Silva lunged at her, running at top speed. Elena was unmoved; she didn't do anything until his claws were within range and he attacked. Then she moved, taking a step back, dodging the wreck by an inch.

She thrust her sword, but he dodged with ease, then came in with an attack from above. She dodged it, then grabbed his hands and pulled him in for a headbutt.

BAM!

Their heads slammed against each other, and Silva was knocked back a few steps. He looked up and saw her already attacking again.

She slashed and released a massive wind blade. Silva was forced to dodge to the side; the attack hit the ground and exploded, leaving a deep cut that sealed up a few seconds later.

She continued with a flurry of attacks. Silva managed to block each one, but he was getting pushed back very quickly.

He looked at her, trying to find an opening that would work, and then he found one, a lapse in her attack. He took it instantly and slashed, using Claw Strike.

The attack took her unaware, but she was able to dodge it easily. Then she retreated a few steps and looked at him.

She lifted her sword into the air and then stretched one hand toward him, making a "come here" gesture.

"You want to be strong, right? Let me show you the strength of an S ranked," she said.

Silva smiled and then dashed. He moved as fast as he could, traveling several meters in an instant. He put all his strength into the next attack, but then his senses picked up the danger that was to come.

Her hands moved only slightly, and he had to move, his senses screamed for him to get away. The wind gathered around the sword, swirling like a vortex. She slashed, and the air cracked.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The entire training room shook violently. Silva managed to dodge the attack, but the force from it slammed into him and threw him back, crashing him into the wall.

Ack!

His head bounced back; his eyes were hazy. He looked up, his view blurry, but his senses already picked up what was happening next, she was already attacking.

She thrust with her sword, forming more than twenty wind swords that stabbed at him. He ran as fast as he could and dodged the attacks, moving nimbly.

He could already tell the trajectory of the attacks, so he was able to dodge them easily. Then he suddenly made a turn and ran toward her. She smiled and stretched her sword toward him; the wind gathered around it and began spinning like a vortex.

Then she raised her hands and slashed. The vortex shot out like an arrow headed right for Silva. He leaped into the air to dodge the attack, but it carried an unusual pull force that dragged him and then slammed him right into the ground hard.

Pain shot through his body fast; he bounced hard off the floor, but he didn't stay down. He spun immediately, pushed himself up with a flip, and landed on his feet.

'She is powerful in close range and a monster in long and mid range. She's the definition of a monster. I can tell that she's capable of a lot more. Tsk, so this is the strength of an S ranked. I'm still so far off, but I'm sure I can make up for it.'

Silva thought, then activated the Minotaur's Rage, his strength doubled. Elena raised her brow; she could tell something had changed.

Silva blasted forward. He ran faster than before; his speed shocked her, taking her off guard. He attacked with a punch, and it looked like it would hit, but at the last moment, she used her sword and blocked.

Silva was shocked at her speed. There was no way she moved that fast in an instant; she was definitely doing something else he hadn't paid attention to.

She followed up with a slash, but he parried it and then went for a punch, which she dodged and kneed him right in the gut.

"Your strength increased, what did you do?" she asked.

"Well, you aren't telling me all your secrets, so I won't as well," Silva said before dashing at her again. This time, he moved even faster, leaped into the air, and gave a roundhouse kick.

She pulled her head back and dodged, but the spin continued. He came back with the second leg, and it connected, slamming right into the side of her head.

She skidded to the side but didn't fall; only her head bent slightly. Silva didn't delay and charged at her again, but this time she was ready and made an overhead slash. He dodged to the side as a blast of wind shot out and slammed into the wall.

He looked up, ready to attack again, but she had vanished. Then he sensed her behind him and dodged quickly before her blade came down with a slash, the wind blade left a massive cut in the ground, shaking the entire room.

Silva spun around and came with an upper slash, using Claw Strike at the same time. She blocked all three claw arcs with her sword and was pushed back. She landed a few meters away and dashed forward.

'She's taking this seriously now, I can tell. But she's far more fierce in this state, almost like she wants my head off.'

He blocked her next attack head on, and his hands rang with pain. He ignored it and punched with the second, but she leaned back, pulled her sword back, and at point blank range, blasted him with wind. It threw him back through the air; he slammed into the ground hard and rolled.

He looked up when she was already coming in with a stab for his heart, her eyes looking like that of a devil.

'Oh shit, this is bad.' Silva thought before rolling, the sword dug into the ground.
