A beautiful monster (2)
'How is it possible that someone that never trained have this much experience' wondered Lilia as she watched the charging Alex, running straight towards her.
The reason Lilia was stunned by Alex's display was that she knew how difficult it was for someone who had just ascended to a new level to control their strength. And now, Alex didn't just pass to another level; he ascended three whole levels. The difference in strength should be so vast that it might take days or even weeks to completely adapt to the changes.
However, in just a few minutes, without even exercising, he was able to control his strength. Of course, she could still feel that he hadn't completely adapted to his new strength. But remembering his feint just moments ago, she knew that he had adapted to most of his strength because that feint he just made required good control of his body; otherwise, he couldn't have stopped himself in time.
'There are two possibilities,' Lilia thought. 'Either it's due to his body rank; he can quickly adapt to his strength without needing much training. Or he's simply a genius in combat, which I doubt because I've seen him fight once, and it was definitely not at this level. So, it must be due to his body.'
Lilia was correct in her conjectures. Alex's current body allowed him to quickly adapt to his strength, but that wasn't the sole reason. The primary cause was Alex's experience, particularly the part of Jack Green that composed the current Alex.
'That's a good thing that he at least has a decent level of experience, that's means that it will take less time to transform him into a good fighter'
As she finished her thoughts, Alex was already upon her, raising both of his arms to punch. He planned to follow up with a kick using his leg to strike upward toward her chin the moment their hands met.
As Lilia moved and appeared to use her hands to block his own, Alex smirked slyly in his mind. He could almost visualize the surprise in her eyes when his legs connected with her chin.
'That will teach you to underestimate me,' thought Alex gleefully.
However, his hands met empty air. He couldn't even comprehend what was happening. One moment, Lilia was right in front of him, and the next, she disappeared.
'Where is she?' wondered Alex as his eyes darted from left to right, trying to pinpoint her location without success.
Just then, he felt a hand rest on his shoulder.
"First lesson..."
Lilia's voice had always seemed like an angelic voice in Alex's ears, however, right now it sounded more like the voice of the grim reaper.
He quickly moved, trying to put as much distance as he could between them while turning around to look towards her, unfortunately for him, he was too late to move, the moment he turned around he came face to face with Lilia's fist, he felt a shiver run down his spine and tried to move out of her fist trajectory.
Alas...
"...try not to give away your next move" said Lilia as her fist connected to Alex's face with so much speed and force that he was propelled in the air.
Boom
It took at least a few seconds before Alex's body crashed against the ground while releasing an explosion sound, at the point of the crash a dust cloud was released and when it scattered one could find the motionless body of Alex laying on the ground with foam coming out of his mouth.
"..."
"..."
"Did you just...kill dad ?" asked Scarlett worriedly.
"No! He is just unconscious... I think" replied Lilia with a hesitant tone under Scarlett's scrutiny.
Scarlett then walked towards Alex's body and checked his vital sign, she then released a sigh of relief when she felt that he was just unconscious.
Seeing the relief on Scarlett's face as she got up, Lilia exclaimed with a wronged tone, "see! I told you he was just unconscious"
"Though I don't think he heard what you said at the end" remarked Scarlett, looking at Alex's motionless body.
"I...also think so" replied Lilia while scratching her head, before smiling innocently and saying "it's not a big deal, I will say it to him when he wakes up"
'How much time would that take, though ?' Wondered Scarlett as she looked at Alex, who didn't show any sign of waking up.
***
After at least half an hour, Alex jolted awake while panting.
He looked around him like, trying to understand where he was and why he was laying on the ground.
'Why does my head hurt so much' wondered Alex before hearing a gentle voice say :
"You are finally awake, now we can resume the training"
Alex turned toward the location of the voice and saw Lilia trolling toward him while flexing her arm, however contrary to her tone, there was not a gentle expression on her face, just a cold sneer.
Seeing Lilia, Alex finally remembered what had happened and why he was laying on the ground.
'What have I gotten myself into ?'
