Chapter 43: Something Special

Both Nakata and Lucy stood on an isolated training platform, a few feet apart, allowing enough space for their upcoming spar. 

A transparent reinforced glass wall separated them from Asher and Takai, who sat in comfortable chairs. 

Takai glanced over at Asher, who sat quietly in his chair.

"What do you think of their spar?" he asked, attempting to lighten the mood. He had always been the type of person who could not endure silence.

Asher remained silent, leaning forward with his eyes fixed on the match. He wanted to see how much humans could achieve with their bodies alone and how powerful Lucy really was.

'What a stuck up guy,'  Takai sighed.

Their personalities just didn't mix. He thrived on conversation and connection, while Asher preferred to keep to himself.
