Author's Note

Hey guys! I'm here to bring you all a training chapter where both Spike and Sunset are training for their upcoming duel. I hope you enjoy. Place your bets on who do you think's going to win: Spike or Sunset.

Chapter 7

The day after Sunset issued her challenge, Spike and his new friends went to the school's gym building to help train Spike for his upcoming duel with Sunset Shimmer, the school's alpha female. Spike, Rumble, and most of the girls from his class were there to help train him and to cheer him on.

Awaiting them in the gym was the school's gym teachers, Spitfire and Fleetfoot. Spike could see that most of the male students would drool over them.

Spitfire was a tall woman, even taller than Spike. She had flame-colored hair similar to Sunset's, only with orange and yellow instead of Sunset's red and yellow. Her eyes were a sharp shade of amber. She was wearing a gym uniform with the top exposing her slim, yet toned and muscled stomach. Her sweatpants complimented her figure nicely, hugging her hips and butt in such a way that they'd draw the eyes of even the celibate males. Her top hugged her ample D-cup chest tightly. She held a whistle in one hand and a small towel in the other one.

Fleetfoot was noticeably shorter than Spitfire, only coming up to the woman's shoulders. She had pale skin and discerning green eyes. She was quite the looker herself. Her uniform was the same as Spitfire's, even hugging her curves in just the right way. Spike could tell that she was a C-cup like Twilight. Her exposed stomach wasn't as muscled as Spitfire's, but it was definitely slim.

Both gym teachers stood before the gathered students and found their gazes drawn to Spike. Spitfire sniffed the air.

"Well, well, well.", Spitfire said. "Looks like you've got quite a bit of power under those good looks of yours.".

Spike blushed like a tomato. "Do you really think so?".

"I know so. You should be able to beat your opponent in short order, but it's always beneficial to train.", Spitfire said.

"Alright, where do I start?", Spike asked, eager to get started.

Meanwhile with Sunset

Sunset Shimmer was training near a rocky area of the forest that surrounded the school. She always came to this spot to either train or clear her head. After that phone call from her father, she came out here to do both.

"If I lose to Spike, it's all over for me. I'll be kicked out of the family. Hell, I won't even be considered family if I lose!", Sunset said while unleashing a volley of fire-balls at a lone rock.

She then used her fire powers to fly into the air and rain a barrage of blast on purposefully placed rocks. The rocks all shattered from the impact.

"If Spike's arc level is as high as they say it is, I'd better not become reckless. Still, it's really interesting that his arc level is so high. Has he done some kind of childhood training? Is he some kind of genetic anomaly?", she asked herself.

"What was Spike's species again? A Ghoul? I've dueled Ghouls before and I got the impression that they weren't that strong of monsters."

Sunset's training was interrupted by some rustling in the bushes. Sunset turned towards the source of the noise and prepped herself to attack.

"Who goes there?", she called out to the bushes.

The bushes parted to reveal a female student wearing a stylized hyena mask. Sunset's eyes widened in recognition.

"Tammy? What are you doing out here?", Sunset asked the masked girl.

(Tammy Shiner- sophomore. Species: Aswang, a vampiric monster native to the Philippines)

"I've been sent here to tell you something important.", Tammy replied behind the mask.

"What?", Sunset asked.

"I'm here to inform you that he'll be watching the duel as well as your father.", Tammy informed here.

That statement sent shivers down Sunset's back. He's going to be at the duel watching her. As if her father watching wasn't bad enough, but that guy of all people is going to watch.

"Why's he going to watch the duel? He's never watched any duels before.", Sunset asked.

"I don't really know, myself. All I know is that he's taken a keen interest in Spike Roman. And how you'll fare against him.", Tammy replied.

If that lunatic was going to watch Spike, in particular, he must have something big planned. But then, who really knows what that psychopath is thinking?

"Well, if he's going to be there to watch, I'd better try to not disappoint him.", Sunset stated.

"I'll be sure to let him know that.", Tammy said before disappearing into the tree line.

Once Tammy was gone, Sunset continued training.

"I don't understand. What does Jack Volgaroth want with Spike?", Sunset asked herself.

Back with Spike

Spitfire walked up to Spike and pointed towards the floor. "First, I'll need to test your natural strength. Please get down on your hands and knees.", she ordered.

Spike wasn't really sure why she wanted him on his hands and knees, but he did as he was told.

"So how does this work? Are you going to put something on my back?", Spike asked.

"Something like that.", Spitfire replied to him.

"What do you mean 'somethi-", Spike asked before he looked over his shoulder.

He looked over his shoulder to see Spitfire turn her back to him and bend forward, showing her butt to Spike. To Spike's shock, the gym teacher sat right on his back! The sudden application of the new weight nearly made Spike's limbs give out. But, he held strong and didn't collapse.

Spike was having the time of his life in his mind. A beautiful teacher was sitting on his back. Not just any teacher, but a teacher with an amazing ass. Spitfire's butt pressed into his back in a way that was almost soothing. He could feel parts of his spine pop as she adjusted herself, rubbing her cheeks on Spike's back. Her butt was firm, yet had just the right amount of soft squish that he wasn't thrown off.

"If this was any other time or any other place, this would be so fucking hot!", Spike thought.

He looked up to see his female classmates glaring at the scene before them in jealousy. They looked like they wanted to take Spitfire's place in Spike's back.

After ten minutes of butt-to-back massaging, Spitfire got off. "Alright, looks like you've got plenty of strength and stamina even without magic.".

"Ms. Spitfire, that wasn't a necessary method to test my strength, was it?", Spike asked the older woman. Spitfire giggled.

"No, it wasn't.", she replied before moving to Spike and placing a hand on his cheek. "But don't tell me it wasn't enjoyable.".

Spike could only give a meek response. "N-n-no.", Spike replied.

Monster Guide

Nachzehrer

Nachzehrers are ghoul-like monsters from Eastern Europe. Unlike vampires or ghouls, they can't turn humans into others of their kind. They must breed amongst themselves or breed with a human. Their teeth may look similar to human teeth, except that they're stronger and have a sharper edge to them than human teeth. This makes Nachzehrer bites sharper and more painful. They normally live in mated pairs but small packs are also common. They only way to kill a Nachzehrer is to chop off its head and put a copper coin in its mouth. Nachzehrers eat humans and animals. Those that eat humans will eat the organs only.

Aswang

Aswangs are vampiric monsters from the Philippines. There are two notable subspecies of Aswangs: the common aswang and the Manananggal. The Common Aswang looks like a bat-like humanoid with the ability of wingless flight. They have long ears, fangs, and claws. As their name implies, they are the most common subspecies. Manananggals look like women without their lower halves. Instead, they have tendrils that look like intestines. They have large bat wings, fangs, and claws. The one thing they both have in common is their proboscis. They have a long tongue-like proboscis they use to pierce the skin to feed on blood. These two subspecies are famous for feeding on children. Animal blood is just as sought, but it's human blood they both crave the most. The only way to kill these two subspecies is to stab them in the heart with silver daggers and coat the bodies in salt or garlic juice. Both of these subspecies are solitary. They are both mono-gendered, so they need human men and monster men to reproduce.
