Stay in the capital.

You were truly happy. Your brother had been sent into the wasteland that was once your family domain but you would stay here in Kelredia and spend your apprenticeship in the comfort of the capital.

You picked a nice grey dress to introduce yourself to your new mistress , glad to be rid of those ridiculous robes the Academy had **** you to wear all these years.

"Ah the young Ashcroft, come in. Your mother and your teachers speak highly of you. I hope you will be able to keep with your reputation. I see at least that your beauty can" said a beautiful woman wearing a white dress. Her hair was of silver, not grey and she looked to be maybe 40 but you could trust your eyes on that matter, unless you noticed the pointed ears sticking out of her hair.

Your new Mistress was rumored to have had an affair with the current emperor's grand father. Lady Formosa was half elf and had been active in the court life for the last six centuries.

Her dress left both breasts free of obstruction to keep in tradition with her elven heritage, the elves though that hiding boobs was an affront to their fertility goddess.

"it is an honor to serve a mistress as wise and experienced as you are Lady Formosa. " you announced as you tried hopelessly to look at her in the eyes. You had been gifted by nature but to see those massive orbs of flesh swing freely was a sight to behold.

"You'll soon learn that not only men can make a family regain his rank, I will teach you all I know of men and politics to help you in this task. Follow me. " she announced. You were intrigued, no mage or noble family had helped yours since its downfall. A sponsor as old, powerful and well introduced as Lady Formosa would be the perfect ally to get the most of your limited resources and restore the name of Ashcroft.

You stood in the center of a room between eight large mirrors, one on each wall of the octagonal room.

"Let's see what we are working with. " she told you.

With a snap of her fingers all your clothes vanished into thin air, leaving your naked body reflect itself into infinity in the facing mirrors.

In an instant you conjured the image of a dress around yourself.

" Impressive! I see that this part of your reputation is well deserved, I rarely saw one so young master illusion so well, with no incantation no less." she said in admiration. To impress one as old and powerful as her was no small deed.

Another snap of her fingers and your spell shattered, leaving you naked once again.

"quickness is good but don't forget endurance and resilience. Starting today you will only wear what you can conjure in my tower and I will try to dispelled those at random times. You will have to resist the dispelled or cast clothes again before being noticed, it will be a good training for you. You will be allowed to wear real clothes outside but always stay alert as I might make them vanish with no warning. " she instructed.

" But why, Mistress? " you asked in shock.

"If you can feel safe and comfortable wearing nothing, if you can walk freely while at risk of being stripped, if you can pass those test without being caught then nothing will stop you in your life, you will be able to do anything your mind imagines. " she explained.

She got a small bell out of a pouch on her belt and rang it.

To your horror the door to the room opened.
