The sounds of feet pounding against the treadmill echoed through the mansion's indoor gym, as Andrea had been running on it to complete the 10KM run. Her legs were sore, her lungs were burning, and she fought hard just to stay conscious.
"Huff…huff…" Andrea's breath left her mouth in short, quick bursts, the air hot, and the pain intense.
"What's up with you all of a sudden? You've never seemed interested in physical activity up until today?" Anne's voice said, standing beside the treadmill as she watched Andra run.
From her memories, Andrea had discovered that there was a gym inside the mansion, and a pretty big one at that. Her father, Thomas Andre, had been using it a lot of the time whenever he needed to get a quick workout or keep himself fit.
If he wasn't hunting, he would workout instead. And now Andrea was going to be using it as well, it would be stupid if she were not too.
'It wasn't difficult to gain access to this place, after all, I am Thomas Andre's daughter, so all I needed to do was ask him, and although he found it weird at first, he gave me permission to do so.' Andrea thought, gritting her teeth as she worked hard to push through the last 2 KM.
"I…just want to be more athletic…" Andrea spoke, her words taking time to leave her mouth as she could barely speak with the pain in her chest.

"Dad is a strong….Hunter….and…pant…" Andrea's breath caught in her throat, but she pushed through the pain regardless and fought to finish her sentence.
"If…I end up awakening one day…I want to be strong enough to defend…myself and persue being a Hunter…"
Anne's eyes widened upon hearing her answer, as she had thought that Andrea would be training for an activity at her school, something like a race or sports. But never had she imagined that she would want to be a Hunter.
"Sigh, this again Andrea? I thought you had given up being a Hunter, as Mr.Thomas would never let you pursue that career." Anne said, crossing her arms.
'Heh…if only she knew..' Andrea thought with a small smirk.
"That…may be true….but…even if I don't end up awakening as a Hunter…having an athletic physique wouldn't hurt, ri-!" Before Andrea could finish, one of her sneaker's laces became loose and got stuck inside of the treadmill, tripping her off balance as she rapidly began to fall.
Before she could however, Anne reacted quickly and caught her just before her face collided with the treadmill's tracks, her movement a blur of motion as she moved in an instant.
"Are you okay? I think it's time you rest for a bit." Anne said, looking down at Andrea who was still in shock from almost getting her face smashed on the treadmill, receiving a nod from her.
"Yeah…thank you." Andrea whispered, her face flushed with embarrassment as she was lifted to her feet, like her weight as light as paper in Anne's grip.

'Finally…that was hell….' Andrea thought, looking at the progress of her Daily Quests. She had completed most of her daily quests, all expect the Three Sacred Prayers, which she decided to experiment with more closely as there was nothing holding her back from doing so anymore.
"I'm going back to my room now," Andrea said to Anne, who simply nodded respectfully and allowed her to leave.

She took some time to wipe the sweat off her tracksuit, hydrate, and take a quick shower, stepping into more comforting clothing as she flopped onto her bed.
"I've completed everything every quest except this one," Andrea gazed at her system, staring at her Daily Quests.

'I wonder what I'll get after completing the Daily Quest? Jinwoo normally gained 3 Stat Points, A Random Loot Box, and A Status Recovery. Will I get something different? Does being chosen by fate grant unique rewards? Or will I just get what Sung Jinwoo receives?'
Her mind raced with so many questions, her mind reeling at the possibilities.
'Either way, I don't mind. Whether or not I get what Sung Jinwoo does, or something completely different, it would still be helpful in the end.' She thought, sitting right up in her bed.
"Alright, lets give this quest another try! I've prayed in the morning and it worked, but when I tried praying again, it never went up no matter how many times I tried.
What if I try it now that it's afternoon time? Maybe it will increase, and if it does, then I might've figured out how to complete this Daily Quest."
Andrea muttered to herself, clasping her hands together as she closed her eyes, reciting a short prayer under her breath.
"Amen." She ended, hearing a soft chime coming from her system as her ears perked and her eyes opened in surprise, coming to see that the system had updated itself.

"It updated!" Andrea grinned, feeling a sense of triumph and accomplishment blooming in her chest.
"If my theory is correct, it would mean that the last time to pray would be…"

The skies were illuminated in a soft orange hue, the sun drifting off under the horizon, signaling the end of the afternoon, and the start of the evening.
Andrea stood by the entrance of the mansion, dressed modestly for the occasion as she was patiently waiting for Zoey to arrive.
"She's taking quite some time to get here," Andrea muttered, glancing around a bit paranoid as she felt a bit creeped out standing outside alone, with the bodyguards patrolling the premises periodically.
After a few minutes of waiting, Zoey had finally arrived, pulling up to the entrance inside a Luxury car. As soon as Zoey saw Andrea waiting outside for her, she immediately leaped out of the car and crashed into Andrea's arms, almost knocking her over.
"Andrea!" Zoey exclaimed, hugging her best friend who could barely breathe from her incredible grip.
"G-good evening to you too, Zoey…could you let me go now?" Andrea said, struggling to breathe and form words.
"Oh! Sorry!" Zoey said, realizing that she wasn't letting Andrea breathe, awkwardly scratching her head with a laugh.
Anne walked towards the two girls, her tone professional as she spoke.
"Now then, shall we go?"
