Lake explored Kate's family training facility, reacquainting himself with each machine. It had been a few months since his last fitness test during the preliminaries for the Martial Arts Course Entrance exam.
He glanced around, noticing Kate sitting casually on one of the bench press machines, watching him with a raised brow.
"What are you going to use first?" she asked, her tone casual, but there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Why? Worried I'll break something?" Lake joked softly, already heading toward one of the machines.
Kate rolled her eyes in response but didn't say anything.
As Lake walked over, he paused, his expression shifting as remembered something. "That's right, there was something else I wanted to confirm first..."
Raising his hand, Lake released a dark blue mist from his skin. The mana swirled around his arm before dissipating. He studied it for a moment, satisfaction flickering in his eyes.
