blush even more when Sally talk about her lack of sleep. She stammered while replying "N-No. I-It's really about my father and nothing else." She look down and did not even look at Sally.

Sally found her reply suspicious. She ask while formulating a scheme "Wait, did you perhaps..." She intentionally widened her eyes for Sophia to notice. She wants to know what was the other reason of her lack of sleep.

Sophia's heartbeat went still when she look at the expression of Sally making a suspicious face. Sophia was startled and blurted something that Sally herself didn't know what it is "H-How did you know?!" She wanted to stand up and find a hiding place from embarrassment. She was having an obvious guilt written on her face while blushing furiously.

Sally truly widened her eyes upon guessing her suspicion was correct. However, she didn't know what it was. Judging from the look of Sophia, she look guilty when she look at Sally.

Sally's curiosity peak while playing it safe to know the answer. She pulled Sophia down while consoled her "It's okay. I don't mind really. Come tell this Big Sis what's your comment about it." She hug Sophia's arm while smiling naturally.

Sophia widened her eyes intensely while she look at Sally weirdly. She thought to herself 'Is she the legendary exhibitionist my classmate told me?' She said while blushing admitting her wrongs "I'm sorry Big Sis. B-But your moans were so stimulating that I can't help but eavesdrop a bit more due to my curiosity."

Sally was confused at first but thinking what Sophia was talking about, she blush furiously from understanding. She felt like crying about what she told Sophia earlier. But more importantly, she now knew why Sophia was sleepy these past few days. It appears that everytime Ban and herself was doing naughty, Sophia was there eavesdropping from outside. Sally blush even more when recalling that last night, both of them did that in the kitchen.

Sally didn't want to lose the Big Sister figure in front of Sophia but the situation was really awkward for her that she wants to die from embarrassment.

Seeing Sally was blushing and silent, Sophia thought that she was enjoying her comment. She weirdly look at Sally while she continued "I-I can tell that Big Sis really enjoy that last night since your expression was in heavens-" Before she could finish her words, Sally covered her mouth. Sally can't take any more comments due to her embarrassment.

Sally cough and pretended to stay calm but her blushing face betrayed her "T-That's enough for now Little Sis. Wa-What about we talk about Ban? Do you like him right? I can tell that you like him from miles away." She immediately diverted Sophia's attention as she can't face anymore shameful comments from her. She thought in her mind 'Kyaaa! What have I done! Turned out that she was like that because of us doing indecent. This scoundrel Ban! I'm going to kill him when he arrive later! ' Ban didn't know that Sally already sentenced him to death by Sally tonight.

...

"Achooo!" Ban rub his nose while he sparred with George. He suddenly felt a chill from his lower region like someone was trying to squeeze him dry. He shrug his shoulder while continuing the practice sparring.

...

Sally's next words caught Sophia's attention fully and was startled "W-What are y-you talking about B-Big S-Sis. I-I am not." She cover her face while denying.

Sally look at the innocent Sophia. She lamented 'What a innocent lass, she was easy to read.' She ask but she was blushing "You said that you eavesdrop on us right? Y-You can tell that I-I can't handle him alone as he was so capable in that part. I-I keep begging him t-to stop b-but he- he- Y-You know what I'm talking about right? Anyways, I'll get straight to the point. I want you to be his girlfriend. We will handle him together. What do you say?" Sally can't continue saying such humiliating words so she directly propose to Sophia.

Sophia widened her innocent eyes. Her heart beat so fast that she look so adorable right now. If Ban was here, he might pinch her cheeks for being so cute.

Sophia stuttered "I-I didn't say I didn't like him. B-Big Sis-"

Sally interrupted her "So you're saying that it's fine if he have another woman right? Liking him will only be a matter of time. You can tell Big Sis your problems, I'll solve it for you." She didn't let Sophia to argue with her more.

Sophia was blushing but she can't refute Sally. She thought 'She's not listening.' Due to the words of Sally earlier, she felt a little hope budding in her heart. She said "I-I am-" She was shy to answer further.

Sally knew this lass really like Ban. But she could tell that Sophia was an introvert person. Sally wants to help Sophia achieve what was in her heart. She knew that Ban's achievement were unlimited and many women will flock onto him in the future so she want a sister that she knows and like Ban. Sophia was the perfect candidate for her. If Ban's other women bullied her, Sophia can help.

"It's final then. Now, we will talk about how you will conquer his heart. Big Sis will help you with that. To tell you a secret, a way to a man's heart is through his lust. I'll tell you a plan. Hehehe" Sally was smirking beckoning Sophia to lean closer.

Sophia was too shy to lean closer. So Sally hug her while whispering her plans.

It didn't even took 1 minute and Sophia's expression turned like a ripe tomato. Sally giggled from the side while continuing her chat.

...

Military Camp...

Ban was having an intense fight with George. He now mastered 19% of the Basic Fighthing Fundamentals. The progress is getting slower since George cannot keep up the pace so Ban intended to let George have a breakthrough to speed up his practice.

Eliza was on the side watching the duo's battle. But her eyes were looking at the naked Ban in daze. She felt like Ban doing a fight is an art. A splendid Art that melts her heart. He fought so elegantly with his moves.

Ban dash forward then he suddenly jump performing a 360 turn preparing his fist downward aiming at George. The latter widened his eyes as this was the first time he saw Ban using this move. Energy of various elements condense in his palm cannot be seen by people.

George went fully alert but Ban was so fast the he can't dodge on time. He sense a grave danger looking at the fist. A sudden broken sound came inside his body from the feeling of facing the death itself. He knew he broke through but he didnt think much as he cross his arms upwards from the incoming attack giving his all.

Ban used the same strength of George but thinking twice, he diverted the attack and slip downwards targeting the ground. He can't take any risk since he knew this skill is so powerful.

'Mirage Smash'

After executing the skill, Ban's body went downward smashing his fist in a flash like he was dashing from mid air.

*Boom!* *Crack!*

Cloud of dust covered the whole place with some cement debris blasted away from the impact.

"Kyaaa!!" Eliza screamed waking up in her daze hearing the booming sound coming from the field. "What happened?! Big Brother! Ban!" She hurriedly run towards the two.

She saw Ban kneeling in the middle of a small crater of 3 meters in diameter and 2 meters deep but there are no George in her view. She look around trying to find her brother.

Ban got up pulling his fist. He look at the middle that has formed a fist. He thought 'Broken skill. I can't believe I have a skill like this. It didn't even cost much of my energy and strength. I have improved this skill almost to a mastery doing the second try. What will it look if my go all out then?' He anticipated the thought.

*Cough!*

Few meters away laid George coughing from the dust. After he cleared his mind, he dash to the crater where he saw his sister looking for someone.

"Big Brother!" Eliza found her brother and was relieved. She look at Ban like he was a monster.

Ban jump upwards composing himself while looking at George calmly.

He utter a word that made George speechless.

"I missed"
