TWO DAYS LATER
Again!
Lobo pushes me across the training area onto my back, and Minette clicks her tongue. "No, no, Lobo. Good try. But you are still thinking like a beast without powers. You are a Journeyman and should be used to having powers by now. Did your former Mistress not teach you? She is an elf. You should have had MORE training and better training."
On my back with my feet stuck in the air, all akimbo, I feel my spine locking up. Not broken, because Lobo ISN'T using his beast power to his advantage. But my back is stiff and sore, and I never noticed that the training area is made of steel, not tile. An exaggeration, but not by much.
And I'm pulling my punches with Lobo. After all, there's no need to go full Beast Mode.
For all that, he hasn't managed to immobilize me. Minette is right. Ex-Lady Lammermoor really did not do Lobo any favors. All these rounds haven't moved the needle in terms of preparing him for the Beast Taming Elimination Tournament.
