Chapter 74: Improvement...
1051 Words
After a couple of hours of beatdown by Mashura... We finally stopped and Mashura... Let me rest on her lap.
"Good work Alfredo... How is it? Are you still feeling any pain?"
Mashura asked gently while rubbing my head... Truth be told... I don't feel any pain right now... It's strange... Considering how one sided that beat down was and how serious Mashura seems... I didn't suffer any damage other than slight red spot all over my body from her beat down...
"No... I didn't feel any pain. How did you manage to beat me down so much but give me almost no pain?"
Mashura just smiled and then look up to the roof of the dojo...
"Well, as I said... It's my own Technique... You see, my stance of fighting is focused more on Soft Technique... So, slight push here and there. It felt really bad when the initial impact for you right? But there's no after pain... It's because I made this technique with the sole intention to fight with safety..."
Mashura explains what she has done... I see... So a technique based on Soft movement huh... It's true, her attack feels like a violence push... But really violent though. The type of push that can let someone soul out of their body...
It's painful. But there's no after pain...
Her technique that I felt is a small punches that barely touch my body... But it's painful as hell... It's so soft that the control she have to do is pretty big... Leading to a more calculated movement... That's why she easily knock me out...
But that's not the only impressive part though...
"Can your technique be deadly?"
"... Yeah... Just like any other technique. It can be dangerous... I can definitely ruptured something inside your body if I didn't control my power. Essentially, without Infinity... I can't really control it to a safe level..."
Yup... I knew it. It felt too safe for a powerful technique like that... It's just a dangerous technique that she control to be as safely as she can...
I can see how that attack can rupture something inside your body though. Her fist would just pierces through skin like it's nothing... And with her perfect ability... She can definitely slip her way to a vital spot...
It's absolutely dangerous...
"Speaking of which... You are improving, Alfredo... You can be proud with that. Did you notices that your endurance has increased by a lot? And your defense is on par with David now?"
"... Really? How did you know that I truly improve? And how do you know that I'm at David Level right now?"
"Well, it's pretty easy... Usually, you would just dodge any attack that comes your way. Surely, because you move pretty fast... You can dodge it pretty well. But you never block anything. And now, you have gathered enough confident to block any of my attack. That alone is a big improvement. And not only that, your defense is at the level of David. In my Infinity... David take a while to beat down because he is a really tough skinned and really thick muscled man. So, your defense essentially the same as him."
I see... So I'm that strong now huh... Well, do I care about it? No... Not really... It's true that I will be going to the front line rather than stay in the back line. But that doesn't mean I'm going to take all of the damage... It's David job to take all the damage.
My job is to giving a continuous amount of damage and also giving support to the rest of the party...
Anyway... I just turn toward her stomach and then just close my eyes.
"Wake me up after three minutes."
"Yeah... Sleep for now."
And with that, I take a sleep...
While Alfredo is sleeping... Mashura is continue to giving him a rub on his hair so that he get more and more comfortable...
'You worry too much, Alfredo. I can see it in your eyes and intention that you're worried about me leaving you for another man... You really think that I will be searching for man other than you? I'm prepared to even die alone if I didn't meet you...'
Mashura think about the old days... She truly love Alfredo to the point that she is going to die alone without marrying or even getting into another relationship with another person. She's prepared to be the forever alone lady.
But it seems like that plan has been cancelled because the two of them has met again in different circumstances...
Alfredo has become more mature and Mashura also become more mature to the point they didn't even think about the past problem anymore... They just focus on the opportunity that might come to them in the future...
They aren't like any other couple that fight every other day... Because they always fight and spar, they didn't really have any intention to smack each other out of the scheduled spar...
Anyway... Mashura just look up to the ceiling and have a little bit of giggles... And without her noticing... Alfredo had woken up from his three minutes nap...
And it seems like he has yet to get all of his soul back.. So Mashura just play with him for a bit before Alfredo souls gathers... But, it doesn't seem like it's gathering at all.
'... Is he still sleeping? I wonder what dream he's experiencing right now to act silly like this.'
Mashura just wake up Alfredo up by Pinching his nose. Alfredo get troubled breathing and eventually, he open his eyes.
"Haaah?!!!"
What was that for?! You almost killed me Mashura!!!
"It's been three minutes. Wake up and do your job now."
... Ah... Right... I did tell her to wake me up after three minutes... But the thing is... I'm pretty sleepy right now...
"Let's sleep Mashura... I'm pretty sleepy still."
"Eh? You don't have anything to do?"
"... No..."
"Alright then. Let's rest for the day and talk with Yuri and David regarding the condition in Oubon. If we determined that they're still safe, then it's great. If not, we can rush there in three hours."
"Yeah. Let's do that..."
Plans were made and we obviously follow that plan...
