360 Chilly Night 3

<The night after Callius returned from his 'holiday.'>

"Lirienne, I have a task for you."

Inside the training grounds of the academy, I was talking with Lirienne.

While sparring with her, of course. Considering my new breakthrough and my new powers, I need something to adapt my strength.

And what could be better than sparring with a partner who wouldn't whine no matter how many times she was hit?

SWOOSH 

As her blade glazed through my face, I smoothly side-stepped her attack.

THUD 

And threw a fast kick to her abdomen.

"Huk!"

My kick was connected, making her squirm.

SWOOSH 

However, she smoothly widened her distance as her silver eyes looked into mine. There was something different about her tonight, a change in her demeanor that caught my attention.

'For some reason, I am getting a different vibe from her.'
