Damien stared at his hand, wondering how long he'd been able to do that. His mind flashbacked to the moment when he pulled that glowing book off the bookcase, recalling that he felt a little different after that. Realizing that he had gained a new ability, he grinned. This new life of his was full of pleasant surprises. Getting up from the ground, Damien said, acting cocky, "[color=9e0b0f]Heh, scared little [i]what[/i]? Sounds like someone needs to get off her high horse.[/color]"

After seeing Olivia make her enraged charge towards Damien, though, he put his game face back on, realizing that the time for jokes and banter was over and it was back to fighting. Damien did learn something from the recent exchange of blows, though. There was no doubt that in terms of raw physical strength, Olivia was superior. However, Damien was quicker and more agile. As Olivia sent her fist flying towards Damien's face, Damien moved down and to the left, the punch sailing over his right shoulder. At the same time, Damien counterattacked with a right punch aimed directly at Olivia's face. Damien yelled as he put as much power into it as he could, intending to flatten her into the ground.
