'I am so dead…' Michael cursed in his mind as he lay down on the ground.
More than ten minutes had passed since he won against Tiara and the EmeraldLeaf Adventurer team, but he had yet to stop sweating buckets. His head was still thumping wildly as well.
Michael was exhausted, but he was quite satisfied with the results of the spar. He felt a lot better. Meanwhile the spark in his heart developed into a small burning flame that flickered brightly, bringing light to the darkness inside his heart.
At one point Tiara appeared next to him. She stood there, biting her lower lip while waiting for him to get up and notice her.
Michael finally looked at her while slowly pushing his upper body from the ground.
"What are you thinking about, Tiara?" He asked when he noticed that Tiara hesitated a bit.
