'Is this one of the resources of New City?'
That was the thought of Alex at the moment.
Calling the place he found himself in a pool was a stretch, because he was failing to see the end of it. It was more like an indoor lake. And he was sure the water was not normal, whether because of its color, or because of its effect.
He touched the mask he was breathing through. It was what he had felt being attached to his face. This allowed him, and the others, to avoid drowning in their weak state.
He felt his bruised and tired body. In the water, it was as if he was being massaged. The fatigue and the pain was going away. It felt like I was squeezing the time needed to recover from the training. And maybe also allow the effects to be shown sooner. Now he understood why the last conditioning had been necessary.
