236 The Ark Of Training With Ysabeau

"If you think that I would go easy on you, then you are highly mistaken. I'm not Z, I have no restraint," said Ysabeau, getting ready to fight.

"I'm not a child anymore. So do not treat my powers as such," boomed Mavislin, eyes shining gold.

"Wait, you don't have to fight to the death, right?" asked Bryan, trying to cut the tension.

"Bahamuts, in nature, are competitive fighters. To death would be no problem."

"And Valkyries hate losing."

"Aren't you guys family?" asked Bryan, once more.

"Family does not matter, especially when it comes to fighting. We are not human, so we are not bound but useless words," explained Ysabeau, darkly.

"You won last time. I will triumph this time," said Mavislin, lunging towards Ysabeau.

The two clashed, sending both Aura influx rippling through the area. It happened so quickly that Bryan failed to see them clash another time. And the two girls clashing caused both Z and Raiyen to pause their training as well.

"Should we go check it out?" asked Raiyen, landing on his feet.

"Hmm... I don't think Ysabeau would go that far."

"Mav might. She doesn't have full control of her powers as of yet. So I don't know if she might go berserk," explained Raiyen.

"Well, let's hope not."

"Continue with your training. I'll make sure the two girls won't destroy themselves," said Gillian, from afar.

"Alright," chimed both men.

Back at the girls, they had yet to unleash any spells and have been using physical attacks. Both were in the air, with speeds that far surpass the fastest of birds. But their style is completely different from one another.

Ysabeau's style was rushed, extremely unpredictable as she soared through the skies. She was like a mad person, zipping through and clashing with Mavislin without any restraint. Mavislin was like an elegant being as she swiftly dished out attacks to combat Ysabeau's random attacks. The two were not acting like their personalities.

Bryan had expected the mother to be more graceful and elegant in her moves. And he expected Mavislin to be like a mad person or rough with her flight. Though one thing is for sure, none of them had any bloodthirst within their attacks.

They are only fighting because Mavislin has to get stronger. And Ysabeau wants her little one to exceed her expectations. Both won't be killing each other. Ysabeau was smiling while Mavislin had no expression. Bryan was still waiting for an opening to launch an attack.

"Hm, it seems like your junior wants to join in the fight. Shall I amp it up?" asked Ysabeau, throwing a punch towards Mavislin.

She dodged with ease and backflipped, turning right at Ysabeau to deliver a kick near the older woman's head. Of course, Ysabeau blocked it. But Mavislin changed her power from kicking to the side to kicking straight down. This landed a blow on Ysabeau's shoulder but did no major harm.

Instead, she grabbed Mavislin's leg and tried flinging the Valkyrie but Mavislin was having none of it. Mavislin used Ysabeau's shoulder as a stepping stone, leaping away to safety.

The two then backed away, with Mavislin backing down, nearer to Bryan.

"Looks like she's getting serious..." said Mavislin as Ysabeau's Aura turned bright blue.

"Try your best to not get hit. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety," ordered Mavislin, looking at Bryan.

He nodded as he steadied himself. Anything could happen.

"Battle Outfit: Sapphire!" shouted Ysabeau, as her wings and outfit changed.

Her Aura seemed to bleed into her wings, causing her wings to turn bright blue. A lighter shade of blue surrounded her wings as well. Her battle armor became more revealing, with both her chest and stomach exposed. She had a blue cape and a skirt of the same color.

Her arms and lower legs were covered with armor, tinged with blue as well.

And those weren't the only things that changed as she vanished from the spot she was in. Bryan barely had enough time to dodge when Ysabeau appeared right in front of him.

"Libra, Stars of the Balance!" yelled Bryan, pouring his power into the sword in his hands.

Before the spell could be manifested, Ysabeau broke the sword with her bare hands.

"You are much too slow," said Ysabeau as she tried to punch Bryan square in the face.

But the Valkyrie had other plans as she kicked Bryan's lower legs, causing him to fall. Ysabeau was in the motion of the punch and this allowed Mavislin to counter it by grabbing her arm.

"Do not touch any of my children," growled Mavislin, gripping Ysabeau's arm tightly.

If a human was in her grasp, Mavislin would have broken the arm. The Valkyrie swung the Bahamut away and destroyed a few trees in the act.
