Chapter 29 - Gauging Raw Capability

"Are we lovers or something? Why are we just staring at each other? Make a move!" Rad roared at Titania with a proud smile on his face. He started punching the air to loosen his arms some more.

Why was he smiling? He's always smiling. Always at someone when he's talking, even when the matter was something serious. Smiling when he looks at someone too, creepy. Positive too. Always busting with joy and positivity. A man like him around is draining to Titania.

"Alright, Alright!" Titania shouted back and dashed towards him.

He felt very uncomfortable moving. With the system giving him an enhanced body, blessing him with strength, speed, a sturdy body and so much more. It made it difficult to get use to. The only time where improvement doesn't help him. It reminds him of all of those character in those novels that he use to read that know how to fight right off the bat. What a bunch of fakes.

What also made him angry was seeing what his highest stat is. How the absolute hell is it Charisma? Anyway back to the scene.

He dashed towards Rad with all of the speed he could muster and hit him with a side kick with his right leg. Rad shifted his body to shrink the area of where Titania was about to hit and protected it with his arm. When his kick made contact with Rad's sleeve a small bit of dust came out of his shirt.

Seeing the dust come off of the shirt, "Hey, hey, hey! Thanks for the free cleaning!" he said as he started swiping his sleeve. "Come on, keep 'em coming, we gotta collect some more data. Don't worry I ain't going to hit yea yet." He waved his hand to taunt him to strike him some more.

Titania nodded his head as he put his leg back down. He then strike him with the same kick with his other leg. Rad responded the same way by taunting him with his hand and flashing his teeth at him.

He hit Rad with every kick he remembered. And he hit him with everything that he remembered he started to do them in combos. Like doing a side kick with his left then right and then doing a front snap kick. All in different orders, sometimes repeating the beginning sequence but not the final kick. Every now and then he was able to catch Rad by surprise but every time he was able to hit his body he tanked it as though it was nothing. It was like he was made out of steel.

Every time he would hit him he would let out a laugh and cheer him on. For some reason this drove Titania insane. What he mocking him? Does he know that no matter what he does he can't land a single successful hit? It fills him with foaming rage, making him strike faster and harder.

He knows that this was nothing but positive encouragement and he should be happy getting it. However, it feels wrong to hear something positive towards him. He felt like a machine trying to accept a wrinkled dollar. Wanting to accept it but rejecting it because it feels wrong. It drove him insane, is he actually encouraging him or just making fun of him.

After a while Rad shot a sideways glance at Beliz. Beliz then gave him a signal with his hand to tell him to stop. Rad nodded his head in response.

"Alright, now we are in part two of the assessment, damage endurance," Rad said as Titania was in mid strike. He then grabbed Titania's leg and lifted his body into the air and slammed him into the ground.

"Now we got a good gauge on how much damage you can take, given that what I did to you didn't kill you instantly. See we finished part two, right?" Rad said as he shot another glance at Beliz and raise his hands, palms up. Beliz just let out a deep sigh and took off his glasses to rub the bridge of his nose.

"Yes," He grumbled loudly.

"Alright we got the raw combat data, now we gotta see how you fair in a fight against someone. Part three. Last Part." Rad said as he extended his hand to Titania.

Titania layed on the floor writhing in pain. All of the air was knocked out of him, leaving him gasping for wisps of delicious air. Bolts of pain shot up his spine then through his body, leaving him unable to move for a slight moment.

Titania feebly took his hand and got up. They then went to their respective side of the room, Titania limping to his. When he to his side he stretched for a bit to regain the sensation his his body. Rad waited for Titania to finish.

Rad shot final glance at Beliz and then looked back at Titania.

"Now we're gonna fight one on one," Rad said lifting his fists in the air, jumping side to side pumping himself up, "If ya got any tricks this right here is now the time do it boy!"

Titania and Rad rushed at each other at break neck speed to get the first jab.
