Second Act [6]

While Maximus did his best to match up to Tilis, Ria was having the same problem against Raka.

Her body was covered in bright red aura, her fists flashing in a flurry of destruction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The water around her exploded with the pressure of her punches, littering the surroundings with imploding air bubbles. She threw hundreds of punches with every spark of time, her scaled fists enough to shatter the bones of any early 4th class that was struck by them.

To Raka, however, these punches were still child's play. His body moved without wasting the slightest bit of energy. Every minute change in his position led Ria's fists to miss by a large margin, leaving her body riddled with openings.

Raka didn't attack even though he bought himself plenty of opportunities. Rather than acting like an enemy on the battlefield, his demeanor was just that of Ria's former teacher.
