*Swish*

A tanned-fist swept past Nik's cheek. The dark-haired woman grinned more ferally than beasts could before ducking down and swiping the back of her left leg only for Nik to raise his foot. It was at this time that the blue-eyed girl supported the weight of her entire body on her left palm and propelled her body up with her feet aiming straight towards Nik's face. The opponent's body was both— tough and agile.

”I said meet me after two hours!”

Nik suppressed a chuckle while catching the superkick as Korra named and used her momentum to throw her body in the opposite direction. Finally, Korra, who wore her hair in a medium-length, high ponytail while two sky-blue tubes were used to pull thick locks of hair framing her oval face.

With a childish grin, Korra, a Senior Apprentice Student of the Holy Orchid Institute crossed her arm and mocked the teacher that won the heart of all the senior girls with just a polite smile, ”I can't wait that long, teach! You're the one capable of matching my strength without the use of your martial spirit.

So, I'll force you to use your martial spirit after I learn everything from you!

And bring you face-to-face with a crushing defeat.”

In the senior apprentice classes, there are a few anomalies who easily qualify for the resources of the Genius Classes but still choose not to accept that opportunity.

Korra was the wildest one out of them!

A yellow ring encircled Korra's foot as a phantom of a berserk, white-furred monster erupted above Korra. The phantom soon draped Korra's frame as her build grew larger and thicker, stretching the clothes sewn out of beast hides to the extreme. Her arms bulged, her biceps soon reached the size of a commoner's skull and a pair of tusks formed up form her lower jaw!

”Berserk Arctic Bear... you know this, don't ya, teach?”

Korra eyes Nik. She was already pestering Nik to teach her the full technique since yesterday and was seriously considering joining the snobbish young master in the genius class if it meant to learn the entirety of Nik's basic battle technique.

Much to her surprise, Nik just invited her to learn the technique after two hours of the end of the classes.

Two hours!

She can't wait that long...

She wouldn't wait that long!

So, setting up an ambush, Korra waited until Nik finally checked in with the lesson plan and emerged from his room and walked out of the teacher's block.

Nik, of course, knew about Korra's martial spirit— Berserk Arctic Bear. Korra's palms had mutated into furry-white paws while the edge of her face also grew patches of white fur.

This was Korra's first spirit skill— Arctic Paws. This skill strengthens the body considerably but its main effect was on the soft pads of her paws. Anyone or anything Korra comes into an immediate contact would be frozen solid.

The best use of this skill, however, was the illusion of stagnation her form presents... only that...

*Swish*

Korra's body blurred in an inhumane speed!

More led muscles meant more speed. If anyone thought for a single moment that Korra would have been slowed down, the would be in a world of cold -hard pain. Even if her flexibility was slightly compromised, Korra had enough brains to utilize her current physique to the best of her abilities.

Before Korra's paw could bitch slap Nik, he raised his knee and stopped her forearm from even reaching his face. The simple movement stunned Korra. She couldn't push Nik's knee away as he stood with his hands in his pockets and his usual easygoing smile on his face.

'Shit, he's hot!'

Korra was enlightened in the wrong circumstances as Nik propelled himself with Korra's bulging forearm as the base and his knees as the push to land a kick on Korra's thick neck.

*Thud*

A dull thud rang as Korra's massive frame knelt on the pavement right in front of the teacher's block.

The defeat was obvious and the realization that her reign of terror that suppressed multiple teachers may not extend to Nik made Korra sigh.

'It's punishment time, I guess.'

She shrugged internally as her body reverted while Nik helped her stand. She was a beautiful woman alongside the fact that she was also old enough to decide for herself. Not to mention...

Her body was hot!

Sky-blue vest with white outline stuck to her carefully chiseled body while Korra hung a Kinetic Lion's hide across her thin and tough waist. What's more, Nik enjoyed the feel of her rough palms.

”As I said, I asked you to meet me here an hour later. I haven't even eaten yet.”

Nik chided the lady as Korra dusted off her pants and looked up, ”Wait, you were fighting me empty-stomached all this time?”

Once again, the implications only vouched for her weakness.
