Talking

Carlo gulped dryly, face-to-face with this much pressure was something new for Carlo. He had been on the battlefield since he was a young man even in the worst of situations he had never felt this way. Lyner was smiling happily at him but in Carlo's view, he was seeing something else. 

'Alex manage to fight this guy alone?'

Carlo was surprised that his son could fight this kind of monster to a standstill. Unknown to him, that after that battle with Alex, Lyner was secretly sharpening himself, to get back into fighting shape. He had noticed that even while playing around with a bunch of kids he actually felt a little tired. Learning that he could not defeat a few children without breaking a single sweat was a blow to his pride, and he started retraining. So the Lyner in front of Carlo was so much stronger than he was a few days ago.
