"Haaa... huff.. agh..."
Step, step, step...!
"Hah... I'm done..."
『 Cleanse (✦ Basic Magic ✦)』
A soft glow surrounded me as the spell activated, cleaning away the sweat and grime from my body.
"I'm done for today…" I muttered, rolling my neck to ease the stiffness.
Then, I cast the spell 『Cleanse』 again, just to feel fresher.
I'd been staying at the cathedral for a few days now, recovering. But even if I was still healing, I couldn't slack off.
I had already lost weeks of training, and I could feel it.
My stamina wasn't what it used to be—not bad, but not at my peak.
This wasn't "real" training, more like my daily routine to maintain what I had left.
A simple run of 25 kilometers, followed by 500 push-ups, sit-ups, and squats. All while wearing 250 kilograms of weights strapped to my body.
Thud!
