Zack was laying down on the ground, and his nose was bleeding profusely. Other than that though, he was completely fine!
His eyes were open, and he was breathing just fine.
"So, it seems the test was a great success," Zack said, wincing from the sound of his own voice. He had heard an unbearably loud crack in the process of giving that technique his all, and his head was throbbing painfully.
Nick chuckled, before extending his hand outward. "You need me to bring you to Hypatia?"
"Yeah, but I can't move on my own. I put myself in the Exhaust State, and I overexerted my mental energy reserves on top of that."
"What the hell is the Exhaust State?" Nick said, clueless about what happens when one runs out of Ardor.
"Forget about it, bring me to the medic, ya' bastard. . ." Zack's voice trailed off, as the noise was getting a bit too much for him to handle.
