Chapter 17: 17. Sparring

"She died," Silvana stared at the body of a woman who was now being carried by several people for burial.

"Do you know her?" asked Kieran.

The corpse was a woman that Kieran found while approaching the source of the explosion a moment ago. Kieran, who had saved the child, saw her already dead when he returned after getting the child from the hands of the black clothed man.

Kieran told this to Silvana. Silvana immediately called the burial company, so that the woman's body could be properly rested. Not only that, she also paid for the funeral.

"Yeah, she helped me when I first moved to this place. I also often give her food. She's one of the neighbors I know quite well," explained Silvana.

Mio brought the child I saved, a girl with short hair and a slightly thin body, approached the two of us.

"What should we do with this child? He's only 7 years old, he can't live alone," I asked. My purpose was obviously to ask if Silvana wanted to do something for this child or not. Kieran himself had no intention of adopting or bringing this child, he wasn't sure if his life would be full of peace, or even filled with danger.

"Kieran, couldn't we adopt him?" Mio asked in a pleading tone.

"No," Kieran said firmly.

"Please!" said Mio while wagging her tail up and sideways excitedly, not forgetting her smile and round eyes as if tempting Kieran to grant her wish.

"Mio, for this one there is no compromise, we really can't do it," Kieran shook his head and once again confirmed his decision. Mio could only sigh in resignation.

"Then let me take care of it for a while, I think she can help me clean my house and prepare food for me, you know living alone is very bleak," said Silvana. She didn't say she would help or adopt the child, instead she said let the child work, of course that was just an excuse, but actually this answer concealed Silvana's kindness and also lessened the burden on the child later on.

"By the way, what's your name little girl?" Kieran crouched down and asked the girl.

The girl hesitantly replied, "Jessica, my name is Jessica."

"Then Jessica, come with me to the house first, you haven't showered yet, have you? Have you eaten, hm? Keiran, Mio, please continue your guard." Silvana said this while walking to take Jessica into her house.

Without many words, Mio and Kieran returned to their mission. Fortunately, this time everything went smoothly. Within a few hours the security around Silvana's house was still well maintained, so Kieran and Mio felt relieved. Silvana once again provided dinner and also some snacks for the two of them. Kieran felt grateful that the mission sender was a good person like Silvana, if the mission sender was stingy, he didn't know if he would stand it.

Just like the night before, except for the explosion incident, Silvana's house in the following hours until the morning was very safe, so Kieran and Mio felt relieved. The mission difficulty was easier than expected. After morning, Kieran left Silvana's house and took Mio, who was back asleep to the hotel room he had rented. That way the second day's mission went smoothly.

"Could you move your hands?" Enza looked at Kieran with a curious look.

Kieran nodded slowly. In both hands there were gloves that was useful as ballast. Despite the difficulty, but Kieran was still able to move his hands with extra effort.

"That's fine then." Enza raised his hand then called out to a trainee who was also in room 7.

"Kyle, come here!"

The man called Kyle approached Enza and Kieran. He had an above average height with a physically strong look. Kyle asked, "What's up instructor?"

"You try to fight Kieran, remember only use your physical abilities."

Kyle nodded, he then put on a fighting pose while facing Kieran. Kieran also immediately got ready.

"Okay, you can start now," said Enza who had retreated a few meters.

Kyle immediately swung his right hand with great momentum. In response, Kieran raised his hand trying to block Kyle's punch. As Kyle's fist hit Kieran's hand, he felt pain spread throughout his hand. But Kieran didn't have time to lament the pain as Kyle continued to attack.

Legs raised and swinging rapidly, Kieran once again blocked Kyle's kick. But his body could not withstand the impact, so his standing position shifted a few inches. Kyle tugged at his leg and launched a series of punches. Kieran couldn't do anything other than defend, the weight on his arms made Kieran's hand movements slower, so Kieran failed to block Kyle's final blow.

He felt his head a little dizzy, his cheek were also very hot. Kieran stepped back a few times. He shook his head and increased his focus. Kyle attacked again, this time he lunged at Kieran with both feet forward. Kieran crossed his arms, but his body was still pushed back.

"I have to counterattack." Kieran knew it was very difficult to win this fight, so he at least needed to put up a fight. When Kyle was about to hit Kieran, Kieran bent down and swung his legs over Kyle's legs. Kyle fell, Kieran took the moment to kick Kyle in the stomach.

Kyle was pushed back, Kieran then used this opportunity to jump on top of Kyle and aimed his fist at Kyle's face however, Kyle lifted his leg and kicked Kieran away, with one jump he managed to get up. After that, Kyle punched Kieran in succession. Kieran couldn't stop it, Kyle then ended the second fight by twisting his body and kicking Kieran with a strong kick.

Kieran was pushed away and hit the wall. He let his hands go weak, Kieran forced his hands to move several times, so he couldn't lift his hands anymore at this point. Kieran was not disappointed by his defeat he knew that he was still a rookie. Kyle walked towards Kieran and stretched out his hand, Kieran grabbed Kyle's hand and stood up with Kyle's help.

"Thank you."

Kyle nodded, "You're welcome. You're good enough considering it's your first time fighting with a weight in your hands."

Enza approached Kieran, he then said, "Rest for a while, for the next session you can get back to training your legs."

Kieran nodded, although it was difficult, Kieran was sure that this training was beneficial for him, especially now that he couldn't improve his skills nor did he have any effective meditation techniques. Kieran suddenly wondered, did Mio also train well to master her powers? After all, once Mio went berserk then the consequences were huge.
