"Haa...Haa...I guess this is the level I'm currently at"
Taking a deep breath, I sat down on the bench near the villa. Sirens rang everywhere and the colors red and blue flashed everywhere.
—Weeeeooo! —Weeeeooo!
"Khh..."
Suddenly I felt a sharp pain by the side of my abdomen. My face scrunched up, and a bitter smile appeared on my face.
'I guess fighting without using 'Monarch's indifference' and 'The one' is still a bit tough for me', I thought.
Since Professor Thibaut's strength and mine were quite similar, I decided to fight him using my skills only.
Wasn't too keen on losing another arm. Plus, depending on the opponent, there was a chance that 'The one' wouldn't work. I needed to know the extent of my abilities without the use of my skills.
The result?
A deep gash on the side of the abdomen.
"Khh...still, I guess all of my efforts weren't for nothing"
