96 A Little Spar

"Come on, now. Is that all you got?"

"Like hell it was!"

I dodge the incoming attack from Kara and grab her hand before throwing her to the ground. It has been a week since Kara has woken up from her slumber, and right now, both she and I are doing light sparring.

I still remember how she woke up after a dozen hours I bound her.

~Flashback~

"How is it, master?"

"The company gave a green light. They said that I could bind her after you finish removing all the tumors. When I ask them if they are sure about it, they are willing to give me a written contract that it will work."

"You take those contracts?"

"Nah. If they are willing to go that far, I trust them."

Not to mention that they want a point for that contract.

"Fair enough. Do you want to do it now?"

"Sure."

I walk toward Kara, who is sleeping on the bed, and order my shroud to bind her. After a few seconds, I can feel the connection between Kara and me.

After feeling the connection has been established, I walk away from Kara and let her sleep.

~Later that morning~

"Master, our guest is waking up."

"Oh?"

I look at Medea while flipping a pancake before saying.

"Then call her to the dining room. Can she eat something sweet?"

"I think so. I don't know if she has an allergy to sweets, but if my scan is correct, she should be okay."

"Very well. Call her here then."

"Understood."

After seeing Medea walk to the basement to call Kara to the dining room, I look at Shirou, who is helping me make breakfast and says,

"Shirou, we need to cook more food. Make it a feast."

"Understood."

It takes us another fifteen minutes to cook more food for Kara, and when we bring the food to the dining room, I can see a young blonde woman sitting on the chair listening to Hermione.

"Sorry, it takes a little bit longer. We need to make more pancake batter from scratch."

I wave my hand, and the floating item behind me begins to float above the table before gently getting on the table.

"Please eat as much as you want."

I look at Kara and smile at her.

"I will answer your question after breakfast."

I can see Kara wants to ask me about something but decides to obey my word and take the plate of pancakes before eating one of the pancakes without pouring some syrup. After eating the pancake, Kara's eyes widen up, and she begins to devour the pancakes.

However, before she could devour all of them, I said.

"You should pour some syrup on the pancakes. It will taste better, I can assure you. It was homemade syrup."

Kara looks at all of us and copies our example. She slowly poured the syrup on her pancakes before taking a bite of the newly syrup-covered pancakes. I smile a little when I hear a delighted moan coming from Kara, who quickly devours her pancakes.

It takes a few seconds for a stack of pancakes to disappear from Kara's plate. When I see the sad expression on Kara's face, I levitate another stack of pancakes and place it on her plate. She looked at me with a shocked expression, and I answered her shocked expression with a smile.

After fifteen minutes of eating, I look at Kara and say.

"So, is there anything you want to ask?"

However, instead of saying something, Kara got up from her seat and walked toward me. Before I ask her about it, she hugs me tightly for a few seconds before releasing me and says.

"Thank you. Thank you for rescuing me and saving my life. I don't know what would happen to me if you did not come to save me."

I look at her in shock for a second before smiling at her and saying.

"Think nothing of it."

~End Flashback~

After that, I began to explain to her that she became half-devil now because I reincarnated her using my evil piece. Surprisingly she accepted it rather quickly and accepted me having her as my Waifu as well.

She said something about having Pole Sister the right thing. She said something about not having a Pole Sister or Brother is not the right thing to do on her planet. Her planet is a practitioner of a polygamous society. Unless you are a religious figure and you need to have one wife.

"A chance!"

I snap from my thoughts and raise my hand to block an incoming punch.

*BOOM*

The impact creates a shockwave, and I can feel my bone is cracked from that single punch. Damn. That punch really hurt.

"You can't daydream in the middle of a fight, Riser, or you will get punched."

"My apologies. I will try not to do it again. Let me fix that."

Before Kara could react, I appeared in front of her and punched her pretty face. Her body falls to the ground and creates a crater from the impact. However, instead of getting down from the punch, Kara flies out from the dust and appears in front of me.

However, unlike before, I dodge all the incoming attacks. We continue our dance in the air for a minute before I decide to kick her away from me and fire a massive ball of fire toward her. However, before the fireball could hit her, it evaporated into nothing.

A second later, I can see Kara using her ice breath to evaporate my fireball. However, before she could do her own counterattack, I appeared in front of her before punching her once again. However, instead of just punching her, I pin her down when she hits the ground.

I'm underneath her with my hand and legs, locking all of her movement.

"Do you give up?"

"URGH!"

Instead of answering me, Kara tries her hardest to get out of my body lock, but after a minute of struggling, she releases a defeated sigh.

"Fine, you win."

After she said that, I released her and helped her get up.

"Don't make that sour look. There is no shame in defeat, and it is better to be defeated in spar than in a real fight. You don't know how many spars I went through that resulted in defeat."

I still remember it like yesterday.

"Hahahahaha! We are a phenex brother! Use your fire!"

I still remember how my pyromaniac first brother burned down the training area. The ground turned into lava, and because of his proficiency in Wind nature, there was an invisible bomb floating around the area.

"Fufufufu. What's up, Riser? Why are you running?"

I remember how my second brother summoned an untold number of horror shows using his physical illusion. I still remember how he is sending me those monsters with a sweet smile on his face.

"Come on, son! Let us continue to dance!"

I still remember how my father summoned a massive hurricane made of fire to attack me. What makes matters worse, the fire gets bigger and stronger when my father feeds them with oxygen using his control over the wind.

"Get up, son! You need to feel the burn!"

I remember how my mother charged at me with her fist raised. Each punch breaks my bones and turns them into dust. What makes matters worse is that she somehow knows which part she needs to punch to inflict max pain and minimum damage.

"Yes. Defeat in sparring is better than defeat in real fights."

I shake my head and snap from my nightmarish past before saying.

"Anyway, let's go back. I will cook something for us."

"Really?"

"Yup, come on."

Kara and I walk toward our base in the Antarctic and get down to the bunker where I see Rin still experimenting in the corner of the room, while Hermione and Medea have a potion experiment on the other corner.

In the past week, Kara has already healed up. Even if she has yet to reincarnate into a devil, she will be able to fly right now. Not only that, but she can also throw twenty tons of items with ease and can fly at high speed. She has yet to reach her maximum speed and strength, but she has time to grow.

Not only that, Kara's vulnerability to magic has been nullified when I change her to a devil. She still can get hurt by magic, but it was not as bad as before, just like a regular devil. If she continues to grow, a medium rank spell will not be able to hurt her.

I have yet to introduce her to my parents, but I will do that in a few more days. Sadly, Kara is really nervous. She has this mindset that when I introduce her to my parents, it means that we are officially married.

She said that it was a tradition in the planet Argo where she came from.

"So, what do you want to eat?"

I just hope that Kara did not cause something weird and embarrassing.
