A few weeks passed, Shaddai ran on the track field every day for hours, lifting gigantic weights, after all these days he was able to lift one ton in base form, he started to have a more defined lean body. Working out shirtless and sweaty, Hannah noticed.

"Why are you hanging out like that all nude? Put on a shirt," yelled Hannah.

"And get my awesome hedgehog shirt all sweaty, I will pass, thank you very much," said Shaddai, who wears his hedgehog shirt every day after working out and taking a shower, putting it on the laundry once a couple of days.

"And besides, it's not like I am bothering anyone, soldiers here often workout shirtless, it's hot down here you know" - added Shaddai taking a few steps and getting closer to Hannah.- "It isn't like I am provoking inappropriate thoughts into someone, right?"

Hannah blushed and her face turned red like a tomato.

"I mean not you, right? You are pure like a nun," said Shaddai smiling, but this offended Hannah.

Carlos was at the other side, he stopped using his suit, reading every day, and meditating to improve his mental aura output and energy manipulation skills. But after these weeks he put the suit on again and walked towards Shaddai.

"99 wins, 100 loses, it is my time to choose the challenge, and I am going for a good old-fashioned fight," said Carlos daringly.

"Feeling confident huh? Well I want to test the results of my training as well, let's give it a go," said Shaddai accepting the duel and both of them stepped into the ring, Hannah and Tlaloc were particularly interested in the fight.

They started the fight, both of them dashed to the center of the ring and exchanged hits, straights, uppercuts, counters.

"You've improved your close combat skills," said Shaddai, hitting Carlos.

"I only lost that time because I wasn't used to the suit," replied Carlos, returning the favor with one body blow.

"Excuses, very well, I won't hold back, happy mode, hyperactive body!" exclaimed Shaddai and disappeared, Carlos made a mental shield to protect himself but Shaddai broke through it with a punch hitting Carlos in the helmet, jab, straight punch, jab, uppercut, jab, right hook, left, hook, jab, one-two, Shaddai gave a barrage of hits to his foe.

Carlos tried to counter but Shaddai dodged.

"He is way too fast," said Tlaloc, kind of worried.

"Shaddai is way stronger now," Hannah thought.

Carlos casted a mental blade and swung it against Shaddai trying to hit him but he dodged everything.

"As I said, no holding back, angry mode, furious body," said Shaddai, transforming.

Carlos made 3 barriers but Shaddai shattered all of them and hit Carlos on the chest making him flinch back to the ropes. Shaddai went to finish the fight.

"Shaddai wait!" exclaimed Hannah.

Carlos started glowing green and summoned a solid armor around him with four extra arms and said, "Mental armor, Ashura mode."

Tlaloc's jaw dropped.

Shaddai hit Carlos with everything he got, Carlos covered himself lifting his guard and using two of the extra arms, Shaddai threw a barrage of frenzy hooks, Carlos' suit, mental armor, and even an extra pair of hands on his guard and it wasn't enough to protect Carlos, the mental armor was starting to crack. But Carlos used one of the free mental arms he had and punched Shaddai on the face with a full-strength counter. Shaddai fell unconscious.

"100 wins to 100 wins now," said Carlos and emerged victoriously. Tlaloc's eyes sparkled a little.

After a few minutes, Shaddai woke up.

"You are incredibly strong with your angry mode, any longer and You could've actually killed me after breaking my mental armor, but you are not as fast and you don't think as clearly, technique is one of your strengths, but in this form, you fight differently, with more openings to counters," said Carlos giving feedback to Shaddai.

"You maybe could've won with just your hyperactive body, maybe you should stick to that strategy until you fully mastered your anger, and thanks for showing me that my mental armor is still weak, I wanted to improve my close combat skills in case I am forced to fight that way, but I should think in one more strategy, just in case,"

"Thanks, dude, glad I could help," added Shaddai with a big smile on his face and a mild headache.
