"How about this!?" I exclaimed, as I abruptly closed in on Lux and swung a kick at her head, which she swiftly ducked under, my heel lightly grazing the top of her head.

"That was an impressive burst of speed, however, your attacks remain too weak," She replied, walking over as I healed myself with a sigh, before asking me as she approached, "How did you do that, that sudden, sharp increase in speed just then?"

"Oh, I changed the shape of the bones in my calves to a spring-like sharp, and made my leg muscles more elastic as well. It's not great for increasing speed while running, but it makes a drastic difference when it comes to jumps and leaps," I replied, as I reverted my legs back to normal.
