Training Room
In the spacious training room, the distinct sounds of strikes and agile movements created a symphony of combat. Nana, with her unique ability to fly and powerful punches, faced Riser Phenex, a master of martial arts and a devil with exceptional magical abilities.
The atmosphere was charged with electricity as the two studied each other, prepared to explore their abilities to the fullest. Riser, with his fiery eyes, observed every move of Nana, who hovered in the air with surprising grace before launching powerful punches in his direction.
Riser, agilely jumping to avoid the blows, admired Nana's aerial dexterity. He could feel the brute force of her punches, each loaded with impressive energy. It was a dance of combat, an intense choreography between Nana's aerial speed and Riser's acrobatic prowess.
At the peak of the confrontation, Nana dove towards Riser, unleashing a series of rapid punches. Riser, with remarkable skill, skillfully evaded, leveraging his mastery of martial arts. However, Nana didn't give up, adjusting her strategy to surprise Riser.
While both exchanged blows, Riser noticed something unique about Nana. Her punches, besides being fast and powerful, possessed remarkable precision. Each strike was calculated, targeting specific points. Intrigued, Riser decided to test Nana's resilience.
In a bold move, Riser allowed one of Nana's punches to hit his torso. However, to Nana's surprise, Riser's body instantly hardened like iron, absorbing the impact without showing signs of damage. Nana, taken aback, stepped back, evaluating Riser's defensive ability.
"Interesting," commented Riser, admiring Nana's reaction. "You certainly have a powerful punch, but the resilience of my body is formidable. Let's see how far you can go."
Determined to overcome this challenge, Nana focused on refining her strategy. While circling around Riser, she assessed her options. In a moment of inspiration, Nana decided to combine her flying ability with precise punches, targeting not only brute force but also possible gaps in Riser's defense.
The combat continued with renewed intensity. Riser, in turn, was impressed with Nana's strategic ability. Each punch was now a calculated dance between attack and defense. Riser continued to gracefully evade, but the precision of Nana's punches made every move uncertain.
In a moment of respite, Riser praised Nana: "Your approach is truly unique, Nana. This combination of flight and precise punches is a formidable strategy. You can find weaknesses in your opponents' defense remarkably."
Nana, catching her breath, replied with a grateful smile: "Thank you, Riser-sama. I've learned a lot from this training. Your defensive skills are incredible, and facing you is a stimulating challenge."
Riser, appreciating the mutual respect developing, decided to share some insights with Nana. "Remember, Nana, the secret is to maintain flexibility in your approach. Adapt to situations, exploit your opponents' weaknesses, and above all, enhance your own skills."
The two, now more connected through the combat experience, agreed to conclude the training for now. The training room echoed with the sound of heavy breathing, but also with the sense of progress and mutual respect.
___
As Riser and Nana finished their fight, it was time for Yubelluna and Erza to take the stage. While the two prepared for the imminent battle, Riser observed Shizuku with a pensive look. Considering Shizuku's unique ability, he pondered the appropriate strategy. Concluding that putting her against 8 pawns was risky, he decided it would be wiser to keep her with the other girls, separating them only if absolutely necessary.
While Yubelluna and Erza positioned themselves for the upcoming fight, Riser continued to outline his strategies. He remembered the gold-level summoning card he possessed. Thinking strategically, he decided to use this resource effectively.
Riser thought: "I still have a gold-level summoning card. It's better to use it away from here. I'll take a two-day trip, use the summoning card, and return with plenty of time for the Rating Game."
________
The training room was imbued with an electric atmosphere, anticipating the intense battle about to begin between Yubelluna and Erza. Both fighters were positioned, looking at each other with determination.
Erza, (activating Requip) Get ready, Yubelluna. This will be a memorable fight.
Yubelluna: (smiling) I can't wait to see what you have to offer, Erza.
The fight started with an explosion as Yubelluna, with her explosive powers, attempted to catch Erza off guard.
Erza: (switching to a sturdy armor) Let's see how you deal with this, Yubelluna!
The sturdy armor protected Erza from Yubelluna's initial explosions. Erza then launched a counterattack, skillfully dodging the explosions while closing in.
Yubelluna, (smiling) You're agile, Erza, but you haven't seen my best yet!
Yubelluna increased the intensity of her explosions, creating a barrage of attacks. Erza, using her Requip, chose an armor that not only protected her from the explosions but also increased her durability.
Erza, (holding the shield) You need to be stronger than that to defeat me.
Erza began advancing, blocking the explosions with her shield as she approached Yubelluna. Erza's strategy was clear: test Yubelluna's resilience while maintaining her own defense.
Yubelluna, (concentrating) I need to increase the power of my explosions.
Yubelluna focused her powers, creating more powerful and concentrated explosions. However, Erza continued to defend skillfully, resisting the durability test.
Erza, (advancing) Now it's my turn.
Erza advanced quickly, dodging the explosions and approaching Yubelluna with precision. In a skilled move, Erza placed her sword at Yubelluna's neck, momentarily ending the fight.
Erza, (seriously) Surrender, Yubelluna. You can't win this battle.
Yubelluna: (conceding) Alright, I give up.
Although Yubelluna surrendered, a shadow of dissatisfaction lingered over her. Erza noticed this and, in a gesture of respect, lowered her sword.
Erza, (calmly) You're strong, Yubelluna. Keep training and improving.
Riser, watching closely, sensed Yubelluna's frustration and had an idea to help her overcome this difficult moment.
Riser, (thinking) Perhaps it's best if I take Yubelluna. It would be an opportunity to spend time with my queen.
Deciding to act, Riser approached Yubelluna after the fight.
Riser, (gentle) Yubelluna, come with me. I'll be traveling in the next two days; it will be a chance for us to be together.
Yubelluna: (surprised) Traveling? Of course, I'd love to! But why this sudden decision?
Riser: Sometimes, it's good to take a step back, relax a bit. Besides, I think it would be a great opportunity for us to spend some time together.
Yubelluna: (smiling) That sounds wonderful, Riser-sama! I'd love to spend time by your side.
Riser: Great! Let's take a short trip, enjoy the time, maybe explore some interesting places. What do you think?
Yubelluna: (excited) It sounds amazing! I can't wait to start this journey.
Riser: Excellent. I'll ask Nana to take care of informing Sona. Now, go prepare your things. We'll be departing soon.
Yubelluna: (grateful) Thank you, Riser-sama. I'm looking forward to this trip.
Riser: Me too, Yubelluna. It will be good to have some quiet time away from the usual responsibilities.
