303 The broken and the damned

On the blue mats of Barbosa's MMA gym, Ben was in the middle of an intense grappling session with his beautiful trainer Valentina. The last time they fought, she wasn't able to get the best of him due to his physical strength, a disadvantage she prepared to overcome today using her experience and wit. However, things didn't always go as planned.

The fact was, when they grappled the day before, Ben's personal talent multiplier had still been active, which meant over that remaining half-day, he was able to experience the equivalent of several months of training. So despite Valentina taking the night to come up with various tactics, it was in no way equal to the growth Ben accumulated!
