A Heat Unlike Any Other
The training hall was silent, save for the faint echoes of footsteps. The air felt heavier than usual—not from exhaustion, but from something else entirely.
Mri stood across from Jasmine, his arms crossed as he watched her carefully.
"You want to learn, don't you?" she asked, a teasing smirk playing on her lips.
"That's why I'm here," Mri replied, his voice steady.
Jasmine tilted her head slightly. "Then let's make it… interesting."
Before he could ask what she meant, she reached for the buttons of her jacket.
And slowly, one by one, she undid them.
The fabric slid off her shoulders, revealing smooth, sun-kissed skin and a body honed to perfection. She tossed the jacket aside, now standing in a fitted tank top and training shorts—both clinging to her frame in a way that made it impossible not to notice.
Mri's mouth went dry for a split second.
She was breathtaking.
The definition of confidence and control, wrapped in an aura that burned just as fiercely as the heat radiating from her body. Her violet eyes gleamed with something dangerous—something that sent a different kind of fire through his veins.
"You're staring," she teased, stretching her arms above her head.
Mri smirked, forcing himself to focus. "Hard not to."
Jasmine stepped closer, close enough for him to catch the faintest scent of her skin. "Good. Because this lesson requires your full… attention."
And then, without warning—she struck.
A kick aimed straight for his face.
Mri barely dodged in time, the breeze from her attack brushing against his cheek.
"Too slow," she whispered, already behind him before he could react.
Mri turned sharply, heart pounding—not just from the fight, but from her.
Damn. This girl was dangerous.
Between Strength and Seduction
For the next ten minutes, they moved like two flames caught in the same wildfire.
Jasmine attacked, Mri defended. She dodged, he countered. Yet, no matter how fast he was, she was always one step ahead.
Every movement she made was effortless—flawless. She was untouchable, her body shifting like liquid fire, a mix of power and grace that made it nearly impossible to predict her next move.
And yet—every time he got close, she would slip away just enough to tease him.
At one point, she twisted mid-air and pinned him against the wall, her fingers pressing lightly against his chest.
"You're strong, Mri," she murmured, her breath warm against his skin. "But strength alone won't be enough."
Mri could feel his pulse hammering. "And what will be?"
Jasmine leaned in, her violet eyes locked onto his, their lips just inches apart. "Control. Precision. And knowing… when to strike."
Then—just like that—she was gone again.
Mri exhaled, his mind racing.
He had never met a girl like her.
A slow smirk spread across his face as he rolled his shoulders. "Alright, Jasmine," he said. "Teach me everything you know."
Jasmine tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, amusement flickering in her eyes.
"Oh, don't worry, Mri…" she murmured.
"I plan to."
