24 Growing Close (1/2)
From behind the door, Magna flinched as he started to panic. He quickly came out from behind the door and loudly said, ”I didn't mean to peak! I just... I heard some noise coming from down the hallway and got curious.”
”Hmmm… then, why didn't you come out from the beginning? It's been a couple minutes since I noticed you at the door, you know?”
Winter's question caused a deep blush to explode on Magna's face. He couldn't tell her that he fell into a daze because of her beautiful behind, could he?
Luckily, Winter didn't make things too difficult for Magna as she lightly giggled and said, ”Don't worry, I'm only messing with you. That's for calling me heavy.”
Magna blush depended as he awkwardly laughed along. He knew that talking about a lady's weight was a huge taboo and that he was lucky to have only suffered a single slap.
Taking a couple seconds to wipe off the sweat on her face, Winter turned towards Magna with a light smile on her face.
”I'm going to continue my training. Would you… like to join me, Magna? I could help fill in some of your more obvious flaws during combat.”
Winter's words stunned Magna for a couple seconds before his eyes started to s.h.i.+ne in excitement. He hurriedly nodded head as he smiled and said, ”Please take care of me!”
As Magna was happily hopping around, he missed the slight blush that appeared on Winter's face.

After Magna calmed down and Winter took a small break, Magna was still excited but managed to keep it inside. Winter was standing a couple meters in front of him.
Her face was much more concentrated than when they were testing him as she stood in a different stance. She was positioned like a veteran fencer and gave off a n.o.ble vibe.
Suddenly, a frown appeared on Winter's face as she said, ”What are you waiting for? Get into a fighting stance!”
An awkward cough escaped Magna's lips as he plainly said, ”Winter, I don't have a set fighting stance. I was never trained in close-combat.”

Shaking her head, Winter displayed an air similar to Ironwood as she stated, ”That's what we're here to learn, Magna. Our training will be full-on combat. The purpose? To refine your battle instinct.”
Once her words settled in, a chilling smile appeared on her face as she loudly ordered, ”NOW GET INTO A FIGHTING STANCE!!!”
Almost instinctively, Magna flinched before quickly getting into a fighting position that his body felt comfortable with.
Winter almost burst into laughter seeing his stance. Magna looked like nothing more than a teenage punk that liked to hang around at clubs and bars. However, she didn't let it show on her face as her frown from before reappeared.
She gave Magna no time to think as she plainly stated one word, ”Come.”
Magna hesitated before shooting off towards Winter. He obviously didn't use his aura as he thought it to be overkill during training. However, Winter thought otherwise.
As soon as Magna was close enough to her, Winter tripped him up before grabbing him in a choke hold. She harshly glared at him and yelled, ”ARE YOU LOOKING DOWN ON ME!?! I SAID THIS IS FULL-ON COMBAT! THAT MEANS TO FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT! NOT HOLD BACK!”
Magna clawed at her hands as he struggled to squeeze out the words, ”I thought… this was just… training?”
Her glare intensified as she angrily said, ”It's not training if you don't give it everything you've got. Now stop holding back, and fight me at full strength!”
Her words seemed to resonate with something deep inside Magna as he burst into an inferno of aura. The crimson red demon fox cloak engulfed his body in all its glory.
Suddenly, Winter wore a wild smile as she summoned 5 huge glyphs on the floor. The glyphs glowed a bright white and slowly spun around. Then, particles of light quickly gathered above the glyph, forming 5 white and blue Ursa's.
Seeing 5 new opponents appearing out of nowhere, Magna was shocked for a couple seconds before quickly calming himself down.
