The sun had already begun to set, and as usual, the training session led by the Mercenary King Yunho and the Mercenary Queen Mina felt like pure torture.
Many of the newly joined knights couldn't keep up and ended up collapsing from exhaustion. Garren was among them—he admitted that his body just wasn't as young as it used to be.
I also saw Luna and Termina sprawled out on the ground, unable to continue.
Even Leopold, who had seemed like he could make it to the end, eventually succumbed to fatigue and collapsed.
In the end, only a few of us managed to complete today's brutal training: Serena, Cain, Theresia, Freya, and me. We were already used to this kind of physical intensity.
But then I realized there was one more person who finished the training.
It was Marius.
He had just completed a 10-kilometer run. His entire body was drenched in sweat, but strangely, he didn't look tired at all. It was as if this level of training was normal for him.
