For the first time in hours, they felt relief, and tears of joy welled up in their eyes as they realized how much better they felt.

The sudden relief from the pain was a welcome reprieve, but the idea of continuing was almost too much to bear.
Still, they had no choice. They lined up, prepared for whatever Riley would throw at them next.
And so, the training continued. Another six hours passed, with the disciples dodging stones and pushing their limits to the breaking point. They only retired at exactly midnight, utterly drained.
