June flew by and July was nearing. Summer had already approached and the temperatures were starting to rise.
Inside of a training ground.
—Clank! —Clank!
The heavy sound of metal resounded across the room.
"Ren, cover me!"
Shouted Kevin as he quickly moved right of me. As his foot tapped on the ground, his body suddenly shot upwards.
"Huup—!"
—Swoosh!
Right as Kevin's foot touched the ground, I drew a circle in the air and pointed my finger towards a certain spot in the distance. In the same direction, Kevin was headed.
"Thanks!"
Twisted his body, Kevin quickly arrived before my ring. Putting his foot on the ring, he propelled his body towards the center of the room where a young girl leisurely stood.
"Haaa—!"
Arriving before Monica, Kevin let out a shout and slashed his sword down.
"Hmm, not bad..."
—Clank!
Lifting her sword with one hand, Monica easily blocked Kevin's attack.
"...but still not good enough"
BAAAM—!
"Guuuh—!"
"Khhuu!"
Casually swinging her sword and parrying Kevin's attack, Kevin was instantly pushed in my direction.
Because of how fast he was going, I wasn't able to stop him in time and we soon both crashed against a wall.
"Kuegh...this is so unfair"
I muttered as I laid down on the ground. My back hurt like hell.
"I agree..."
Supporting his body with one arm, Kevin weakly stood up. Raising his sword, he glared in Monica's direction.
"Oh, you're not done? I like your fighting spirit"
"Ren, stand up. It's not over yet"
"Ugh..."
Lifting my head, I let out a groan.
'Damn it, I just want to lay down on the ground for another minute. I'm the one who took the brunt of the attack, not you!'
Why couldn't he let me rest?
Putting my hand on my knee, I stood up and stretched my neck. My eyes soon interlocked with Kevin's.
"Seriously?"
Without him even telling me what he wanted to do, I understood what he meant.
"Alright..."
"Good"
Nodding my head, I placed my hand on the grip of my sword. Kevin on the other hand raised his sword with both hands.
"Huuu..."
Taking a deep breath, I channeled all the mana inside of my body. A white hue shrouded my body.
—Ava, it's me. Mind if we meet up?
Answering the call, a bright voice entered Ava's ears. She instantly recognized the owner of the voice.
"Ren?"
