Cross Launched at the woman and raised his right leg to kick her, she took the bait immediately but sensed something was wrong so she Immediately thought of a backup plan.
Cross then smirked thinking he has lured her in then he switch to his left leg to kick her directly in the stomach.
"Gotcha" The woman said then dodged the attack, grabbed cross leg, spun him around, and finally smash him in a nearby tree.
"I've been doing this for 16 years young man tricks like that won't work on me" She said then grinned.
"That's not fair how can you have powers and know martial art too!" Cross screamed in Anger.
"Doesn't matter, what matters now is the deal you have to hit me 3 times and you win but if i win and you're on the ground automatically i won the deal" she said.
'Tch' cross thought his anger getting more and more every second.
He hated her confidence in this and just want her to eat her own words.
His power was coming out slowly even though they both didn't see it, he charged towards her his palm turned into a fist.
He was attacking and attacking with all the strength he got but she only used one hand to fend off all his attacks towards her.
"These punches aren't even worth dodging" She said full off confidence.
That made Cross blood boil even more, the thought of Ripping her into shreds was not even irrelevant at this point.
"What's your name anyways" she asked, "Cross.. Cross Markson" Cross said his anger a little wear off.
"Hold up… Markson?" She said then laughed uncontrollably, "what's the matter" Cross asked confused.
"Markson your dad" she said and laughed uncontrollably again.
"Yeah what about him? What did he do?" Cross asked more curious this time.
"Markson Clutch was your Fathers name, when he was little about 6-7 years old he got diagnosed with a sickness where he gets ticks like every three seconds, when we were all in class one day he would just randomly start saying things that we couldn't understand but we laughed anyway" she said.
"So our school was doing a project to know who was the strongest in the school, and when they picked our enter class most of us passed including me but when Markson got called out and saw the animal he was gonna use for the training he peed on his pants and started saying random stuff again while crying" she added then laughed uncontrollably again.
"Oh God it's still funny till this day" she said and wiped off a tear from laughing but laughed again.
Unfortunately she was the only one laughing, Cross kept a straight face and he was even more angry than he was before.
"I'm gonna beat you" He said in this small voice that made the woman know he ment business.
She was still laughing nonetheless and cross charged at her his speed faster than last time, she dodge and he jumped to another stone and landed a direct hit at her Stomach.
She flew to a tree and the tree almost fell off from the force of the punch.
It was at that point the woman stopped laughing and joking.
"That was one hit i got two more" Cross said, "tch don't get cocky, Bastard!" She screamed and launched at Cross.
Even though Cross tried to dodge she used her powers to strike him, he fell and hit the Ground Really HARD.
"Tch damn you!" He said then charged towards her and used all the skills in martial art that he knows but she dodged them all and it was getting clear who has the upper hand.
Then Cross used his trump card he three stones in the air and started to move in the rhythm of the stone as he kept on throwing them.
If the wind took one of the stone left and the other right and the third one down he will move to that rhythm in a super fast way.
The woman raised one eyebrow and that was the chance he needed to land a punch, for someone to be confused the person doesn't really protect his or her surroundings leaving them open and free for an attack.
Cross Smirked and a laugh almost escaped his mouth, "Gotcha!" He said then ran at super high speed and almost punched her in the stomach.
She dodged just in time and did a backflip to stand, "you're pretty smart… for a novice that is" she said then launched towards cross and gave him a hard punch in his jaw.
Cross Fell on the Ground unable to move because of the force of the attack and he was drained.
"Guess i won then" she said then was about to walk away, "I'm not done yet" Cross said then forced himself to stand up.
"Huh?" She asked, "I said I'm not done yet!" He screamed then a blue energy covered him.
"I was wondering what took so long" she said then grinned.
Cross's eyes showed a spark of Lighthing and his eyes turned blue his shoe were turn to shreds, a part of his trouser were torn, and his hair changed into white and blue.
"Yours is blue? Interesting" She said in a curious tone, "so that means you're amongst the blue monarch one of the strongest and rapidly growing Lighthing Monarch" she added.
"Shut up and Fight me" Cross said his voice more deeper and colder now.
"Now don't go overboard you're only at F rank and I'm at C so don't get cocky or whatever" she said then also transformed hers was amongst the Pink monarch.
Cross Fired Lighthing towards her but she fended off his attack with her own and it struck a nearby tree.
Cross used his speed to move behind her to strike her with his Lighthing but he's too slow so he didn't make it in time and she struck him first.
Then the ground broke into pieces and they both fell into a dark underground cave.
"What the- where are we?"
