Beast Evolution Forge

Chapter 46 Forest Pt.8

Jia sidestepped Yenna's strike with precision, her movements fluid and controlled. Yenna landed lightly on her feet, her posture tense, her mana coiling around her like armor.

"I said, back off!" She growled, her voice low and guttural, more animal than human. She lunged again, her hands began glowing with energy.

Jia clicked her tongue, her annoyance evident. "You really want to do this?" she asked, stepping backward, easily avoiding another strike. "Fine, if you insist."

She twisted, her leg snapping out in a sweeping kick aimed at Yenna's torso. She dodged with an almost unnatural agility, landing a blow against Jia's arm, though it did nothing.

"ugh, well that was something, seems i forgot power needs to be stored in core before you can use it properly." He rubbed his head in pain, standing up using the wall as support. His vision was a little blurry but as it clear up, he saw Yenna getting punched into the wall, blood coming from her mouth.

"What the hell?" His blood went cold as he took in the scene. He didn't know the context but that wouldn't matter. His power went wild as he leaped and instantly appeared in front of them.

"H-Huma-" He grabbed her head and swatted her away like a bug. The force was enough to make her nose bleed as she regained her balance.

'...'She glanced and the blood on her hand and then back at Vell, 'that power...its the same from before but its more stable now.' She was not angry about being hit, she knew she had it coming after beating up a weak girl.

"Ok, that's enough for now, you can proceed to train on you own, come up with a fighting style unique to you." He said, his eyes shifting to Jia who was seating, polishing her daggers.

"Ok," She looked proud, this was something no one had ever done for her so she was trying her best, its the only way to truly thank him.

Vell picked up a small stone and threw it at Jia, hitting her on the head. "Hm?" She looked up, seeing Vell standing there, telling her to bring it on with a cocky look on his face. Jia smirked as she jumped into her fighting pose.

"Finally, I was beginning to get bored in here. Let's pick up where we left off." She was excited, eager to fight but Vell held up his hand.

"before we start, do you have an extra blade? if not fair to fight someone with dagger barehanded after all."

She looked at him for a while and took an extra dagger from her back, "sure, here. Now let's start." As soon as his hands grabbed the dagger, Jia had already closed the distance, her smile showing how much she enjoyed the challenge. He barely had time to block her swift strike, the clash of metal ringing through the room. He grinned, stepping back to create some space.

"My my, so impatient." His fingers where barely holding the dagger, it looked like it could slip out of his hands at any moment but despite this, Jia did not attack, she was on guard and very cautious. "A real blade," A crazy open smile appeared on his face, he looked like he had finally lost it.

"you are so fucked."
