It was the next day after the night sewer bomb mission. Tess's specialized training was different due to Lanse's briefing with Sensei. Sensei tasked her with creating energy blasts. It was due to his conclusion that was what her glowing hand tried to do.
The new test got her seriously wounded but she refused to enter deep sleep out of fear of ending up in the infirmary. As a result, she woke up several times from her death-like state.
Unintentionally, she impressed Sensei with her resilience. Since she had not created a blast, he took it as a sign to prolong her test. Tess swore Sensei was torturing her. But what for?
To her disappointment, she recreated her dark energy sphere that quickly shattered. Sensei took it as a positive sign to end her training and get her medical help. But Tess refused to be moved. She lied covered in blood, depressed she did not use her Metasyne powers.
