Luis had come to do the fireball training to check if dodging the fireballs shot out from those cannons would add up to his fire ability points, but that wasn't the case because when he pulled out his sword and blocked one of the balls, nothing happened.
He put his sword back in its sheath and started to dodge the other balls coming towards him.
The balls were fast, but the speed was a little slower than what he expected. Maybe when he was just a level who had nothing, he would have been knocked out easily, but now that he had improved stats he was easily avoiding the balls.
'Is this meant to be the hardest level?'
'I think those weak demon's fireballs were faster.'
Luis was enjoying dodging the balls until he saw Tammy looking into the arena with her mouth wide open and that was when he realized that he may be overdoing things.
Luis decided to allow himself to get hit twice and was pretending to be struggling now, but immediately the first ball hit him reducing his hp by minus one, the training ended stating that he had completed the level.
Tammy didn't know if she was seeing things but Luis had just completed the intense level on his first-ever trial, something she was still aiming towards and hadn't been able to complete up till now.
"How did I do?" Luis asked nervously rubbing the back of his head.
"You did great," Greg said patting him on his back. "Now it's my turn."
Greg got teleported inside the arena and selected intense.
Luis was able to complete the level by just doing whatever he could do to dodge the balls but there was technique or style to it.
Greg was avoiding the balls with great precision, it was as if everything was in slow motion while watching him dodge, he was not using speed as an advantage as Luis did.
Greg completed the level without even losing a single hp.
"Wow!" Luis exclaimed immediately Greg appeared in front of him.
He had his eyes glued to Greg the whole time he was dodging the fireballs.
What he did was just dodge the balls casually but Greg had quality in his movements and everything.
"It's your turn, Tam…." Greg realized that the person he was trying to call was already gone.
"It's very unlike her to come here and just leave without training."
"Maybe she went to grab something," Luis said.
"She's not coming back," Greg said.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you only get access to this place once a day," Greg said walking to the rectangular outline on the floor.
Luis was confused by Tammy suddenly leaving without even having a go on the training.
'Was it because of me?' He wondered.
"Are you coming?" Greg said while tapping his foot on the floor.
Luis didn't say anything and walked to Greg, Greg activated the floor and it quickly pushed him upstairs, Luis waited for the floor to return and he also went upstairs.
Greg and Luis headed to the dining room together and discovered that Tammy had already eaten breakfast and was outside training with the doll that was hung on a tree.
But before they sat down Sarah whispered something to Greg.
"I don't know what's wrong with her, she barely touched her food." She said. " When I asked what the problem was, she said it was nothing."
"Don't worry I'll talk to her," Greg replied.
Luis quickly took down his whole food and was greeted by his usual after breakfast message.

[ 210/600 EXP ]
Luis quickly rushed outside to meet up with Tammy for his training.
"How did I fall behind?" Tammy muttered as she stabbed the doll, it was clear she was taking out her anger on the poor thing.
"Maybe the question should be, how did he improve so much in little time?" She said pulling out her dagger from the doll.
She tilted her head to see Luis who was heading towards her now, on seeing him a smirk suddenly appeared on her face.
Luis approached Tammy and was surprised for her to quickly take a fighting stance on seeing him. But he didn't need to ask any questions because she immediately stated what she wanted to do.
"How about a little spar, this time don't hold back anything, because I won't." She said positioning her daggers.
"Ok," Luis said pulling out his sword.
Of course, he wasn't going to use his full strength, if he does that he may end up giving her a heart attack because it wasn't possible for someone to just improve in a heartbeat.
Tammy had come up with a plan to take out some of her anger on Luis after seeing what he did today.
'He may be a little fast but that doesn't guarantee he can still fight properly.' She thought if only she knew this little spar wouldn't turn out the way she thought it.
Luis quickly took the role of the aggressor, rushing in with his sword, Tammy stood still and when the sword was about to make contact, she raised her two daggers blocking the attack.
This had worked a lot of times and she would end up pushing Luis off with her daggers, but today she found herself being subdued, she was clearly losing out in this battle of strength and had no choice but to pull her daggers back.
Luis charged in again striking his sword, but she was able to counter the attacks and kept changing the direction of the strike. freewebnovel.(c)om
Tammy was being on the defensive here and was waiting for Luis to tire out like he always did, but it didn't look like that was going to happen anytime soon.
'How come?' Tammy had confusion written all over her face.
It felt like the person she fought yesterday and the person she was fighting now were two different people.
Luis swung his blade towards her again and she was beginning to get impatient, she blocked the sword with one of her daggers and went in for the attack with the other one, but something unexpected happened as Luis stopped the dagger from reaching him with his bare hands and then sent his knee towards her stomach, this sent her staggering backward and eventually falling to her knees.
Luis quickly rushed in without giving her breathing space, Tammy seeing this tried to get up but had lost her balance in the process, Luis' sword was upon him but before it could even reach her it vanished turning into black smoke.
"What?"
Tammy used the opportunity to kick him down with her powerful legs and before Luis could get up he saw the tip of the same sword he had used a few minutes ago pointing at his neck.
"That's not fair," Luis complained.
Tammy didn't say anything as the sword vanished from her hand, then she began to walk back towards the house, but when she had gone a few feet away from Luis she spoke.
"In a life-determining fight, there's nothing like fairness." She said before walking off, leaving Luis on the floor.
Now he needed to see if he could get a soul weapon.

In a poorly lit room, a man in a black suit is sitting on an office seat which is void of anything except a telephone when he receives a call on the telephone.
"Very well then, inform everyone that they will be returning in two days." He said before dropping the phone.
