"Haaah…..Haaaah….."
Standing in the middle of the sparring field, I was breathing heavily as Carl stood in front of me. The sparring continued without sparring, and as my competitive spirit was ignited, I didn't hold back my attacks at all, exerting myself to the limits.
"You did well."
As I caught my breath, beads of sweat rolling down my forehead, I couldn't help but marvel at Carl's stamina. The relentless sparring had taken a toll on me, but the man standing before me seemed almost unaffected.
'What a monster.'
I thought, acknowledging the vast difference in our physical capabilities. As I observed Carl's minor wounds, I realized the sparring had become a test not just of skills but also of endurance and recovery. It was a stark reminder of the diverse strengths present among the students in the academy.
'It was the first time I have gone against such an enemy.'
