Chapter 72: Foundational concerns

"Saw you beating Milliana, good job man, she's strong." Kane complimented.

"Thanks." Rui replied, before smirking at Kane. "I heard Fae came back with a fury and kicked your butt." He playfully teased.

"I was tired!" Kane complained. "I beat her again after I came back having consumed some potions!"

Rui laughed wholeheartedly. After he left to spar with Milliana, he'd grown absorbed in his own battles, he had wanted to maintain his defender position for as long as possible. He'd heard of and caught glimpses of Kane and Fae sparring with each other for the rest of the sparring session.

Fae had come back with a fury after the initial loss, rejuvenated and healed, and beat Kane to a pulp. What Rui found amusing was that after Kane came back, also rejuvenated and healed, he repaid the favour, defeating her again. This started a petty cycle of rivalry between them, where they would each come back healed and rejuvenated after a loss and beat the crap out of the fatigued other.
