Inadequate

Sera's gym was full of people training. The most notable was the circle in the middle, which everyone left alone.

There, Sera trained alone with Damien. They weren't using powers, only physical strength, so obviously Sera got her ass handed to her repeatedly.

She dodged his training sword, then moved her glaive in a low sweep. He back flipped over it and delivered a kick in mid air.

It hit Sera on her jaw, stunning her momentarily. Damien then doubled down with a clean stab, that Sera managed to push away just as it was about to hit her midsection.

She moved as fast as she could. While turning in a pirouette, she took a step back and attacked Damien with a vertical strike.

He didn't even place extra strength or speed into his sword, but still parried her glaive with ease. Even in his minor blow, there was enough force for Sera's glaive to fly a few meters away.

She didn't let the move unbalance her though. Her golden eyes turned angry and annoyed.
