Aquarina had been helping me practice endurance, just as we got out of the bathtub, I really wanted to gain a few extra points of proficiency before going to eat, and she nodded because she's just way too lovely to say "no".

"Okay but only a few minutes… I don't know why you want so much for me to hit you…" She sighed. "But I've gotten slightly used to it!" Aquarina rushed towards me, raising her leg into the air, her speed was almost akin to her father sometimes, the harsh training that Shade put to her was incredible, ripples in the wind emerged by the movement of her body so fast that it felt as if shockwaves of invisible energy flew everywhere, her foot quickly falling strongly over my crossed arms.

CLAASH!

Ding!

A single kick gave me a whopping five skill proficiency! She's really strong! And ouch, it hurt me a bit! She's going hard on me today… I don't know if its healthy to ask your friend to hit you as hard as she can, but Aquarina also gets to practice her hand-to-hand combat and her kicking techniques, which she had been learning from her mother recently.

"HIIYA!"

Aquarina roared, giving a flip upwards and falling into the ground by supporting her own body with her hands, then, her hips began to move around through a special technique that amazon women knew by using their more flexible bodies than males, her entire body suddenly gained momentum as it started to spin around, her legs began deadly once more, spinning rapidly and attacking me with constant kicks!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

I resisted them all as I kept trying to keep my ground and not be thrown away by her strength, I put into my own strength as well and pushed forward, as Aquarina was quickly thrown off her momentum and had to forcefully stand up with her feet by jumping once more and giving a majestic flip in the middle of the air.

"YAAAAH!" Aquarina roared, pointing the palm of her hand towards me as she had infused a large quantity of Mana into it, a powerful palm strike hit my chest directly, making my entire body feel as if it was hit from the inside out, I felt a bit lethargic after that, and even my head was hit. That was a strong Palm Strike, as simple as that, it infuses mana inside a person forcefully, striking their insides.

"Ugh…! You're strong!" I said with a smile. "Aquarina, you really make me proud…!"

I quickly decided to fight back as well, as Aquarina wanted to test out her strength and she always liked to test it with me, if she did it with Zack, she always won and beat him into a pulp, he was the weakest of the three so she wanted me, someone stronger than her, to fight her, as she was able to see more clearly what she lacked.

I resisted the palm strike as I infused my hands with Mana and a fiery flame emerged from within them, they shaped as sharp fiery red spears, and then I unleashed a barrage of punches against her that moved rapidly, with the tip of them resembling spears made of flames.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! BOOOM!!!

A sudden explosion of blazing fire-attribute mana was unleashed with my last strike, as Aquarina was shielding herself using her bare arms crossed in front of her face, she was blown away a few meters, but she didn't fell this time, rolling around and then quickly jumping, kneeling, and standing up, her hands covered themselves in water, as two tridents appeared within them, she used the water to propel herself by pushing it away from her back, looking as if she were a majestic fish swimming across a river.

CLAAAAASH!

Her two hands which had water-attribute mana covering them in the shape of tridents cashed against my own resembling two spears made of flames, as she looked at me defiantly, her beautiful aquamarine eyes blazed with great strength and conviction, I felt inspired by her battle spirit as I welcomed her with various blows, our hands constantly intercepted one another, as kicks were not spared either, even headbutts, for a bit, until we finally finished our spar, exhausted, the two of us fell into the grasslands while gasping for air… That was intense.

"Hahh… Hahh… Ugh… That was… harsh!" Said Aquarina.

"You were very strong there, Aquarina, I am proud of you!" I said.

"Hehehe, is that so…?" Giggled Aquarina embarrassedly, she liked being praised by her strength. "But… I-I don't want to fight you anymore like this though!"

"Eh?!" I asked in surprise.

"I-It feels a bit weird to hit you, Sylphy… I-I am still trying to get over it but I don't wanna…" She said out of nowhere.

"Why so suddenly?" I asked.

"Ahh… I've been doing it for you but it feels kind of wrong…" She sighed. "I want to protect you, not to hurt you… I… Y-You're very precious to me…"

"Huh? O-Okay…" I sighed. I didn't knew why she got so emotional, perhaps the adrenaline of the fight put her like this?

"Sure… alright, we don't have to spar all the time, sorry for… asking you this so much, and thank you for doing it for me." I said, as I held her little hand. Aquarina cuddled with me while we were over the grass, as I suddenly heard the voice of my mother.

"SYLPHYYYYY! Stop lazing around!"
