As Kazuma was walking out of the forest by himself, jumping from tree to ground at the same time, he couldn't help but to think to himself "Wow, my body suddenly feels lighter. Usually after training, it's supposed to feel tired or strained as a sign of showing that im getting stronger. But this time, it feels lighter, it's almost like as if the air is carrying me or something.", the boy took a sigh as he jumped from tree to ground "Whatever. Right now, I'm just glad I got to get some of my edge back. If you don't train your body or your abilities, you could easily get soft, but it won't be enough to take away your combat skills and strength. It's only a naive person that would just drop all he has learned from life or death situations just because he's in a situation where he doesn't need to risk his life.". As Kazuma jumped back to ground, an idea sparked in his head "Oh, that's right.", he used his energy manipulation to create an eye ball of his purple energy. The eye ball flew up into the air "Speaking of keeping your guard up, it would be better to have a few extra eye around you. I don't like the idea of being sneaked and not being able to do anything about it.". Kazuma walked out of the forest while looking more optimistic "Whatever, I'll just take a walk around to keep me on edge.", elsewhere, Gwen was having a sparring session with a couple of drones flying after her while shooting lasers at her. She was running and dodging beams that fell after her in a ruined section of the city, the road around her was being destroyed, rubble flew all over the place, and Marallda watched her friend skillfully move around like a jet with a mind of its own. As Gwen continued to dodge and move around, she assessed the situation around her "Okay, the goal is simple. I'm to make it to the other side of the district, but at the same time, I'm to make sure to get 4 of those spinning balls at the top of those drones. There were 5 drones, I've only taken down one, that means I need to take out the rest of the 4 and take the spinning balls above them and make it to the end.". Gwen clicked her tounge "What a pain.", the speed at which the drones were chasing and shooting at her had started to increase, a drone appeared directly above her and shot a beam down at her. Gwen immediately intercepted this, took a spin to the side and started making a run for it at top speed. The other drones chased after her at ground length, zooming from building to building along side her from both left and right. Suddenly, they started to shoot at her, the beams were more powerful than before, explosions tore through buildings and the road, they were spinning around Gwen and reaking havoc all over the place. Gwen moved as fast as she could, she dodged and swerved "Dodging around isn't going to do me good.", she thought to herself before she brought out a gun from the pouch tied to her leg and started parrying the lasers shot at her. Gwen was spinning around while shooting bullets that countered the beams being shot at her, she was also performing trick shots as well. As this went on, Gwen stomped her feet on the ground to allow debries fly all over the place. After that, she suddenly dissappeared in the eyes of the drones. All four drones were confused, they scanned and searched for her, but then, Gwen had stabbed through one of the drones in the confusion and then took the spinning ball on its head. After that, she threw the destroyed drone to the drone a few feet away, this caused the drone to scatter apart. Gwen flew in and grabbed the spinning ball from its head "Got it! And now....", to her surprise, the last two one's had surrounded her from both front and back. Gwen was stunned "SHIIIIT!", she exclaimed in her head as she got blasted straight down to the road with one laser beam. Her hands had been injured with minor burns "Dammit!", she cursed. Marallda watching thought to herself "She's in trouble now. If she doesn't get up, she's gonna lose.", she looked at the timer "She only has 40 seconds left.". As both drones were launching down towards her to end the entire spar, Gwen bursted out of a building from behind and shot down one of the drones from behind, the drone immediately scattered apart to the ground. The last drone turned around [ERROR DETECTED], it exclaimed, the Gwen that was on the floor raised her head up and shot the one last drone from behind. As soon as she did so, the drone fell down along with it's spinning ball, it turns out that the Gwen who flew out of the building was a clone, it instantly dissappeared once the drones had been defeated. Gwen(The real one) stood up properly and went after the last balls of the drones, picked them up and then rushed straight for the finishing line. As as she made it, Gwen just took a loud sigh of relief "AAAAHHH! That was close.", she said to herself. Marallda met her at the end "Tha-#t took lo-onger than expecteee#^d", Marallda's voice sounded like it was breaking apart like that of a computer. Gwen just smiled at her "Yeah, I know. I should have been faster than that. Looks like your speech could need some more work.". Marallda pouted and started dragging Gwen's cheeks "IM SORRY! IM SORRYYY!", Gwen cried jokingly. On the other hand, White, Lydia and Racheal had just finished a training session with Lerion. The young teens dropped on the floor out of exhaustion, except White who was just trying to catch his breath while barely standing. Sweat dripped down his face, Lerion grinned and said to his student "Wow, you all sure have gotten better, but you have to do something about your bodies slowly getting stiff". White looked at his teacher with frustration "TCH! Dont say that!", he clicked his tounge. Lerion smiled nervously "Now, now, relax. Okay?".
