[Dungeon, 17th floor]
On the last room on the 17th floor, otherwise called {The Great Wall of Grief}, a room made out of white bedrock that seemed almost like marble, and where the Rex Goliath is supposed to spawn.
Two people were standing across from each other.
On one side was a woman with blonde hair and golden eyes, she wore light armor on her chest, arms, and hips, with a white and black dress underneath. In her hand, she was holding a rapier-like sword.
And on the other side was a man, dirty blonde hair with a streak of blue down the middle, his eyes violet. He wore no armor at all, with an air of confidence that could be mistaken for arrogance the only clothes he had were a grey t-shirt, a pair of shorts that reached below his knee, and some black boots.
On his hand was a long sword, the body of the blade was white metal, and of the runes that once filled it only a couple remained, after Gram shattered against his fight with Dix the runes disappeared as if the sword 'died' in a way but when he fused the cursed spear tip with Gram, making the edge turn crimson red, it seemed like it came back to 'life' as some of the runes came back, though, they seemed blurry and incomplete.
They had been sparring for the last 4 days and the only thing he had to say about Ais was 'Monster', she even adapted her fighting style to counter most of his moves.
And he even thinks that she's got a knack for [Beli Ma] already, even if not through Bent, she was manipulating forces and transferring energy through her magic wind, the worst part it's that it seemed like she did this unconsciously.
'Another cheater, although, it isn't that bad if it helps me too' he thought looking at his status.

'Interesting… many good options here, especially [Bed talk] and that last one, Kala…' He wondered what that ability could be.
After a little bit of thought, he still wasn't clear on what to choose, eyeing the options he saw Ais through the transparent System window which gave him an idea.
'I Choose [Like a book]' Suddenly he was able to tell how Ais was feeling just by looking at her stoic face, that usually didn't give anything away.
'She's Excited, determined, is that a bit of joy? There's also quite a bit of trust, and if I'm right about my choice… I should be able to read her movements too, you might not be able to beat me Ais…' He covered his mouth with his free hand, trying to hide his habitual wicked smile 'Now there's a bit of intrigue'
"Alright!" Calvin exclaimed "Seeing that this is your last chance to become my disciple, I'll give you the first move" he said as Ais got in a stance.
