Rain was starting to reconsider his life choices and his goals… getting stronger was fine and all, but it was mentally exhausting to come up with Battle plans to face the people he loved.
As a guy, Rain could understand that punching another man in a ring and forgetting soon afterward was possible. Still, the same thing was very difficult against a woman. He could punch his father with no problem, but hitting the women in his family… just the idea left a bad taste in his mouth.
"I guess I will just employ a Rocky strategy," Rain thought. "Let her punch me and wait that only that will make her lose somehow. I am on the right path to becoming a full-blown masochist, after all."
Before long, Rain and Seara were called to the center of the ring, and then they assumed their fighting stances. Rain wondered if he should joke around a bit to dispel that kind of tense atmosphere, but he didn't want to disrespect Seara's focus and intention.
