After a sparring that lasted for about just less than 20 minutes, Elisa was finally on her knees, but it was clear to everyone that the only thing that was holding her back was her little body, and this made everyone see her in a whole another light. To think that a child of such age would be able to compete and stay as long as 20 minutes of fighting the Empress is already impressive enough, but she even went on ahead and put some minor scratches on her body which made it even more an impressive feat.
But none of them knew that Elisa was full of hatred deep inside because she could feel it, the woman in front of her was just playing with her, and she wasn't taking her seriously at all, even after she made sure that Yani felt her immense bloodlust, but the worst thing for her is that she was defeated. Her pride couldn't take that at all, but she simply took a breath and composed herself, not letting her anger get the best of her.
In reality, she was angrier in herself because this was the first time that she had lost like this even back in the Mystic Dragon Heaven, she had absolutely no trouble fighting in a little child's body, but fighting Yani slapped her hard. She couldn't even do anything and worse of all is that she couldn't properly adapt to what she was doing to her.
But instead of lashing out and killing Yani right here and now, she swallowed her pride this time and worked even harder than before to learn what kind of fighting moves she was doing to her, because, for the first time in her life, it was the first time she saw something like that.
A variety of attacks that all seemed weak when first looking at it, but when you get hit, you will churl in pain because of how strong it was, never has she seen a fighting style like that, even though she knew more than a thousand already. Even her fighting style was so deadly wasn't able to do anything and it didn't even matter that she was in a child's body.
"You don't need to feel frustrated about yourself, little Elisa. You did a very good job actually, my Martial Arts seemed confusing, but it's actually very reliable. Your Martial Arts however is very interesting, you are mixing grapple, boxing, and even some flair of Judo and Jiu Jutsu. Let's try fighting again once when you are old enough, I want to see how powerful your creation is because I'm quite confident that this is the first Martial Arts that I have seen, I might actually even help you refine it." Yani said with a light smile on her face and hearing her words made Elisa look at her with a masked confused look.
For the whole 20 minutes, she was set on killing the woman in front of her, her bloodlust was on fairly high the whole time, though even if it was only about 20% of what she could truly bring, it was still enough to make any normal beings or even above average to feel threatened, but she was fine, and was even smiling at her.
"Okay? But… I didn't really know what I was doing, I was just basing everything on what I had read… But okay…" Elisa just nodded her little head as she was then assisted by her Mother to get up because she was simply too tired to walk on her own right now.
"You said that you wouldn't push her too far! You liar!" Alvit'r puffed her cheeks as she carried Elisa in her arms and confronted Yani angrily, though there was no real heat in them.
"Come on, don't lie. You were also surprised, in fact, I even saw you smiling happily and most importantly proud of Elisa when she fell down because you couldn't believe that she lasted 20 minutes sparring with me, and even managing to put scratches in me." Yani just chuckled as she patted Alvitr's head and flicked her forehead playfully before going back to her husband's place.
"You're a warrior yourself, well not anymore, but you know the real potential of your own daughter, as I'm sure the instincts of being the Sword Saintess are still well and alive within you," Yani added with a light smile as she held her husband's hand in her own tightly while looking at Alvitr and Elisa.
Alvitr wasn't able to say anything because she knew that Yani was right about what she said, she felt so excited, happy, and most of all proud of Elisa for bringing Yani to that extent. She didn't expect that at all and just by watching her, she already knew that she would be an amazing fighter, a warrior.
That made her want for Elisa to follow the exact path that she took, to be the commander of the Royal Army, but she simply threw the idea out of her head because she would rather die than let Elisa do what she didn't like and be unhappy rather than being happy with her life. If she wants to be a detective, then so be it.
"Yeah… I know, I'm so proud of you Elisa. Now, I'm really sure that you will be a phenomenal Detective, just like your dream." Alvitr said softly as she pressed her lips on Elisa's cheeks and kissed her, feeling so proud of her.
'What the hell…' Elisa said to herself as she didn't expect such a way of affection from her Mother, even though she had been kissed like that a lot of times already, for some reason this time it was different from the rest. She suddenly remembered the days when she was still a normal little girl living on Earth, memory washed over her head as she simply looked at her Mother.
But after a few seconds of looking at her, she simply smiled response before hugging Alvitr's neck in response and letting the tiredness completely take over her body as she finally fell asleep, when Avitr felt her little daughter sleeping on her shoulder, she simply smiled as she patted her back.
"Sleep tight my sweet little baby, Mommy is so proud of you. I love you so much." Alvitr silently said as she walked towards everyone and decided that it was the time of the day to retire everyone as it was already pretty late in the night.
"Let's stop here for now, I'm sure everyone is tired. The maids have prepared all of your rooms now, just follow them to go to your rooms, let's continue this tomorrow as I'm sure all of you planned to do something, as I haven't had any since you came here without any real prior notice." Alvitr said to all of them as she then finally left with Elisa in her arms.
Everyone just laughed at her words since it was true as they had come here without any real reason apart from wanting to meet her, so they prepared with what they should do during their stay here. They simply then said their goodbyes and followed the maid to their respective rooms to take a rest after a long day.
