Rockman nodded as the new recruit launched into another battle round. "Okay Lightman, try to loosen up. Being in a battle, it's easier to be able to react quickly."
Lightman nodded and aimed his ionbuster at the glowing sphere once again. This time it hit dead on and the light diminished, showing that he hit the target. "Yay!" he cheered.
Netto's face appeared on a screen. "Hey, Lightman, Rockman. Why don't you two do a free battle spar?" he asked.
"Free battle spar?" asked Lightman
Rockman nodded. "Yeah, when it's just me, you and our default weapons." He said
"Sounds fun!" said Lightman. "Let's go."
Netto set the timer and got up. "Okay, I'm gonna go get Enzan, you two have fun!" he left the room and a loud buzzer started.
"Keep on your feet!" said Rockman as he dashed at the navi.
Lightman nodded. "Always!" he said
Rockman punched to the side of Lightman's head but the dodged the blow easily and countered with a roundhouse kick that sent Rockman flying.
Rockman quickly got up and dashed at him again firing off a volley of shots from his Rock buster, but Lightman dodged them all as well. He quickly jumped up and fired off his own ionbuster and cheered when Rockman received a few blows.
This went of for a few minutes as Lightman continued to seemingly pummel Rockman into the ground. As Rockman landed from yet another blow, Lightman became suspicious. "Wait a minute, this is awfully easy." He said softly.
"Very good." Said Rockman and punched Lightman in the back sending him flying forward.
Lightman got up from the sudden attack wincing. "So that's it, you were going easy on me." He said in shock.
"Not necessarily." Rockman came up and started to throw many punches that Lightman barely managed to dodge. "I was just trying to see how strong you were. I'm glad you didn't get cocky, you wouldn't believe how many people do that." His speed increased. "Even Netto-kun!" he threw one last punch that caught Lightman in the stomach.
Lightman grunted and skidded back a few feet from the force of the blow. "So, am I strong?" he panted.
Rockman looked thoughtful and jumped up to land behind Lightman. He pressed his buster to the small of his back and smiled. "No, not yet. But you do have amazing potential."
Rockman lowered his buster and held out his hand. Lightman turned around and took the offered hand. They shook and Netto came back into the room pulling a very disgruntled Enzan by the collar of his shirt. "Hey Rockman, done with the training?" he asked.
"Yes Netto-kun." Said Rockman.
"Hikari, I swear if you don't let go of me within the next three seconds…" started Enzan.
Netto cut him off. "Okay, go to the downstairs server then, Mejin-san said he wanted to see us."
"Yes Netto-kun!" said Rockman. Netto walked out of the door pulling Enzan along.
"I'm not listening to his rants along Enzan, you're coming with me."
"Dammit Hikari, I have a meeting!" he yelled.
"Too bad!" said Netto
Rockman rubbed the back of his head. "Those two make quite a pair." He said
Lightman giggled. "Yes. Rockman, thank you very much for training. I hope that one day I'll be strong enough to challenge you." He said.
"I look forward to it." Said Rockman.
