Aina adjusted quickly. Her battle sense had always been beyond Leonel's. What Leonel had to deduce and calculate, she did as naturally as breathing, her instincts and reflexes existing on a plane all to her own.

Facing the oppressive leg kicks of the Rapax, her movements were as calming as a spring's wind and as lithe as a ball of cotton.

It was quite interesting, of all the battle styles the Rapax could have with its powerful body, their race seemed to have chosen to become a group of kicking experts.

I return to Earth, I won't let Simeon go again. His Gene Manipulation Ability isn't even documented in any Ability Index I've ever read. In fact, I haven't ever seen Aina's Ability documented either. But, it also happens to be the
