500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 396 Sparring



"My head still hurts from last night, and Mother ripped me a new hole for smelling like swill!" Kia snapped, but that just made Kyra laugh harder.

"I heard you got a double ice bath! Serve you right for opening that second bottle!" Krya laughed, and Kia scowled hard at her.

"You opened that bottle!" She snapped back in frustration as Kyra stopped laughed, and tapped a finger to her lip.

"Did I? Hmm? Well, you did choose to drink it, and I didn\'t give you a good time, right?" Kyra asked playfully, and Kai turned bright red and then turned away with a cough. "That is what I thought! So," Kyra declared and then turned back to me. "Are you ready for this? I know I can\'t beat you, but I hope you can help give me some pointers. I am in charge of training these girls, some in more ways than one, but we can talk about that later."

Kyra gave me a bright smile but fell into a fighting position that I recognized from my many past lives. And this girl was certainly no slouch.

"Let\'s see what you got!" I said with a grin before taking the same stance, and the fight started.

Kyra burst at me with surprising speed, and I had to admit that she was a lot better than most of the fighters I had seen so far. Her movements were smooth and clean, with no wasted motion; even if her strength wasn\'t up to par with Listenia\'s or mine, Kyra was still impressive in her own right.

Her knee flew up at my head, but I blocked it easily and kept spinning to bring her heel down on my head. I was forced back to dodge the heel, but she planted both hands on the ground and then kicked at my face.

No normal person could have dodged it, so I left the kick, hit my face, and even knocked back a bit. Very impressive. Each clash with this woman had been going either way, the entire time, and now the sun was going down. I made sure not to use my godspeed or strength, but I could still dilate time to get a better idea of her movements so I could explain how she could improve.

"You must be Half-Elf, right?" I asked as I wiped some blood from the corner of my mouth, healing the cut as I did. Kyra wasn\'t as tough as Listenia, but she made up for it with her battle sense and speed.

"Yup! I am what they call a Shore Elf! You have a good eye, but it looks like it is getting dark! Supper will be soon, and Mother will get cross if we aren\'t back with you in time. We also need to get cleaned up, or we will get an ear full for that. Mother says that I may be a farm hand and a barbarian, but I still have to act like a lady, blah, blah," Kyra complained, and I laughed.

"Well, if that is all, let\'s go for another couple rounds, and then I will get everyone cleaned up and looking like pretty girls if that is what you all want," I said with a smile, and Kyra\'s eyes lit up.

This girl really looked like she had a fighting spirit, rather than just being strong and knowing it like Listenia. She was more like Elfinia, but then she wasn\'t rude, or acted like she was more than she seemed. Very nice traits in a female, if I do say so myself!

"Really? That would be great! I am sure everyone will love it!" Kyra said with a smile before motioning for me to come at her again. We clashed for another five minutes, me giving her pointers all the while before she finally stopped and bowed.

"This has been a great honor Cat God. I look forward to learning more from you!" Kyra said with a bow before stepping off the ground. The group of us headed back to get everyone cleaned up for supper as we talked about battle till we got back into the barn.

"Okay, grab the rest of the girls that are here, and we will do everyone at once. I am just going to step outside for a moment to do something while you get everyone ready," I explained, and Kia, Kyra, and the other five girls nodded and then went to gather everyone in the barn.

I turned and headed back outside and then blasted into the air without summoning my wings. I was just going to take another good look at the place, but when I got up in the air, I noticed something coming from the south. My Mana Runes told me that there were three of whatever they were, but they looked big. This must be the problem they are having around here, but I was in the middle of something, and the group was still about a mile off.

Switching my focus back, I scanned the grounds of the farm and looked around at the available land outside of what was being used. I didn\'t want to make a tight wall since this place was going to need to grow in the future to be able to feed just Torrain properly, let alone supply my ship, so I looked at how far I could get for them. There was a small river a mile away, so I pushed my mental image to stretch out even past the wide river.
