I think I've told you this before, but I always had an ability to just disconnect with my emotions when I wanted to.
To act without any hesitation and move toward the outcome I needed to achieve.
To simply blank out my mind and replace all other thoughts with cold logic.
I remember the very first time I faced a Spirit Beast back in my family's private dungeon. It was when I was a kid. I wasn't even an Awakened.
Obviously, I lost in seconds. The beast trapped had me under its claws and was about to make a feast out of my flesh.
But even as I watched its disgusting maw draw closer, I felt nothing at all.
All I remember thinking was, 'Huh, that's it?'
Ever since then, I had countless near-death encounters.
I had faced people bigger and stronger then, people more experienced than me who had no qualms about killing.
I had been beaten to an inch of my life on multiple different occasions. I had screamed and bled and broken more bones than I cared to remember.
