Chapter 62
“Hmph. Let’s go upstairs. You’ll serve your punishment before the training.” Mel said before taking the lead in climbing the stairs. She could only sigh and climb after him.
When they got to the secluded training room, Mel told her to do a headstand for 30 minutes. If she fell 3 times, she would have to roll from one end of the hall to the other.
“This…”
“Get to work or I’ll double your punishment!” Mel barked.
“Yes, Yes!”
Lavana had never done a headstand before, so she fell over three times. She had to roll from end to end of the room until the 30 minutes were completed. Then Mel rose up from the chair he was earlier seated on. Then she clapped once and ordered the exhausted Lavana to stand up or she’d get to roll from end to end for another half hour. This gave her the motivation to stand up.
“Alright. You’ve served your punishment. Now it’s time for training. I’ll need you to fight my wolf in human form.”
“Eh?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t injure you but you must trick me and make me fall to the ground. If you can’t do that… you don’t want to know the consequences.”
“I…”
“You are an Omega, yes, but your wolf is special. It’s bigger than most wolves, so you are stronger than a normal Omega should be. But it’s not every time you’d be chanced to transform and fight. So you need some fighting skills in human form so you can protect yourself or at least stall for time.”
Lavana nodded.
“I’m ready,” she said.
“No, you aren’t. Do some stretches and make your body feel relief. I’ll play some music. It’s good you dance too coz the battle ahead is going to push you to your limits.” he said. He started playing loud music from a Bluetooth speaker he’d earlier hidden among the training equipment.
“Dance! Don’t worry, I won’t laugh. Besides, I’ve got to use the bathroom. Excuse me, Lava.” he walked out of the training room but left the door open. Lavana didn’t think anything of it and started dancing slowly to the music.
5 minutes later, Mel had still not come but she continued dancing. If he found her just standing there and doing nothing, she might get punished again. Though this time her movements were not as fast as before. She wanted to conserve some strength for the battle ahead. If she expended it all in doing this rubbish of a dance she was performing now before the battle even starts, she’d just collapse in exhaustion.
A minute later, she heard a sound that differed from the beats of the music. Her movements did not become slower than it already was but now her ears were on alert. She no longer heard the unfamiliar sound but knew it still wasn’t time to relax yet.
Suddenly, she felt something touch her leg. She turned around and saw a huge red wolf with a white tail. It was very fine but there was no time to appreciate its beauty, for the next thing it did was growl and head for her.
“Ahhh!” she screamed and started running.
She knew this must be Mel, for he mentioned she would be fighting his wolf form in her frail human form. That means the sound she heard earlier was of bones reforming.
How did he get to her without her knowledge when she was alert? Those questions she could ask him later, what was important now was performing her task. She couldn’t just run around. She had to think of a way to fall him to the ground. She couldn’t use any of her powers to startle him. Her identity must remain secret. What other way was there? There was no banana peel to place on the ground and even if there was, how could she be sure that the wolf here will really step on it and fall?
The only way was to meet him head-on. Instead of running, she suddenly stopped and looked at the wolf that had also stopped. She gave it a stink eye but the wolf only growled and pounced at her.
“Worst case, I’ll get broken bones and combine the healing speed of my trio forms. It’ll heal up super fast, I hope.” she thought before jumping at the wolf. When they met, she held the hands of the wolf but it freed himself and wanted to pounce on her again.
“Wait! Your shoes’ untied!” she herself couldn’t believe she just said that. Even in fantasy land, how can a wolf wearing shoes be found? Even if she wanted to stall for time, this was super lame!
In any other situation, she could have facepalmed, but there was no chance to do so.
She headed for the wolf again, this time engaging in a serious battle. She fought as if it were her last. The injuries she received did not deter her from fighting. Soon she found herself seated on the wolf’s back and pulling its ears. It turned its head at her, about biting her, so she quickly held the mouth but it was hard keeping it shut considering that her hands were really tired.
In no time, she stopped holding the mouth and it bit her hand, although not deep. But this made her pissed. Her eyes changed color and so did her aura.
“You’re finished!” with that, she began raining a series of fast and painful blows to the wolf’s face and head. Even the neck was not spared. She soon got off and signalled the wolf to come at her. As it did, she jumped at it. When they collided, both fell to the ground. The wolf fall on its back while Lavana was seated on his stomach. She used both hands to start choking the wolf that was beginning to struggle. Soon she heard cracking sounds and got off. Mel had returned to human form and was grunting in pain.
“Gosh! Lavana, can you not have a little mercy? The last time I checked, I didn’t say this was a fight to the death. And your blows are so painful.” Mel protested.
At this point, Lavana’s eyes had returned to normal.
“The enemy wouldn’t be merciful to me, would he?” she asked him with folded hands.
“Yeah. You’re right. And why did you say my shoe’s untied? You seriously couldn’t come up with anything other than that?” he asked as he rose from the floor.
Lavana’s face flushed with embarrassment. Her mouth had brought this mockery to her.
“Can we not talk about that? And I won, didn’t I?”
“You did. I will get you a reward when we meet again.”
“Eh? Is the training done?” she asked in confusion.
“You are a special wolf. Your punches are on par with a Beta wolf,” he explained before walking away with one hand on his waist and the other touching his neck.
“Sorry I beat you up that bad.” she couldn’t help but apologize.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“It’s just a scratch. I’ve eaten pain worse than this. But know you are a good seedling. And get yourself treated. I also injured you.”
“I will.”
After this, his figure was no more to be seen.
Lavana then sat on the chair that Mel once sat on. She began to ponder on what he said. Her punches are on par with a Beta wolf?
