Of course, there was promise of cold drinks after training, so she had something to work toward... Her first few kicks were firm, well trained and not lacking in the slightest compared to the years back when he first tested her. Whether it was by running or maybe some training she did in private, her kicks were becoming much more potent than ever. He was about to worry if her kicks were all that she had perfected, but a grin crossed his features as a flurry of fists soon followed.<br/><br/><em>'There's our little fighter.'</em>Albion thought inwardly, the sounds of flesh meeting flesh resounded. She was strong but her power wasn't like other demons tended to be, who were far stronger than their physiques let on. It was part of the reason Albion wanted her to train; She didn't have the luxury of power other demons did, but as a Demon of Calder, her power did not lie in the physical, but rather the mental plane.<br/><br/>However, when he gave her permission to strike like she was beating up someone she hated, he smiled. "Oh, someone's gotten on your bad side then? This is new..." He seemed almost proud to know the demoness could show something resembling fury. The hits grew louder, and he even found himself flinching from a bruise-worthy kick to his thigh that momentarily compromised his stance before he solidified it. "Hmhm, there's a fighter somewhere in there, she just needs the right catalyst to come out." He goaded her on. Even though he knew he was gonna feel this later.<br/><br/>Even the way she looked was telling, her ears swept back. She was like a fox on the hunt. "Keep going, Neri. Don't stop until they're pulverized. It's you, or them. Strike like your life depends on it."
