The Devil WithInn 170 Rhys Vs Inna 1

Rhys released Inna from his grasp as he stood across her.

"C' mon, little idiot, it's just a little spar. Besides, it's been a while since I had someone to fight with."

He whispered as she softly patted Inna's head. But then, a sad smile escaped from his usual expression and when he realized it, he hid it immediately by looking away.

Then, after he composed himself, he went to his position across Inna.

"We won't be using any weapons since we're just having a friendly match. And since Onion and the rest want to see my tutor's fighting prowess, I'll let her have the first hit."

Listening to him, Inna knew that she has no more chances of escaping so she just sighed in defeat.

Okay, let's get this over with.

She stared at him from head to toe, trying to a.s.sess his capabilities.

Raghnall did say that she could decapitate people if she used her strength so she's not entirely sure how much she should adjust to avoid that happening with him.

After all, he might be annoying as h.e.l.l but she's not that cold-hearted to actually kill him because of it.

Judging from his physique, he's not that muscular if she compared it to the burly and macho guys that were by the sidelines. He was more on the lean and toned side rather than the overly muscular side.

And now that she looked at him closely, his height was considerably smaller compared to Orion and his men. In fact, he looked to be only taller than her by half a foot, unlike Orion who easily towered over her with about a foot higher.

With that realization, she figured that he must be considerably weaker in structure. Since not much 'meat' is protecting his bones, Inna knew that she should be careful.

After fully a.s.sessing him, Inna decided to just rely on her body's strength and speed. Using her 'other' state might end up blasting the guy in pieces and she's not willing to take any chances.

So, with those in mind, she held up her hands like a boxer and ran towards Rhys. And when she was in a considerable distance, she immediately launched her fist to his face.

Rhys, although a bit startled, was able to dodge her attack and he sidestepped her other attack while trying hard to see the pattern of her movements.

But he could only grit his teeth in frustration when he realized that the idiot was attacking him with random moves.

First, she punched. Then kicked. Then she opened her palm and tried slapping. Then she began using her elbow. Then she tried going for a headb.u.t.t.

To Rhys who kept dodging, it just looked like she had no plan whatsoever and was just blindly attacking in hopes that one of her attacks would hit him somehow. Although the speed and the force she put in her attacks were quite frightening, her techniques are just… sad.

Will she do better if she had a weapon on hand?

He couldn't help but wonder as he dodged her blind attacks incessantly.

When Inna saw Rhys was successfully dodging all her attacks, she knew that she had to take it up a notch.

Actually, a part of her wants to just have a straight punch through his face.

But then the rational side of her took pity on the guy because of his beautiful face so she was truly conflicted.

But when she saw his eyes starting to daydream and his mouth starting to frown, the violent side of her won.

She leaped back as she tried to rea.s.sess Rhys and to rethink her strategy.

As much as she wanted to land a punch on his face, he's undeniably quick to dodge.

Back then she didn't have a plan because truthfully, her expectations were kinda low because of how Rhys looked like.

But just as Orion had said, one can never judge a sword's sharpness by its s.h.i.+ne.

And they were in the Combat Department for G.o.d's sake!

Surely he's a genius along with the others as well!

Inna sighed as she just realized her mishap.

Hearing her sigh, Rhys thought that Inna was tired from attacking him. So, with a smile, he figured that it should be his turn now.

"I'll be starting now, Ms. Nana."

He said with a smile as he dashed to her side. Before Inna can react, he was already behind her and out of the corner of her eye, she saw his hand that was outstretched and flat, ready to strike. It eerily looked like a sharp blade by how quick he moved his hand and Inna couldn't hide the panic in her face as she saw it slowly approaching the side of her neck.

Using all she got, Inna twisted her body to avoid the slash from Rhys's hand just as it was about to graze her neck. Then, she leaped back again as she clutched her neck in shock.

Holy f.u.c.k.

Holy motherf.u.c.king f.u.c.k.

Okay, so he can literally move at the speed of light and here she was thinking that she can land a blow at him half-heartedly.

Trying to reign in the shock and fear she felt, she clenched her trembling hands into fists.

Just a friendly fight.

It's just a friendly fight.

Inna repeated the words in her head as she went into her fighting stance.

He didn't strike her with the thought of injuring her, right?

She didn't want to address that though so she just willed herself to be more serious.

She might not have learned much from Solomon when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, but she learned a thing or two from the teachings of the guards from the Sun Breeze Mansion as well as some of the wrestling moves she learned from watching television.

So recalling what they taught her, along with Raghnall's teachings on how to detect fast enemies without relying on her eyesight, Inna relaxed and slowly closed her eyes.

And while doing so, she could hear the gasps of shock that emanated from Orion and the guys by the sidelines as they tried to make sense of what Inna was doing.
