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.
With Emmet, though, things were even more different. He would only teach me strength and tips for different techniques. He refused to fight me at all.
