A loud crack on Mario's neck was followed by a second one on his shoulder and several small ones on his fingers as he stretched his body. Fascinated by the mobility he felt and how rusty his body felt, he took a deep breath before admiring the room: Tt really lacked decoration but its simplicity was something that words couldn't explain. The multiple cracks, holes and other damage that the Golem had inflicted upon the room didn't affect the looks of it negatively as for something so empty they fit as decoration and as he turned toward nothing in particular he laughed at how long it took you to realize he wasn't Mario.

The Golem struck him with a powerful blow which broke the ground around when its blow landed on Mario's face without any visual effect

"You knows something little pebble?" he said while yawning as he rubbed his cheek against the Golem's fist "It'd be a shame if you break this body before I get to use it; Although if this is what creatures of your level have I guess I could keep you to take care of the door" he added

The Golem's eyes shined as it send a barrage of attacks which made the ground where both Mario and the Golem stood to slowly sunk with every blow catching Jhin's attention as part of the rubble made a hole in the comic he was reading

"Hey Mario, you can't beat it. The whole point of this training was to realize your weaknesses and be able to work around them so I will be stopping this" said Jhin as he summoned his pistols and started walking towards them before quickly ducking to avoid the Golem's torso which flew past his head

"W-What!? I thought you copied weapons not power" said Jhin surprised as he turned towards Mario  who was still standing in the same spot holding the Golem's whole arm from its fist

"Hmmm it will be hard for you to open the door without this now" Said Mario as he tossed the Golem's leftover arm aside and looked towards Jhin  "I didn't really bother listening to your names since I could always look it up online afterwards so don't bother introducing yourself alongside your dreams and goals, Ok?" he added with a sigh and a laugh

Jhin quickly realized Mario wasn't being himself and started shooting, avoiding his vitals to try and restrain him "I guess your gauntlet is self-aware, don't worry Mario this has happened before and we know how to deal with it" he added as he kept the barrage of shots

Jhin's shot would hit the Golem's arm that Mario had quickly put up as a shield as it wouldn't even get chipped by his shots "Are you kidding me? You are using a weapon capable of using the speed of light hoping it will pierce a Golem's skin? That's like turning a diamond into a paperclip and attempt to pierce a wall!" said Mario while laughing as he grabbed a pebble from the ground and tossed it towards Jhin  and into his sleeve all the way up to his left shoulder, piercing it "See that? When you have the power to make something move really fast, all you need to do is think of a way to  use it properly" he said as he stretched his right arm and then tossed the Golem's arm aside once more as he started to warm up nonchalantly.

"What are you? A weapon with self-awareness has never been able to control its owner's body to this extent!" said Jhin as he held his left shoulder trying to stop the blood from flowing when Doram and Pierre walked in to check on Mario's trainaing as they had planned beforehan. Doram's armor was now Ebony in color and with a helmet which hide his face but made his eyes shine bright red and Pierre was wielding two swords, one pure white and the other one pitch black.

"What's my name? Oh well, there is the spoiler answer, Theoretical answer, the fan answer and the obvious answer, but for the sake of continuity all I'll just say: I AIN'T GOT A NAME" was Mario's answer as his gauntlet turned pitch black up until his elbows which formed a claw at its end, he placed his other hand onto the claws as they pierced his flesh, blood pouring as he slowly pulled out a double edge greatsword which was dripping blood which  he used to attack Doram by swinging his sword and the blood which was launched from the sword's swing  melted part Doram's chest area of his armor and started eating its flesh before evaporating.

"I feared this would happen the moment your weapon didn't rest, but to think it would take over you to this extent. I will apologize to you properly later, Mario" said Doram as he quickly regrew his armor to normal and punched the sword to the side and then with a swift side step, landed an uppercut against Mario's face  as he was now looking up when Pierre appeared behind him from within Mario's shadow aiming for Mario's neck but failed as Mario's right arm twisted and bend the the wrong way to grab Pierre's swords before they could connect.

"Is this really the power of the fourth and fifth seat!? Such a waste..." said Mario as he cracked his neck back to normal and pierced Doram's chest armor with Pierre's sword then slashed his swords in half and took distance between him and the others "If I'm not wrong you can repair those swords, am I right? The black sword which allows the user to move in the shadows will prevail as long as a shadow exists and the white sword which creates light and therefore shadow is the perfect combination to keep each other going. But Doram, you poor old man...you aren't even using the Ebony in its full potential! You wrap yourself around it as protection when you have already made multiple copies of you and spread them around this world, do you really think you can beat me while holding back? Either call them back or sit this one out, The pretty boy there should be able to keep you company with his busted out shoulder" said Mario while shrugging

"I wanted to enjoy some more but..." Mario's sword was half full of blood and a smirk was drawn in Mario's face as he intended to rush toward Doram and the others but he fell. Mario's right arm, and leg were now numb and he couldn't move them

"What-? This can't be! I'm not using the full potential of this body so the body shouldn't crumble just yet unless...HER!" Mario exclaimed and the sword emptied its content and a thick red bubble hid Mario away and he sit down pulling his right arm and leg together and closed his eyes "Time to see what she messed up this time"
