"This is absurd... I don't think any of us is stronger than you anymore. You have a lot left hidden under your sleeves, right?"
Minutes after the conclusion of our sparring, that was my father's first words when we started reviewing the result of our sparring.
Our wounds are real so… he's pretty much banged up by me. Likewise, the places where I got hit by his punches were still throbbing in pain. I called for Noelle to help out in healing us. I could heal myself with Elemental Spells but I also let Noelle treat me.
The girl always wanted to be of help, no matter how small it was. And in this way, I could make it an excuse to hold her. That's hitting two birds in one stone.
My father was obviously still shaken by the strength I showed him. Although he probably failed to show everything he has as well, it's indubitably true that in less than a year, I went from a clueless high school boy to a Rank 4 Transcendent like him.
