Helanie:
It had been a few days since we returned from that carnival. We hadn't enjoyed it, and even though I had been angry with Rudy and never wanted to see his face again, I was still relieved that Rhiz was taken away.
"Ahhh!" I sighed as I landed on my feet again.
"Impressive," Norman commented, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
Since he wasn't the type to let me win or even allow a single punch through without defending with everything he had, I found it fun to tell others that I did beat Norman in training.
"Thank you," I smiled, giving him a small bow. Kaye and Maximus had done their parts too.
We fought, and I was able to knock them out of the circle a few times, but they were still very soft on me. I noticed they would hesitate before throwing a punch at me.
As for Norman, he mostly defended himself.
