Chapter 121: Lesson learnt

"I'll take this a tad bit seriously," I said, getting into a fighting pose. 

The golden hue of Malia's eyes glowed orange, showing her fire mana was turned on and she gave a smile of accomplishment before charging at me.

Using intense focus, time slowed down making it so I could see the trajectory of her punches and every move she was planning to make.

Left straight… Roundhouse… Tornado Kick… Left… Right… Uppercut.

I parried them all and countered with my own punches throwing feints and actual attacks into the mix. 

My leg moved like a whip, faking a shot to the body and hitting her head instead. I made sure to hold back as I saw her not guarding the kick. Her body rocked and she leapt back to a safe distance, shaking her head. 

"Nice one." She uttered, getting into a fighting pose again.
