The following morning Alex woke up feeling refreshed, thanks to the wonderful night his partner gave him. Alex kissed Luna on the head and tried to leave to see that Luna wouldn't let him go. Before he could go, there was something she wished him to do.
''I want my breakfast, I'm too tired, bring my breakfast.''
Alex chuckled before going into the kitchen to prepare the breakfast not only for Luna but also for the others.
After Luna finished eating, she smiled like an angel.
''Lex, let's go spar a bit. I'm overflowing with energy.'' She declared; Alex almost shouted, saying weren't saying a moment ago that you were tired? However, he knew better than anybody that he mustn't say that. He could only nod.
Blue Haven Manor, underground training.
Currently, a lot of people came to watch the fight, not the sparring. Maria, Artemia, Sera, Pandora (former Meera), Alice, Sakuya, Gracier, and Kuina.

Luna couldn't help but get shocked when she saw Alex's status. He had become quite the monster; compared to him; her measly Rank 11 is nothing.
''Don't worry, I'll suppress my power at your level.''
Alex said he could guess what Luna was thinking; he let her see his status without hiding anything; this gesture would tell her that he trusted her to let her see his status. Her progress wasn't bad; she just recently became Rank 11, same with Maria.
''Let's us begin,'' Alex suggested as he could feel the hot stare he was receiving from the other girls; they too probably went to spar with him, not that he minds, the more people, the merrier it would become.
''Instant Strengthening.''
Then Luna rushed toward Alex at full speed, wind stirring behind her before she crashed into him, but he calmly avoided her with another twirl before kicking her in the side. At the last moment, Luna dodged and put some distance between them. She knew it would not be easy; she knew he had suppressed his power to her level; even so, in their first clash, she lost.
Some might say, keep going on; it is just the start. Still, Luna knew that she was not his match. They might be at the same ran,k but the amount of experience they had wasn't the same; their stats weren't the same, to begin with.
Even so, she would learn from this sparring; she had asked for sparring not because she thought she could win but simply to see how strong she had become, and most importantly, to show him that she was slowly catching up.
Taking a deep breath, Luna muttered again.
''Instant Strengthening.''
Alex was shocked; Luna's speed increased drastically, and he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
Alex calmly deflected every punch thrown at him; he never thought that Luna could overlap this skill. However, just as he thought he had seen everything, Luna shocked him once again.
''Instant strengthening.''
Alex was flung into the sky; his chest hurts, he couldn't believe what happened, Luna didn't give him any time. She clenched her fist and punched the air; a giant fist made of water appeared and tried to slam Alex flying. Everything happened too fast. However, Alex still smiled.
Just as the water punch was about to land, his figure vanished and got replaced by Luna, who was about to take the blow in his stead.
The moment Alex switched place with Luna and she was about to get punched, Alex discovered to his astonishment that he couldn't move; it was then he knew he had fallen into Luna's trap. She knew about his shadow shift and had prepared a countermeasure.
That water punch that should have slammed Luna flying after the shadow shift switched trajectory and struck Alex instead.
Luna, who succeeded in trapping Alex, wasn't feeling happy at the moment as a chill ran down her spine; she immediately formed a shield behind her; however, instead of appearing behind her, Alex soaked in water appeared before her.
''It's too cliché, so I chose to knock on the front door.''
Alex punched her in the stomach, the punch sliced through the air and connected to her stomach, all air escaped from her lungs, she felt momentarily dizzy, which was a fatal mistake. Alex pummeled her toward the ground.
There was an explosion, and clouds rose to the sky. Luna coughed blood, Alex who was descending, couldn't help but frown when he saw a radiant light surround Luna's body.
''Holy Magic Art 4th Tier: Radiant Blessing.'' Luna chanted, and all her injuries were healed; she was back as new.
''Isn't it this cheating?" Alex couldn't help but voice his dissatisfaction; he was not the only one; Maria had a headache fighting Luna, who was like a cockroach. Sera nodded, thinking that Luna was becoming more and more like that paladin.
''Shall we begin round two?" Luna asked with a smile.
