500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"O'Lee... what are you doing to those girls?" I asked slowly, and O'Lee rolled her eyes as she looked up at me with a groan.

"They all make a big deal about it, but this is how Orc train. If they get hurt, I heal them. If they die, I bring them back. This is an honor for them. If this was a real monster, there is no coming back if I am not there," O'Lee said, crossing her arms, and I just stared at her.

Revival was a thing, but the window was only five minutes, but entirely possible. Still, this was beyond extreme, yet, she made a very valid point. I wasn't sure how I should deal with this, and I turned to Kalli.

​ "At ease, Kalli. I want you to tell me what you honestly think of O'Lee's training?" I said and then looked at O'Lee. "Whatever you say will not be held against you, or I will send O'Lee to go work in Tallia flower bed, picking weeds, got it?"

O'Lee grinned and shrugged. "Dirt is good for the skin, and your goddess is quiet. More than I can say for these cry babies!" O'Lee laughed, and I narrowed my eyes.

"Oh? Well then, I will just go talk to Orchalla and find out what you don't like, and that will be your task. While I understand what you are trying to do, this is more than likely going to end up psychologically damaging them. I need to know if you are doing more harm than good," I said, and O'Lee groaned, looking down, but I walked over and took her chin in my hand, bringing her face up to mine. "These are not Orcs, and that means that the same training might not work for them. Each of your races is different, and you have to keep that in mind."

"Yes, I understand, but I do not think that they will complain. I will not punish them if they do, even though that is the Orc way," O'Lee said, and It turned back to Kalli, who let out a sign.

"There have only been a few deaths, but O'Lee has pulled each of them aside after she brings them back to life. I think their training is hard and dangerous, but I have fought some of the undead that broke through before, and I know how dangerous they are. I am not sure if it is the best way, but I can tell you that the few that did die are a lot more thoughtful now. I was there the first time when Gaara died; a swinging blade took her head off her shoulders. O'Lee screamed out in a deathly voice, and Gaara's head reattached itself. That was the last time anyone had died in our group, and I heard that it was the same for the other three groups," Kalli explained, and I nodded and then walked over to where the three Amazon sisters were standing and increased my size to be just taller than Gaara.

"So, how was this experience for you?" I asked, and Gaara smiled.

"Shocking, to say the least. Nothing like watching blood spray from where your head once was. Then everything went dark, and my head was reattached when I opened my eyes. I can say that I was in pretty rough shape for an hour, but I couldn't stay down, or the other would have been too scared to go on," she explained, and I put my hand on the top of her head and then kissed her forehead.

"As long as you are okay. I like this pretty head of yours on your shoulders, and you are alive," I said, and Gaara nodded with closed eyes and a smile.

"If I get this treatment, I might have to try that again," Gaara said, but I slid my hand down to her cheek, and she looked up at me.

I gave her a long soft kiss and then pulled back with a smile. "If you keep doing well, without any accidents, I will give you more of that, and maybe more. That will only happen if you keep yourself safe, right?"

Gaara nodded, and I walked over to the other two, that had their heads down. "I will assume that you both got the same treatment?" I asked, and they nodded. "Are you both okay?"

"Yes, just disappointed in how it happened. Looking back, I can see how stupid it was to try and stop the metal blade with my hand, and I still lost my head. The way that it cut through me like I was made of gelatin made me clearly realize that I was going to have to change my way of thinking," Gilesh said, and I pulled her into a hug with Bobby Sue, and both women hugged me back. They were just ordinary women when I was like this, and it felt nice to be able to show them comfort in a time like this.

"That is why O'Lee is here, to teach you and the others how to be smarter in battle. If you have any questions, just ask her, and she will give you an honest answer. She may be tough, but she has an excellent heart," I said, and then pulled away, and they both nodded with smiles.

"Yes, Galio! We will do our best, and I think we are starting to understand," Gilesh said, and I nodded.

"Good, because I need you all to be able to protect each other and the others here. Magic can be great, but there is nothing like steel and willpower," I said and then looked over to Daphne and Velma.

"Are you two ready?" I asked, and Daphne nodded with a smirk.

"Ready as we shall ever be," Daphne said, and then she and Velma both walked over to the middle of the training area.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road!" I said and then jumped back inside my barrier with the girls.
