Chapter 128: The Story of Lilyana Creater 6
🕑 Added 2024-08-15 12:18:15 +0000 UTCHowever, in the end, my body could no longer hold on. I fell, my body surrendering to exhaustion. A sense of emptiness hit me again, making me feel powerless.
But I refused to be defeated. With the remaining determination, I got back up, trying to fight the weakness within me. I would not give up, not anymore.
However, after repeating it over and over, I almost intended to give up. Fortunately, the push-up training finally came to an end. The relief was only temporary, as Haruto immediately ordered us to continue with squat jump training. This exercise wasn't too difficult for me... I just needed to adjust my rhythm to match the others.
We all managed to get through this squat jump session, but just when I thought it was all over, Haruto surprised us again. Haruto instructed us to stand and start running around the Giant Spider Cave of Iron Web.
At first, everything went well. However, as time went on, my body began to feel the effects of fatigue. My legs started to hurt, the soles of my feet felt sore, and my calves muscles ached. My breathing became more irregular, and my body began to tremble from exhaustion. Dizziness struck my head again, and sweat poured down from my temples.
It felt incredibly painful, and it seemed like there was no end in sight. My body seemed to plead for me to stop, but my mind refused to give in. No! I can't give up! I must not give up like this! I have to endure! I don't want Haruto to help me again!
I kept forcing myself to hold on, even though every step felt like torture. Hold on, Lilyana! Come on!
Finally, we all finished. We had completed the running training. I collapsed onto the ground, exhausted, with heavy breaths. My head felt dizzy, and my eyes lost focus. My body trembled from the overwhelming fatigue.
Haruto then gave us a break, and we were allowed to eat smoked meat. For some reason, this smoked meat tasted incredibly delicious. Maybe it was because I was too tired, or perhaps because I was too hungry. Whatever the reason, I devoured the meat with enthusiasm.
After finishing our meal, Haruto instructed us to stretch our legs. Haruto said this was important so that we wouldn't experience muscle or joint problems later on.
After stretching, Haruto then announced that he would help us feel the Aura... an energy possessed by every Anomalies and Abnormal, but can also be found in some ordinary humans under certain conditions. I felt both curious and nervous. Would I be able to feel and control it? Would I succeed?
Haruto began the process with Patrick. At first, Patrick seemed calm, as if he was confident it wouldn't be too painful. However, in an instant, Patrick's expression changed drastically. Patrick screamed loudly, looking in immense pain. I was shocked, hardly believing that it could hurt that much.
Would it really be that painful? Would I be okay? Anxiety began to creep into my mind. Calm down, Lilyana! Haruto is just trying to help us become stronger. I must stay calm and strengthen my resolve.
After Patrick, it was Natsuki's turn. However, Natsuki screamed much louder than Patrick, making my anxiety grow even more. But I tried to remain calm, even though my feelings were becoming increasingly chaotic.
When it was Bellina's turn, my anxiety peaked. However, instead of Bellina screaming like the others, Haruto suddenly stopped. He looked at Bellina with a confused expression and then said that I should go first.
Confusion took over my mind. Why did Haruto skip Bellina? Was he worried that Bellina would get hurt? No, Haruto isn't the type to show favoritism like that! But then, why didn't Haruto continue with Bellina?
But that didn't matter now. My turn had finally come, and I was about to experience the pain that Patrick and Natsuki had gone through.
