Seojun stood at the edge of the training field, arms crossed, his eyes calmly observing the spar. The heavy air of the Ethereal Grounds didn't seem to bother him at all. The others stayed silent, watching with focus. Hannah stood on one side of the field, her insect-like wings slightly open behind her back. Yoora, already in her stance, looked calm and confident.
Since Hannah's second awakening, her body had clearly changed. Her speed was faster, her movements sharper, and she didn't get tired as easily. Although she still wasn't used to fighting seriously, everyone could tell—Hannah was no longer weak. She could now match Yoora's physical strength, at least in short bursts.
Still, Hannah seemed nervous.
"Uhm… please be gentle on me, Yoora," Hannah said with a small voice, brushing her hair behind her ear.
Yoora chuckled softly and cracked her knuckles. "Hannah, you're not weak anymore."
Hannah gave a faint smile. "Well then… no hard feelings?"
