Astra squatted down as Takao was lying down on the ground below the high cliff which lead to the top of the mountain.
"What do you think?" she asked as she handed him a bottle of water.
Takao was breathing heavily, "Damn it, your trainings are really barbaric."
"That's it for you for today," she patted his chest and said.
When he was climbing using his earth ability, it was easy at first because Astra already trained them with their energy consumption before but upon reaching half way, he was already too tired that he could no longer use more.
He was doing what Astra said about searching for a place to rest but even with that he was still too tired that he could only give up, rest for a bit to regain a bit more energy to help him go down.
"Am I the first one to fall?" he asked seeing no one around him.
