Whoosh!

A fist narrowly grazed past my face.

I shifted my gaze to observe my opponent’s movements more closely.

Despite the slightly fatigued expression on her face, her motions showed no signs of faltering.

Which could only mean—

"Aside from mental strain, her physical recovery is astonishingly fast."

I analyzed the spectacle unfolding before me with interest.

Even as I assessed her, her attacks didn’t relent.

A knee strike aimed for my abdomen, and when I twisted my body to evade it, spikes of ice emerged from the anticipated position.

Seeing this, I immediately conjured flames.

"Nine Flames Firewheel"

Whoosh!
