Chapter 30- An Understanding.
"BOOOOM!"
Our fists collided creating a powerful shockwave all around us. "Not bad." Lars said as he jumped back
"Not bad yourself." I said trying not to sound to impressed. I looked around at where we just were and noticed some cracks on the ground. 'damn that was a lot of force.' I thought to myself.
I looked over to Lars and noticed a red hue was glowing around his hands this time though nothing happened. Which meant that it was probably an enhancement for his body.
"What, you have metal arms the least I can do is reinforce mine." Lars said without a hint of guilt.
'He really doesn't care and just wants to win.' I thought but to me it didn't matter I as already pretty powerful without using magic in my Werewolf form. So it didn't matter to me.
I readied my fists and charged back at Lars, this time he didn't move from his spot. He was going to take me head on.
I swung my fist for a right hook, he dodged but and sent a jab to my stomach. That was fine by me since it was all part of my plan. When his fist connected I sent my knee straight up and into his elbow making clean contact.
"Ahh." Lars jumps back holding his elbow in pain. It didn't look broken so it was probably sprained.
"Damn. Nice hit, but that's all you will get." Lars said as he speed towards with incredible speed. I put my arm up to block his punch. He throw his other fist towards my chin, not wanting to take another hit I jump back dodging his strike.
Not stopping once my feet hit the ground I leap back into him throwing my fists at him as fast as I can.
Lars tries to block them all but a few get through and hit his face and chest. He grunts but otherwise fights through the pain and keeps blocking. His endurance is impressing and almost as good as mine, almost.
I keep my fists striking all of his weak points and than whip my tail at his leg cutting it. He didn't expect me to be able to have full control over my tail as well. He was surprised and slowed his blocking down. He was having to put less pressure on that leg and I was able to hit his side and right across the face a few times.
We kept at it, none of were using magic in this fight besides Lars' enhancement to keep up. This was purely a fist fight. No it was more like a brawl, a brawl in which men fight out their differences.
We trade blow after blow neither of us is willing to back down, we both want to win and be superior. However as time goes on our bodies get more and more battered and bruised. I could use my healing ability on my wounds and be good as new, but that isn't the type of fight that we are having.
I lost track of how much time had past twenty minutes, thirty, an hour who knows. All I can do is continue to launch punch after punch.
My left eye is black and blue, swollen shut but I keep throwing punches not relenting for a second. I know what this fight is about. It's about whether or not I am good enough for his daughter or not.
Whether I can protect her from this dangerous and ever changing world.
I see that Lars is in the same shape that I am, beat to all hell. But a smile is on his face, the biggest smile that I have ever seen. He is smiling at me and I couldn't help myself at all and also flash him a big wolf toothy grin.
"HAHAHAH!" Lars starts laughing.
"HAHAHAH!" I join in and start laughing as well. Our fight has ended we have received each others respect and I gained the most important thing of all, his blessing to be with his daughter.
We both throw one last good punch at each others face. Each of them connect and than we both fall down to the floor completely exhausted and winded.
"hah. Your not half bad kid." Lars said trying to catch his breath.
"Heh. Your not so bad yourself old man." My body shifts out of its Werewolf state and back to that of my human form.
Both of us are covered in sweat and grime. As I looked up at the sky I noticed that our fight must have only been around an hour because dawn had finished and the sun was now visible. "grumble" my stomach rumbles letting me know that I was very hungry.
"haha. Let's go get something to eat the girls should be up by now." Lars said as he got up, put his watch on and dispelled the magic barrier.
Both of us head inside to grab breakfast and say good morning to our significant others. Both of us had a much better relationship, though Lars still barely says anything and still grunts as a response.
I figured Lars was just more of a quite person in general. Olivia and I stayed the rest of the weekend with her parents and the rest of the trip was very enjoyable especially since both her parents accepted me.
We drove home Sunday night with happy smiles on our faces. Olivia was especially happy now that she had her parents blessing. Needless to say when we got home that night she was very energetic, and very forward.
Sunday ended with a bang and then Monday rolled around and it was time for the UISF to take the fight to the Demon Lord cultists.
I lead the UISF towards the back alley, where I stopped the other day. It took a while for the UISF to check the area out and confirm my suspicions.
We were going to hit them back and hit them hard.
