"HUFF... HUFF..."
Thor was breathing heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows.
He shook his slightly numb arms and looked at his Contracted Magical Beast. There wasn't a trace of fear in his eyes; instead, they burned with a fierce will to fight.
The Armored Rhinoceros had also stopped, two heavy plumes of white steam snorting from its nostrils. Its large, bell-like eyes were fixed on its master, as if awaiting the next command.
"Not bad, Thor. Your control over your Power has improved again."
The instructor walked over and patted Thor's shoulder.
"The Earth Bear Bloodline must be constantly tempered like this to unleash its true potential. Your Armored Rhinoceros is also coordinating well with you. With its integrated offense and defense, you have a promising future."
