(Juxta Military Base, The Next morning, Leo's POV)
Next morning, Leo found himself sparring against Charles once more, this time within the base's crude training facility, as a large crowd gathered to watch the two go at it again.
The crowd was particularly curious to see how much stronger Leo had become since their last brutal encounter, and they were not disappointed by what he showed, as his improvements in such a short time had many in the audience buzzing with excitement.
Charles, ever the showman, stood across from Leo with a rusted plumbing pipe resting on his shoulder and not a trace of shame on his face as he twirled it between his fingers like it was a master-crafted sword.
"Don't hold back," Leo said, rolling his shoulders as he twirled his twin daggers into a reverse grip, his eyes locked onto Charles with quiet intensity.
