Tian Lei's hands came together loudly, like thunder striking.
He pointed at each of them.
"Sleep early. Before dawn… you run again."
Han Yi fell backward.
"Noooo… Why is there always running?!"
Mu Chen covered his face.
"Running is pain… walking is pain… breathing is pain… existing is pain…"
Yue whispered,
"Just… let dawn never come…"
Lei Feng raised a shaking hand into the air.
"I volunteer to sleep forever…"
Ling stood and bowed to Tian Lei.
"Thank you for today's training."
Han Yi choked on air, pointing at her again.
"STOP THANKING HIM!! YOU FEED HIS POWER!!"
Tian Lei ignored them and walked off into the night like a looming executioner.
Silence filled the courtyard.
Then Han Yi slowly stood up, wobbling like a newborn deer.
"I… have a plan…"
Mu Chen glanced up.
"A plan to quit…? I support it…"
"No!" Han Yi declared proudly.
"A plan… to survive tomorrow!"
Yue's eyes widened with the tiniest spark of hope.
"Really…?"
