After just one session where Azrael pushed her to her extreme, Maddison was able to improve by eight points! Is this how Azrael grew every time he trained? If that was true, then it wasn't surprising that Azrael was so strong.
Maddison now knew that Azrael trained this hard every single day, so she was no longer surprised that he was so much stronger than the others in their year.
As they walked, Maddison grimaced as she felt extreme pain in her body. This was the first time anyone had pushed her to work out this much, and a small part of her was grateful that Azrael gave her this chance. But from the way Azrael seemed disappointed at the end of the duel, Maddison didn't know if he would be willing to work out with her again. This might just be a one-time thing, and Azrael would instead just go on his own next time.
"Did you get training from a combat school?"
Azrael was the one who spoke up first, and Maddison nodded.
