“So this is the hot springs. It looks more welcoming than I thought.” Arghus Melodica muttered to himself as he jumped into the hot springs. The wave of mild warmth hit Arghus Melodica and he let out a comfortable exhale as he dipped his entire body in the hot springs.

Gran, Hansel, and Himuro followed suit and were the last ones to  dip into the hot springs. All of them let out an exhale just like what Arghus did, relaxing in the hot springs.

While they were spending their sweet time in the hot springs, the girls were also rejuvenated in their own hot springs. They were a bit curious as to what the boys were talking about, but none of them were curious enough to peek.

Though, they were a bit tempted since they knew just how well-chiseled Satoshi’s body was. They did see a portion of his upper body during the survival test, after all, and it was by far one of the best physiques they’ve seen and it should be mentioned that Disciples have some of the best physiques in the dimensions.

While the girls were trying to figure out how they’d get to take a peek at Satoshi’s upper body, the boys were up to something much better. Surprisingly, it was Bruce who brought up the topic, and everyone was genuinely shocked that Bruce had that side of him.

There was a glint in his eyes when he brought it up, and he seriously looked at Himuro and the others as if trying to convince them that they won’t regret this. “This morning, while I was taking a dip here… I did something. You might not see it but it’s there.” He began, pointing at the bamboo fence that separated the boys’ and girls’ baths.

A smile appeared on Bruce’s face. “Who’s with me!”

Himuro and Gran screamed their lungs out, while Arghus simply stood up and scooted to the edge of the hot springs. He wasn’t going to partake in such childish pranks. Satoshi went with his sentiment, and he too scooted out of the way.

However, before the two of them could say anything, Himuro sneakily went towards them, putting both his arms on their shoulders while wearing a sinister smile on his face. It was at this moment, that Arghus and Satoshi realized that they were already part of the plan.

Quite frankly, they were both too tired to retaliate so they just let Himuro drag them to the group so they could see what they were about to do. Furthermore, Arghus and Satoshi were a little bit curious as to what they were about to do.

After all, Bruce vaguely mentioned peeking,  but he never disclosed the entire process. Hence, Arghus and Satoshi’s curiosity was piqued, and they wanted to see how  he’d go about it— not that they weren’t the least bit curious about peeking as well.

“All right then, now that the power rangers have gathered. We’re going to go all in on this one. Trust me, you won’t regret this.” Bruce smiled as he slowly waved his hand on the bamboo fence.

Then the craziest thing happened, and it made Himuro and Gran scream at the top of their lungs once again. But this time, it was for an entirely different reason.

BAM!

…

A couple of hours ago, earlier that morning,

Bruce woke up earlier than the rest of them so he could set his plan in motion. He knew that there were a couple of barriers in place where the hot springs were located, and he had to painstakingly remove and replace them with his own barriers.

Moreover, the composition of the barriers should look the same as the previous ones so no one would see anything wrong with it. With this, Bruce would be able to completely replace the barrier and then reveal it at the right moment for the greatest effect.

In total, there were three barriers and Bruce immediately set to work bringing down the first one before the first girl takes a bath on the other side of the hot springs. He had to be fast, otherwise someone might catch him and it won’t end well for him.

Thanks to his vast knowledge of magic, though, he was able to bring down the barrier fairly quick, moving to the second and the third barrier in no time.

He was Dumble Dore’s Disciple, so this intricate magic barrier is nothing for him. He could take it down and copy it as if he was breathing, that’s how easy it was to someone who was proficient in magic like him.

Third one!

After bringing down the third barrier, what was left was the bamboo fence that separated the group. Even this one was taken down by Bruce, and he  propped an illusionary bamboo fence that resembled the bamboo fence itself, down to the minute details. Upon doing that, he created the three barriers he brought down.

In less than an hour,  Bruce’s preparations were complete, and now it was time for him to make his leave and join everyone for breakfast… well, not really. He decided to take a dip in the hot springs first before doing anything else.

…

Back to the present,

Bruce’s lips curved upward as he brought up his hand and snapped his finger. In one snap, the three barriers disappeared, and so did the illusionary bamboo fence that was just there a split second ago.

Initially, Satoshi and the others thought that Bruce would just pop a hole in the bamboo fence so they could take a peek into the girls’ bath. But no, he took it up a notch by removing the separator  altogether.

One moment, the bamboo fence and the three barriers in place were there, the next moment, it was just gone. Disappeared in an instant. All of them were expecting an infinitesimal hole on the bamboo fence and what they got what a complete removal of it.

“Behold!” Bruce raised his hands in the air, laughing like a maniac. He then crouched low before he rubbed his chin. “It ain’t much, but its honest work.”

“Wha— ?!” Himuro exclaimed while Gran and Arghus impulsively turned away from the open wide bath. In that second, their lives flashed before their eyes as the girls appeared in front of them, naked.

Fortunately, Gretel was quick enough to envelop everyone in healing magic, covering their bodies with white light. She immediately did it as soon as she heard cheers coming from the other side. It was a good call, and the boys didn’t see anything.

Everyone paused for a second, and then Bruce slowly walked away, shaking his head. “Looks like, my work here is done.” He muttered to himself.

Satoshi and the others looked at him as if he was the craziest man alive. And in that instant, the girls realized that Bruce was behind the removal of the barrier as well as convincing everyone to join him in his crusade.

Before anyone could react, Bruce gunned it out of there, stark naked. He didn’t even bother putting a towel around his waist, he just ran as if his life depended on it.

And yes, his life indeed depended on it since the girls started giving chase.

“Come back here, you!” The girls screamed, running their hearts out as they chased Bruce. The other men also started running, thinking that the girls would eliminate them from this life if they were caught.

“Wait up, you guys! I can’t envelop you in white light if you keep on moving around!” Gretel screamed, but she was doing a good job keeping their bodies covered.

Satoshi froze in place not knowing what to do. The chaos flashed by in a second, and the moment he realized what just happened, he was the only one left in the hot springs which turned into a mixed bath.

Well, he wasn’t alone, the third support unit in their team was left behind as well, she had a somewhat red violet hair and she bashfully turned away as the white light that covered her disappeared.

An ‘eek’ left her mouth when she charged at Satoshi. Just to make sure that he wouldn’t see, she hugged him from behind, and for a couple of seconds, the two of them remained in that position while Satoshi covered his Statue of Captivity.

Since the two of them felt awkward regarding the situation, they didn’t move at all, completely missing their chance to excuse themselves. Satoshi should’ve summoned Ghast and teleported their clothes to them, but he was in too much of a shock that it didn’t even occur in his mind.

Meanwhile, Jonathan and Yun Zhe just finished the last Disciple test for the day, and they were exhausted. Then again, they had two days of rest since they actually failed the first day of the survival test.

“Wait, isn’t that Satoshi?” Jonathan pointed towards the hot springs before running towards Satoshi. “Oi, Satoshi! You should’ve helped us during the sur-vi-val—” Jonathan trailed off when he saw what was happening.

Before he could ask Satoshi what was going on, Yun Zhe grabbed Jonathan and bowed towards Satoshi. “We’ll see ourselves out.” He said. “Please, take your time.”

“W-wait!!!” Satoshi exclaimed as he was finally brought back to reality.
