"...who the hell is this person!!!" Maria exclaimed to herself as she watched Vendrick in horror. "How can he get this strong so fast!? It doesn't make sense!"
It's been roughly three months since Maria became a prisoner. Despite being restricted in a small cage, it isn't so terrible really, just a little uncomfortable that's all. Since she's a spirit, she didn't require the basic needs of a mortal such as food, clothing, shelter and etc. This small cage is enough to sustain her and her state while in here isn't deteriorating despite her being away from her body, which is somewhat surprising to her.
Aside from their initial interaction, Vendrick never spoken a word to her again. He focused all his attention into his own training, keeping it balanced with enough rests in between. She would sometimes see Vendrick step out of the base, leaving her alone.
