Sparring with Friends (3)

"Mark, you can try that attack again when you recover enough," Klaus said. Mark nodded, breathing heavily. 

He hadn't been at his strongest before using that attack, so Klaus wanted him to try again once he was fully rested. Of course, the strong vibration from the clash told Klaus that Mark was no pushover.

Klaus knew that if Mark had been at full strength, he would have managed to push him back, just like Danny and Daniel had done. The duel wasn't for fun.

He wanted to see not only how strong they were but also if there was something unique about them that couldn't be shown on their status pages.

So far, he wasn't disappointed. Their progress was clear. He could tell they were training harder than most, driven by their friendship with him and the desire to match his strength.

"Who will go next?" Klaus asked, turning to the rest of his friends.
