After everything that had unfolded, Aquarina spent the following days training and preparing for the challenges ahead. She split her time between the Oasis and Everstone, practicing her newly acquired skills, exercising, hunting stray monsters, and enjoying lighthearted moments with her friends, sharing meals, laughter, and play.
She also helped Silvia and Justicio grow stronger, designing specific training regimens for them. While the short timeframe limited their progress, the effort would still aid their readiness. Both needed to adapt to their evolving powers. Justicio, for instance, had recently unlocked "Combined Armor," a technique that merged all the Exoskeleton Armors his Physique could generate. Initially, it lasted less than a minute, but through repeated use and deliberate Mana depletion, he gradually extended its duration to ten minutes.
