My consciousness soon slipped out of my hands again, and I awoke back in the infirmary.

It was cold like the air conditioning had been cranked up to the max, or I was sleeping on a literal bed of ice.

"Did you know, to fall asleep faster, you just have to drop your body temperature by a few degrees?" A silvery voice came from beside me, and when I turned my head, I saw Luna slowly waking up.

It seems she slept on the chair right beside me because she was worried… I guess… Sometimes even I can't tell what she is thinking.

"That's an interesting fact," I muttered before moving my body around and seeing how nothing was sore, hurt, or even tight, I slowly shifted out of bed.

"You were only asleep for a few hours, and it's still the dead of night. You can sleep more if you want," Luna suggested as she followed me out of the infirmary.

I quickly made my way to the lowest level of the mansion and walked out the back door to the expansive backyard with a neat garden not too far off the stone path.

"Did you want some fresh air?" Luna asked, but already knew what I wanted as she shed her robe and cracked her fingers.

"How long do you wanna go for?" I asked while doing the exact same thing.

"Ten minutes should be enough. Don't wanna wake up everybody else in the house," Luna replied before jumping up and down to warm herself up.

And, of course, I copied her, warming myself up with a few jumps and stretching very lightly.

My flexibility was very good and to the point that I could easily perform the splits, but anything past that was impossible.

On the other hand, Luna had incredible flexibility, way past me in terms of mine.

"You ready?" I asked as my fists raised to my chin, and Luna took a more relaxed stance only a few meters away from me.

"I'm ready whenever you are,"

FWOOSH

And so, that was the beginning of the match. Her confirmation was everything I needed to know before dashing toward her.

My fist was coated in [Tangible Bloodlust], reinforcing each and every single one of my hits, but Luna was too used to my attacks.

Instead of trying to hopelessly block them, she parried each and every single one of them before going for a push kick straight to my gut.

Seeing how her foot was already grazing my shirt, I had no choice but to take it… and to my surprise, her foot almost squashed my organs.

"*gasp*... *cough* *cough* *cough*... Fuck… When did you get so strong?" I muttered as I didn't remember Luna following the exact same training regime.

On top of that, her strength within the status was nowhere near my defense… hers was probably around the fifteen to twenty range, if I had to guess.

"How long has it been since we last sparred?" Luna smirked before this time making the first move.

FWOOSH

Her punches tore through the air, and her trained knuckles shone clearly in the bright moonlight up above.

Quickly, I parried them and then went in for a crescent kick to her temple, but she ducked down and gave me an uppercut… or so she thought.

The crescent kick was bait so she could duck down, and upon seeing that, I placed both of my hands on the prickly cold grass before front kicking her with my other leg.

She uppercut my thigh by accident, but that probably did more damage to her wrist than me.

"Tch… asshole," She muttered once again before her eyes shone with a glimmer of moonlight, sparkling like a distant star in a distant nebula.

This time, each of her arms were like snakes, as with each punch, they would wrap around and go for a ridge hand or possibly a regular hook.

This sapped away most of my concentration, causing me to trip up on my feet tons of times, but Luna was still unable to finish me off.

She caught me off guard in the beginning but now, it was completely different.

As my feet shuffled through the stiff foliage below, I jumped up slightly and went for a knee to her forehead to start off a new clash.

She immediately blocked it with both hands and pushed down, but this just served as momentum for me to flip in the air and ax kick the back of her head… or so I thought.

"Mother fucker," I smirked as Luna shifted to the side and used the gravity of me falling to uppercut me in the chin even harder.

I felt my brain practically bounce around in my skull as soon as she hit me, and landing made my knees feel like jelly.

"When the fuck did you start hitting so god damn hard?" I muttered before activating [Empower].

My muscles filled with power like a balloon being filled with cement, and this allowed me to tank another one of Luna's kicks to the liver.

Her toes snaked up through the bottom of my ribcage but were stopped by my flexed muscles, only just grazing one of my most sensitive organs.

We exchanged a few more blows, with damage slowly building up on Luna's body as not was her strength low, but her defense.

I had no clue what skill she was using to help make up for the difference in strength, but clearly, it wasn't doing the same for other stats… meaning this was my chance to end it.

I dashed in and went for an extremely strong wound-up punch just outside of Luna's kicking range, allowing me to actually get the hit in.

Let's end this.
