The three juniors finally stumbled out of the machine area after finishing their "simple" circuit training.
Valtor collapsed on the floor first. "I… CAN'T… FEEL… MY LEGS…"
His arms twitched like he'd just been electrocuted.
Seira sat down slowly, her breathing sharp but controlled.
"My whole body is… overheating. The creatine's side effect is… stronger than expected."
Mersha lay flat on her back, arms spread out.
"My bones… feel like jelly… I think my mana is melting…"
Their faces were flushed red, their veins glowing faintly.
They were clearly suffering from dehydration and mana strain.
Arden crouched beside them, clapping his hands.
"Good work. You handled more than I expected, even with the side effects."
Dahlia leaned over them, hands on her hips."Alright, juniors. Get up."
None of them moved.
Dahlia narrowed her eyes. "Get up."
All three groaned in unison and rolled to their sides.
Valtor mumbled, "Five minutes… please…"
