Surprise in Different Houses
Meeting his wife in another room of their house, Lothur was already dressed in fighting clothes and with his ax in his hands.
He did not intend to fight with the Elemental Staff since, with this artifact, he could ignore the spiritual effects of his wife's techniques. But his purpose in training with her was not simply to win but to stimulate his physique.
Since it was much better to suffer when that was the goal, he would naturally face Viktoria at a disadvantage and be pushed by her. So he had his ax in hand, a different one than the one he had used when he was at the 1st stage.
[One-Headed Ax] [Rank: Bronze]
[Feature: increases the user's attack power by 18%.]
[Reminder: it weighs 3,000 Newtons.]
Lothur had earned this ax after defeating one of his many 2nd stage opponents and keeping this item instead of selling it at the academy.
