The constant deliberation over those skills as well as a deep yearning for it left Xiao Lin incapable of fully concentrating on his work for that day. He had used his replication skill the day before, so he would have to wait seven more days for its next use. In addition, the past day's gravity training made his muscles sore and swollen. He appeared absent-minded when transcribing that morning, and it did not take long for Professor Brown to head downstairs and point out—very harshly—some grave grammatical errors in Xiao Lin's transcript.
"Xiao, your focus seems to be lacking." Brown had also noticed that Xiao Lin was in a state of malaise.
"Professor, I went to the training hall yesterday and I'm still a bit tired. I think I need some time to adjust." Xiao Lin took the opportunity to ask, "Can I take a day off if it's possible?"
Brown's face was very unhappy. "I'm sure you're aware that our current rate of progress is unsatisfactory."
