Today's training session was just about the guild members' training on their own, whatever they needed to improve upon, so that they were prepared for tomorrow's tournament.

Nova and Marcus were in the gym, while Adam and Elesch were sparring together, as Trevor and James fought each other, James not holding a cent back against Trevor, who was already wobbling.

Zane and Michael were helping each other with training, as Emma, Col, and Galileo saw them and took notes on what to do and what not to do. Everyone was doing something, rather than anything, since usually you would want to practice as much as possible before the "big event."

Marcus was helping Nova in the gym, training both cardio and physical endurance, and improving strength. Nova started doing about two pushups per second, slowly evolving into about twenty a second, leaving everyone speechless, as Marcus just smirked at him, proud like a father.

In fact, he looked towards Nova like a father would, if his kid achieved something, anything, and was happy about it, and celebrated it with his child.

Nova was sweating a lot, but he kept pushing through, going towards fifty a second, then to fifty-five, and was slowly reaching a current maximum of fifty-seven a second, for about an entire minute and thirty seconds. He fell to the ground, as his mind started to spin and darkness crept in. After another minute of lying there, he woke up to everyone in the gym surrounding him, startled by him.

Then he got up, and Marcus took him outside, so that they could practice cardio by fighting at Nova's current full speed. Nova lunged towards Marcus, who sidestepped, then, using his left hand, threw a hook, which Nova dodged at the last second.

Using his knees as a spring, he leapt upwards towards Marcus's chin for an uppercut, which Marcus flawlessly blocked in a manner so polite, yet so cold. Nova pushed further with his legs, but Marcus kicked them off, then flung him into a suplex.

Adam and Elesch kept fighting on, not letting the other gain any sort of advantage. Adam kept pushing with his strength, as Elesch kept him at bay with her speed. They both laughed and smiled until claws and rapier met, and they were just a couple of breaths away.

They both gulped as they looked at each other in the eye, the intimacy sparking the positive tension between them. Then, they both looked at the lips, then back at each other's eyes. They were very aroused and were slowly moving closer and closer to each other's lips.

They both didn't know how to kiss, so they were nervous at first, but realizing the other also didn't know, they both internally laughed, with a faint smile appearing at the edges of both their lips.

They fully leapt in, closing their eyes, until their lips submerged into a kiss, the perfect kiss of not knowing how to kiss. They held each other closer, their bodies practically one, as Elesch got rougher, which Adam followed up with.

They kissed more intensely, tongue involved and everything. After what felt like a never-ending kiss, they finally pulled apart, their foreheads touching, as Elesch carved for more. Adam simply smiled at her, closing his eyes, his hands on his waist, her hands on the top of his neck; then, they fully submerged into the intimate moment, ignoring everything else in the world.

On the other hand, James Mahe was being brutally disgusting with Trevor. It was supposed to be a light spar, but it turned into an absolutely chaotic randomness of events that didn't even make sense.

Trevor was begging for his life, his vision blurring, his heart rate dropping, blood profusely pouring from every single body part, his skin peeling off, and his consciousness barely intact.

James, on the other hand, was angry and vented his frustration by putting Trevor in a near-death experience, which soon would become a death experience. James simply shouted as Trevor started to fade from reality altogether, but James noticed this and fed him a green mana crystal, which was able to repair Trevor, while giving him some extra strength.

Trevor got up, but as soon as he did, James had "stored" up his momentum earlier and lunged towards Trevor, stopping just inches away from his face, which would have resulted in his dying, while destroying everything in a fifty-mile radius behind him.

Trevor just gulped, doing everything in his power not to upset James.

Nova lunged back at Marcus, using his martial arts and the moves that Marcus had demonstrated, to throw a barrage of kicks, elbows, and punches. Feigning every single one of them to keep Marcus from guessing. But Marcus, being as intelligent as he always was, saw through everything and instantly stopped Nova's push by pushing him with just his palm.

Nova skidded back but got up instantly, smirking at Marcus. Then he said, "I'm still so weak. I don't feel that different from when I was D-rank."

"Well," Marcus started, his voice sharp and firm. "You need to keep practicing until you're accustomed to your B-rank power. That means meditation and tapping into your Ability Chamber."

"Oh, wait," Nova then remembered something after Marcus had mentioned the Ability Chamber. "I have a question: Do people outside the guild, who are just normal Adventurers, not know what the Ability Chamber is?"

"Not everyone in the guild even knows about the Ability Chamber. The chamber is considered a high-level structure in a person's consciousness. No, everyone has access to it, though you three were able to get in, which is quite surprising, and that too on the first try."

"Interesting," Nova was baffled at this fact, but excited as well. "I think I'm going to meditate now. I need to improve my B-rank status as soon as possible, so I'm going to go back to my apartment and meditate."

"Okay then, I'll head back to the guild. I have a couple of papers to sort out. So, I'll see you tomorrow."

They both nodded as they ran towards their destinations, reaching them in just mere seconds, focusing on what they needed to accomplish.
