With no battles in front of me, I've been doing other things that were also important.
I set up my 'Reasons' with Edward, and it might be the one that takes most of my time. Working day and night as a model is a lot harder than I thought, especially going back and forth between multiple dresses was really tough. Then I had to take pictures with them, which adds more to the fatigue.
Other than that, I practiced various sword styles with Natasha. Fighting against twelve 'King' class combatants from the ancient clans woke me up from just how useful my learned techniques were when I didn't have enough mystical energy. Against the shadow ninjas without mystic arts, I should've been able to win had I known more techniques.
And Natasha is just a very good swordswoman. She knows basically every sword art from all around the world, even though she mainly uses the middle eastern style with the scimitar.
