I stayed on both of my knees on the hard gray stone floor of the basement arena. My hands were resting on the solid ground, and my head was tilted down toward the flat stone blocks beneath my body. I looked closely at the surface of the floor, watching the small bits of dust and the old scratches that were marked on the dark stones from many past practices. The gray blocks were cold against my skin, but my body felt completely hot and exhausted from the hard match. I could see my own sweat dropping onto the ground, creating small dark spots on the dry surface of the stone blocks one by one. The basement room was completely quiet around us, and I felt like I could not move my muscles even a tiny bit because I had used all my physical energy during the long fight with the current hero. But as I kept my eyes fixed on the flat stones, a new feeling started to grow deep inside my chest. I did not want to remain defeated on the floor of the room. My determination increased as I looked at the floor, growing stronger with every single second that passed by in the silence. I felt a powerful drive returning to my mind, telling me that I must continue to fight and improve my skills on the stones. My determination increased as I looked at the floor, filling my whole heart with a big desire to stand back up on my feet and face my opponent once again. The thoughts of giving up completely went away from my mind as I stared at the gray blocks. My determination increased as I looked at the floor, making me feel completely ready to try one more time.
Chalreth stood a few paces away from my position in the middle of the wide training room. She saw that I was down on both of my knees on the ground, and she thought that our practice match was completely finished for the morning. She held her metal weapon lightly by her side, letting her arms relax as she looked down at my frame on the floor. She took a deep breath of the cool basement air and prepared to speak her final words to end the training session. Her face was calm, and she began to open her mouth to make her announcement across the empty space of the room. As Chalreth was about to say that she has won, she shifted her weight onto her back foot and lifted her chin up slightly. She was completely ready to say the words to declare her victory after the long and difficult battle we had just shared on the flat stones. She was about to say that she has won, inhaling a small amount of air into her chest to deliver her speech to me. She truly believed that I could not lift my body up from the ground anymore because I had dropped my sword onto the gray stones. She stood there in her relaxed stance, and as Chalreth was about to say that she has won, she watched my head stay down toward the floor blocks. She was just about to open her lips and let the words out into the quiet air of the arena, confident that the match was completely over right now today.
Before she could let a single word come out of her mouth, I made a sudden physical move on the floor. I extended my right arm quickly across the rough stone blocks toward the spot where my metal weapon was resting. My fingers touched the cold surface of the steel, and I grabbed my sword with a very tight and secure grip. I wrapped my hand firmly around the handle, feeling the solid weight of the weapon return to my control right away. I did not hesitate for a single moment after taking hold of the blade. I pushed my hands hard against the flat stone floor and stood up right away in the middle of the wide arena. I lifted my whole body up from my knees, moving my legs with a lot of purpose until I was standing completely straight on my feet once again. My boots made a sharp clicking sound as they pressed firmly onto the gray blocks of the floor. I raised my head up from the ground and looked directly across the short distance at Chalreth, who was still standing there with her mouth slightly open. She was completely surprised to see me grab my weapon and rise up so fast after being completely exhausted on the stones. I held my sword out in front of my chest with both of my hands, showing her that I was ready to continue the match. I stood up straight, balancing my weight perfectly on both of my boots, ready to move my body across the room.
As I stood firmly on my feet, a massive change happened inside my physical body. All of the heavy tiredness that had been making my muscles burn completely disappeared in a single instant. My lost energy came back into my frame with incredible force, filling every single part of my body with a new wave of immense power. It felt like a giant wave of strength was rushing through my arms and my legs all at once. My lost energy came back as my body enhanced state activated right then and there without any delay. The special body enhanced state activated inside me, making my physical frame feel completely light, fast, and incredibly strong on the stones. I did not feel any pain or exhaustion anymore because the body enhanced state activated to its absolute limit, giving me all the physical power I needed to fight again. The lost energy came back as my body enhanced state activated, causing the trembling in my hands to stop completely and making my grip on the handle of my sword tighter than it had ever been before. I could feel the immense physical energy flowing continuously through my muscles, preparing my body to move at a level of speed that was much faster than before. I stood in my place, feeling the full power of the body enhanced state activated inside my chest, ready to launch a sudden attack against her defense.
I did not wait for her to recover from her surprise or finish her speech. I dashed forward across the flat stone floor with a tremendous burst of speed that was completely unexpected. My boots pushed off the gray blocks with so much physical force that I moved like a flash of light across the wide room. I dashed forward, covering the entire distance between our positions in a tiny fraction of a single second, appearing directly in front of her body before she could even blink her eyes. I lifted my metal sword high into the air and swung it down toward her side with all the immense strength of my new state. The power of my downward swing was incredible, cutting through the cool air of the basement with a loud sound. Chalreth's eyes went completely wide with shock when she saw me arrive so fast in front of her face. She had to react with her absolute highest speed to save herself from my powerful blade. She raised her own metal weapon in a great hurry, and she barely blocked it in the middle of the air. The sharp edge of my sword struck her blade with a heavy force, and she barely blocked it because my movement was so incredibly fast and sudden. She had to use both of her hands to support her weapon, and her boots slid back across the flat stone floor for two steps as she struggled to keep her balance against my strike.
We did not stop after that first heavy blow on the stone floor. We kept clashing so fast that the movements of our bodies became completely invisible in the middle of the wide arena. Our metal swords hit each other over and over again with an incredible level of speed that filled the entire basement room. We kept clashing so fast that it creates sonic booms with each clash, making a series of massive explosive noises that shook the entire structure of the building. Every single time our metal blades met in the air, a loud sonic boom would blast out into the room, creating powerful waves of air that pushed against the high stone walls. We kept clashing so fast that it creates sonic booms with each clash, the loud cracks sounding like thunder inside the basement. The sonic booms with each clash made the torches on the walls flicker wildly as we moved across the floor. We kept clashing so fast that it creates sonic booms with each clash, moving our weapons in a continuous circle of high speed training combat.
