Origami pov
I and Max are entering home I see a girl with long silver hair waiting for to us siting with dinner for three.
"Ahh max you came back"
"And you may be Origami-san?"
"Yes, my name is Origami Tobiichi nice to meet you."
"Me too nice to meet you Origami-san my name is Maria Naruse."
She is a sure cheerful person.
"By the way, how do you know me, Maria?"
"Ahh, Max talked to me before he summoned you and told me a lot about you."
a lot? how much exactly he told her? I thought.
Really when I think about it what is Max's true identity? How does he know so much about me?
"Maria, what did you made for dinner?"
We enter the house going to the table
"I made pasta🍝 , Poultry Leg 🍗 ,
rice balls🍙."
We seat and start eating "delicious!" Max says
"Thanks, Max."
Why did he summon me? He must have proposed for doing this.
"Why did you summon me? " I ask him.
"Origami I want you to train me."
"What?"
"I need to train against a long-range enemy who I am at a disadvantage against so I would be thankful for that."
"But you are just normal human there is no way you can fight spirit without any assistance."
"Don't worry I am much stronger than I look."
His overflowing confidence fighting against spirit What A weird person.
"We will start tomorrow morning."
Next day
Today we start the training and went deep in the forest before we start Max says.
"We are in a barrier Maria created so we don't give to worry about people and fight seriously."
"Really you might die."
"Don't worry I am not this weak and this training is we aren't allowed to kill each other."
"Okay", I also wanted to see what I can do with this power.
Max pov
"Ready... go"! Maria gives a signal for the start of the fight.
I dash to her at high speed that makes shock waves I sending punch.
"Ffffhhhh kkk...raaa..kkk". Tree in the way of the punch felled because of the air pressure.
Where the hell did she disappear? I look around searching for her.
I didn't except you are so fast I let my guard down so my automatic ability activates teleports me a few meters away. she said with clam and almost complete emotionless face as she flies a few meters away.
"Metatron, Shemesh!"
The floating pillars spin around her, gathering light particles in which she can release as a rain of energy blasts.
"Ahhh!!!" I scream as the energy blasts piercing my body.
I instantly run to the forest because of the shock and because this attack is impossible for me to dodge.
"It hurts!!!! " I didn't think it would hurt so much I would have been pass out already if I didn't train with Maria.
Shit, I don't believe I forgot about this ability I need to find an opening in her.
Thankfully the automatically teleporting ability cooldown time
after teleporting herself, she cannot dodge an attack by teleporting again in quick succession.
First of all, I need to close the distance between us even if I get little damage.
As a Spirit, Origami's powers are of the long-range type, attacking her enemies from a distance with lasers of shining light and creating some distance between them when they get too close.
Her astral dress is strong protection even without her putting barrier on herself.
Also, she has the ability to fly which makes it easier for her to dodge my attacks and make a distance between us.
I doubt I can break all her defense even with all my power.
Her Lasers are strong enough to pierce me easily.
Her senses are enhanced after becoming spirit so I can't depend too much on my senses advantage.
In short, she is the most difficult opponent who can be fighting against me.
But I couldn't feel more exciting to face against an opponent which I have strong indications for defeat even with all my power.
I feel burning strong feelings in my chest I feel my body full of adrenaline.
I see origami searching for me in the Direction I went.
I start to move in the forest so she wouldn't notice me.
"Where are you?"
I take the nearest tree and throw it on her.
Ahh, she surprised but she still Intercepts and the tree is blown away.
As the tree distracts her attention I come closer to her fast picking near the tree I jump to reach her from the behind swinging the tree.
As she turns around I feel laser piercing in the middle of my stomach.
"Kahh" Vomiting blood from my mouth.
It seems she expected this and the pillars fired lasers on me.
"Ahhh " it hurt I feel my blood flowing out my body from the holes made by her attacks.
Damn it i.
She pointing the pillars on me.
Metatron!
Damn it I can't dodge in the air.
I try to defend myself from her attack I could feel my hand burned.
"Kahhhh!"
Boom!!
I lay on the ground hardly keeping myself conscious.
Ahhh, I can't do it I suffer from too many injuries to continue fighting.
my body full of small injures from her first attack and huge hole in my stomach and burning on both my hands.
My blood flowing outside though the injures I received making a pool of my blood around.
But My heart is pounding so fast I can't clam down.
"Max are you okay?" Maria runs toward me.
As she sees me she panicked
"Max hurry we need to heal your injures or else you would die from blood loss."
I start to stand up even though my injuries.
Origami landed next to us.
"Max doesn't move it is dangerous" she tries to stop me.
"No, Maria, I am not going to stop now."
"But why? You can train with Origami later after you heal If you continue you will die for sure!!" I see she almost started crying.
"Maria, I have to continue this if I don't struggle here and give my all here when I would do it I am not a half-assed guy who thinks he can go to the sea without the preparation for risking his life."
That is right in this world full of monster I have to pass my limits if I want to be someone who can see everyone from above and change things to be more interesting I need to be in the above of the food chain in this world.
Maria's tears start flowing on her cheeks.
"But--
"Don't worry Maria I am not going to die from this"
"No, it can't be you don't have an accelerated healing ability so these wounds will only open up and get worse if you continue."
"uso no uso, sore wa kururi to uragaeru" i say with a low voice no buddy notice.
"Are you sure you want to continue Max?" Origami ask me.
"Yeah, let's continue."
"Okay if this is what you."
The laser fired at me and I quickly dodge her attack and I run straight at her.
Suddenly I sense pillars surrender me firing laser constantly making them nearly impossible to dodge.
Laser touched the ground making an explosion that caused shock wave blowing me away.
"Phhh " I pushed on the tree.
My eyes are closed As I feel my conscious fading I also feel my sense open and tell me to attack from the right.
I jump to dodge it.
Next is left, right, front, back I dodge all these attacks as my eyes are closed.
Above I jump.
Maria and origami were dumbfounded what happening? How I dodge her attacks so quickly and effectively compared to before.
Ahhh what is this I feel my mind so clear even though all these injures I don't feel any pain only a clear image of the world in my mind?
I continue dodging but even if I don't feel any pain my body is still seriously injured so I can't continue this fight.
As I feel my body is reaching its limit my body also starts to show its true abilities Fanalis philology which was originally red lions.
My eyes Pupil changed to look like that of lion my teeth started to change into fangs.
Relaxing yet wild feelings spread thought all my body I know I wouldn't last long so I will try to make the last attack to damage her with my all.
She continues to fire at me I find an opening strongly dash at her direction with a speed that breaks sound barrier I throw a stone at her strongly to make her use her auto evasion so my attack could reach her.
As planned she used her auto evasion and teleported a few meters away I quickly leaped and strikes her with my full power.
Boom!! the sound of my movement and the crush between my fist to her barrier was finally noticed and heard because all of this took only a few seconds in the world and was unnoticeable for others.
My strike was made Origami fall from the sky right to the groundbreaking the ground and its ways.
Ahhh that is it I can't do it anymore my conscious blown away and I fall from the sky which would make my injuries probably worse.
Origami pov
Ahh, it hurts I touch my forehead I see blood.
Amazing he broke my barrier with a purely physical attack it normally impossible.
And his change at first he was strong but he couldn't reach me even with all his power but after he got injured seriously he stated to change he seems to dodge my attack like he knows my next move.
And lastly, his last attack was unbelievably strong I am curious how he did it?
"Max" maria flying to catch Max.
"Origami let go home quickly we need to heal Max."
"Yeah". i answer .
