Raviel gritted his teeth as he lowered himself into another squat, sweat dripping down his jaw and onto the floor.
Thump.
The ground shook a little under him because the barbell on his shoulders wasn't normal.
It was loaded with 400 kilograms of plates, and his legs were trembling like overloaded pillars.
Raviel growled under his breath, veins standing out along his neck.
"Four hundred… was a terrible idea…"
Garion leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching with a relaxed smile.
"Come on, Raviel. With that [Burning Storm Physique], this is basically a warm-up."
Raviel's eye twitched. He pushed up again, legs shaking violently.
"Warm… up…? I feel like my bones are melting!"
Garion hummed. "Good. That means it's working."
Meanwhile, a few meters away, Aveline was doing push-ups, except she wasn't touching the ground.
Her body hovered a few centimeters above the floor, held up only by her trembling arms as the [Divine Weight Straps] grew heavier each second.
