*Boom*
Looking at the aftermath of the collision, it seems we ended up in a stalemate as both shots cancelled each other out.
"FATE is unfulfilled! And never would be." I said in response her exaggerated claim.
We could probably end the fight here and say our powers are equal to each other in the same level. That's what normal people would do in this situation, but-
*Swoosh* Jess shot out a blade shaped mana bolt, while I used Neon for enhancing my body instead of conversion of energy, and then I chopped straight at the mana bolt.*Boom* Blowing it up at collision.
-We are not normal, are we?
*Swoosh* *Voom* *Boom*
Mana bolts shooting across the room.
Chops and punches destroying mana bolts.
Mana barriers and shields being cut through by energy swords and blasted apart by lasers.
Mana bombs exploding everywhere.
Energy shield blocking explosions.
Creation of mana weapons followed by the creation of energy weapons.
Clashing of said weapons.
Clashing of endless energy bullets and mana bolts.
This was the theme of the training for two hours.
"Hey, don't you get tired?" I asked Jess as both of us prepared for another round of shot exchange.
"I don't, and I will not, not until FATE is fulfilled." She said with a smile on her face.
'She is really enjoying this, isn't she? Battle maniac. Well, I can't blame her, I am enjoying this too.'
Normally as [ 0 star ] that we presently are, we are meant to be able to fight at our peak for only about 10 mins cause we are drawing latter from the surroundings, but this doesn't affect the both of us as we are unique stars. Even as a [ 0 star ] we have more access to the latter in the surroundings than [ 2 star ] fighters. This is due to our higher talent and control of latter. The difference between the strength of a [ 1 star ] fighter and a [ 0 star ] unique star is practically non existent due to this.
"Hmmm, I think we should stop here, I haven't done my laundry." Jess said abruptly as we were about to start the third round.
"What? Laundry? You do laundry yourself? Can't you use a micro-cleaner to clean the clothes?" I asked perplexed. Since the invention of micro-cleaner using nano technology, over a hundred thousand years ago, no one does laundry by themselves again.
Shaking her head to indicate no, she said. "No, all my clothes are treasures just like your jacket, they have the ability to stay clean without my intervention but I have been taught to always take care of them by my dad, cause they are gifts from my late mother. Hence me doing laundry."
"Oh, okay." I said while dissolving the energy bullets revolving around me. "Treasures, hmm, that's why your white gown is still spotless since the time I saw it this morning."
"Yep. This is also my favorite dress of them all." She replied as she dissolved her mana bolts too. "Get stronger, next time I won't lower my level to fight you." She said, before turning around to exit the training room.
"Hmm, okay. I will probably surpass you soon anyways."
"I doubt that."
"You will see."
"I will wait."
We continued speaking as she walked away. Just before she exited the training room completely, I called out."If you get stuck in the washing machine, feel free to call me!"
"What?" She turned to face me with a confused look.
"Erm, nevermind." I replied with an embarrassed smile on my face. 'Why did I say that?'
She stared at me for a few seconds before turning around and leaving. I could have sworn I saw a smirk on her face as she turned her face away, but it's probably a illusion.
'I really want to ask about her mother, but it isn't my place to pry.' I thought to myself as I confirmed that she had left. 'At least, not yet'
I sat down on floor of the dueling ring, which is now repairing itself after the fight. I am sure Jess and her father don't use this training room, considering the fact that it can be damaged by 1 star level fights.
After sitting down, I thought through the fight or training session I just had with Jess and I began highlighting the aspects that needs improvement in me. Weirdly I got nothing.
'It seems I was a really experienced fighter before the crash.'
When fighting with Jess, I discovered that if it was a real life and death situation, I could have won the fight even if I only use the less powerful partial [ G ] class Power. It's like I was built for fighting. More specifically, fighting with the mutant ability.
'Hmm, anyways.'
The mutant ability increase me in all aspects, and I can use my star ability, Neon, for versatility, I am pretty such I am as strong as a average [ 1 star ] unique star.
I have a lot of advantages that I am questioning the plan of the dude who sent me here.
'Is a calamity going to befall me soon? I doubt that, I don't know why, but I can tell no direct harm is coming at me anytime soon. I can tell, probably due to the effect of Power on my soul. It made it stronger, so I should be more trusting of my instincts and intuition. Even though it says no 'direct harm' is coming at me, I can tell something is about to happen soon that will change the new life I just started. I can also tell I would be fine if I leave here right now, but.... I don't want to.'
'I probably should get stronger huh.'
Back at my room.....
I am on my bed staring at the ceiling.
Raising my left hand up, I instructed my smartwatch to scan the room for hidden cameras and video recording nano technology. It is apparently capable of a lot of things that I even find hard to believe, like scanning for every sort of device in a planet. But such features will require it to be infused with a lot more latter than I can presently handle, so I cannot use it to its maximum ability.
[ No video or voice recording device found ]
After confirming no video recording device is around, I took a stardust out of my ring.
Looking at it with a grin on my face, I said "Let's use my advantages to its max before I am hit in the face by reality."
