Chapter 69: The Duel
Hao's heart has been pounding since last night. He was restless and excited, as a result of which the bed he slept in was a mess with loose sheets. Hao could not sleep.
Rina, the woman of his tribe, must have been created just for herself. Hao could not forget the black eyes of the woman that shone when fighting. His short hair was fluttering beautifully whenever he moved nimbly.
So, if Hao had not been able to make Rina a wife or lover, he had other options.
"You want to practice a match with me?" Ava looked in wonder. Early in the morning, Hao was already bothering him, but the man's invitation this time was not bad either.
Every time she fights, Ava must always be careful not to fall. Having speed, strength, as well as agility that increased with just the addition of points was indeed advantageous, but he still had not adapted properly to the changes that were in his body. In that case, with the duel promoted by Hao, Ava can also train to adapt to her superhuman advantages.
"All right, come on." Hao almost cheered when his invitation was approved. But his happiness did not last long.
"Oh, I also want to fight you," River first took the queue.
Hao and Rina should be alone! "Hey! Uh-u"
"After that, you will fight me," this time Dom claims the order.
The opportunity to duel should not be wasted by a fighter, because that is when they can develop. Defeat and victory will bring them one step closer to becoming stronger.
On the other hand, Dom has been itching to beat the woman since the incident with banderhobbs a few days ago, but they are still on board, there is no suitable place to realize his wishes. So if only Hao hadn't invited Rina to fight first, Dom would have done it already.
Ava frowned, not liking. Fighting with people in this fantasy world is indeed a good opportunity, but facing three people in a row will certainly drain his stamina. The increased status points were inversely proportional to Ava's energy, perhaps as compensation so that she was now easily tired. "No, no, no! One heart one fight. So, I'm going to fight River tomorrow, while Dom is the day after tomorrow. You can fight each other today if you get bored."
Hao deftly chimed in, "Good idea. Today Rina will be alone with me!" Ava squinted suspiciously at the selection of the strange word Hao.

Famous as a free city that became a gathering place for fighters, Oranera provides facilities in the form of an arena that can be rented for several hours. Since this was Hao's chance to make a good impression, it was the man who paid.
Taking the dull wooden dagger from the provided shelf, Ava grasped a pair of knives in both hands. This session was only considered a match practice, so they did not need to use real weapons. Good news, because Ava also did not want to face the Hao skill that can split trees with just one swing of the sword.
Speaking of which, Hao did not apply any rules.
That is, in addition to using wooden weapons, Ava can use anything, right?
