By the time Jake finally decided to call it a day, the sun had already begun its descent toward the horizon.
What was supposed to be a simple sparring session had somehow turned into an entire afternoon of fighting.
And Jake was starting to regret his decision.
"Haah… Haah…"
He leaned against the wall of the training hall, breathing heavily as he tried to calm his racing heart.
His entire body ached, and his arms felt as though they might fall off at any moment.
Across from him, Samu'dra looked considerably more energetic despite also breathing roughly.
Although her scales were covered in sweat, the giant Naga still had a satisfied smile on her face.
She looked as though she could easily continue fighting for another few hours.
"Jake... That was amazing!"
Jake turned his head toward her with a complicated expression.
'Amazing, my ass…'
He had initially thought that sparring with Samu'dra would be a good opportunity to help her become more familiar with him.
