Thomas stared at the massive hole in the wall for a few seconds and said "Now that they're gone I should probably fix this." Thomas stared at the wall for a little while longer and sighed as he said "I avoided one strike only for the next to be just as devastating." As Gwen entered the building she glanced at the giant hole in the wall and asked "Did Malice have another fight with someone?" Thomas glanced at her and said "Another friend of mine stopped by, they're... getting to know each other?"
Gwen stared at him and said "I'll contact someone who can have this fixed up in a few days." Thomas glanced at her and said "Thanks, for a moment I thought I was gonna have to fix this on my own." Gwen walked past him towards the dimensional door and said "A wall and a table are two different things, we don't expect you to be able to fix a wall." As she walked through the door Thomas walked towards the hole and said "I should at least block it off right?" As the dimensional door opened once more Gwen poked her head out and said "Before I forget, I found another magical book on the black market."
Gwen held the book and said "It was payment for a job I did recently, I was originally gonna sell it but you'll probably have a better use for it." Gwen tossed him the book with a smile and said "If you still can't find a use for it I don't mind taking it back." Thomas caught the book and said "I'll look through it when I get the chance." As the dimensional door closed Daisy came running in and shouting "What was that loud sound?" Thomas glanced at her without saying a word as she turned her attention to the wall and nervously asked "Did Malice do this?"
Thomas walked towards her and said "It's no biggie, her and Opal are just having a quick match, I told Poppy to tell me when they're done." Daisy stared at him and said "Seriously, instead of taking an opportunity to get better you passed it along and had Malice take your place." Thomas nodded and said "Pretty much." Daisy glared at him and said "Didn't you hear the news of the demon lords resurrection, it's gonna be happening soon." Thomas scratched his head and asked "Did Emera mess with everyone's memories again?"
Daisy stared at him and said "Don't play dumb and blame Emera, do you seriously know nothing about the demon lord?" Thomas glanced at Daisy and said "Oh right, Emera already explained she can't alter my memory, that's why I have no memory of this new demon lord." Daisy stared at him and asked "Did you lose you mind or something?" Thomas stared at her for a moment and said "No, I was just um, testing you?" Daisy sighed and asked "Do you have any idea how strong a demon lord is?" Thomas thought about Malice for a moment before saying "I think I have a pretty good guess."
Daisy began to drag him away as she said "Then if you already know you should get to training so we can help fight against it." As he was being drug away he said "I'm gonna be forced to do the one thing Emera warned me about?" Daisy glanced at him and said "Don't make excuses, come on and start training like the rest of us." Thomas glanced at Daisy and said "But she really did tell me not to interfere with the demon lord." As he said this Daisy glared at him and said "Fighting it or not, you should still train so when he is summoned your not killed by one of its lesser creatures."
Thomas sighed and asked "Then what do you wanna do?" Daisy glanced at him and said "Transport is your subconscious and have a match with me, if you win it'll prove that your not as rusty as I thought." Thomas glanced at her and said "So that's all I need to do?" As they both appeared in the subconscious Daisy took a few steps away from him and said, while you've been slacking I've been getting stronger." Thomas began to stretch as he said "Yeah your probably right." Thomas held the new book Gwen just gave him and said "As usual begin whenever you'd like."
Daisy drew a sword and shouted "Drop the arrogant attitude and fight me seriously." Thomas smiled and said "I am taking you seriously." As Thomas faded seemingly out of existence Daisy looked around in a panic and asked "What just happened?" As she asked this Thomas's voice was heard behind her as he said "The book had a level three concealment spell called sense destroyer, I'm actually behind you right now." Daisy swung her sword around and shouted "You shouldn't have revealed your location to me!"
Daisy glanced around and began to swing repeatedly as she shouted "I'm not gonna fall for your tricks, Daisy tossed the sword aside and pulled out her dual blades as she shouted "I'll just make sure you can't get near me." Daisy began to the blades around at an extremely fast pace making it nearly impossible for a normal person to get past. Daisy continued to swing around as she shouted "Come out and show yourself!" After a few moments Daisy took a punch to the back of the head and fell to the ground.
As Thomas appeared behind her he said "You know if you learned magic I bet beating me wouldn't be such an issue." Thomas held the book and said "Speaking of, all these spells are apparently used by assassins or crooks, they might work well with how you fight." Daisy glanced up at him while holding the back of her head and said "Learning magic sounds like it would be difficult, and did you just call me a crook?" Thomas set the book down beside her and said "No I didn't call you a crook, well besides the point, look I'll just leave this here incase you change your mind."
As Thomas glanced up into the sky at the new plant Poppy had created he watched as it blew up right before his eyes. Thomas sighed and said "Those two are really going at it." Daisy stared at Thomas and said "Do you mind if I ask a question?" Thomas laid down beside her and stared at the exploding planet as he said "Sure, I don't mind." Daisy glanced at him and said "Since your body seems to adapt to things quickly, do you think it could become like steel?" As she asked this Thomas yawned and said "It's probably doable, but my body would have to do it on its own and not use things like health potions and the fairy fruits."
Daisy stared at him and asked "What about healing magic?" Thomas shook his head and said "That wouldn't work either." Daisy stared at him and said "Well if it is doable then we should start trying it now!" Thomas stared at her nervously as she stood up with her blades and said "Stay still, we're gonna see if your body can actually get stronger." Daisy raised swung the blades barely cutting through his jacket and missing him by less then an inch. Thomas stared at her and said "Hold on, don't you think we should talk about this first."
Daisy tossed the dagger into his shoulder and said "We'll start with a simple injury everyday, and we'll eventually increase the weapon damage and see how your body holds up against it." Thomas pulled the dagger out of his shoulder and said "I don't think this is a good idea." Daisy pointed at him and said "Well if you won't work hard to get stronger we'll test some other methods so you can get stronger." Thomas held his shoulder and said "But isn't this kinda dumb?" Daisy put her daggers away and said "Not at all, the injuries won't be anything near fatal."
Daisy grabbed his arm and said "At least not yet anyway, now take your shirt off and let me treat your wound, or do you think that'll slow the progress as well?" Thomas paused for a moment and said "Come to think of it, that might actually slow the rate me body adapts to damage." Daisy took a step back and said "Then we'll leave you like that for now, and tomorrow I'll great another injury on you, and then once that one is healed I'll recreate it."
Thomas held his bloodied shoulder and said "That doesn't sound very reassuring." Daisy smiled and said "Well too bad, I already talked it over with Lily and Poppy, so that means the three of us are gonna test this no matter what." Thomas sighed and said "We'll whatever, so long as the injury isn't fatal I guess I don't have much of an issue with it, but shouldn't I at least get a day off?" Daisy pulled out a note pad and began to write things down as she said "You'll get a break when we start breaking your bones." As she said this Thomas flinched and said "My bones?"
