Chapter 10
September 20th. Beacon's training room.
As 'Eye of the tiger' blasts loudly in the background.
"21...22...23…" Nora huffed and gasped as she continued to curl a bar loaded with weights. Her body drenched in both new and old sweat, her biceps pumped to the gills and in excruciating pain.
But.
"24...25...26!" She didn't dare drop the weight until her arms would give out themselves. "27...28!" She bit hard into her lip, almost drawing blood from it, but she managed two more reps.
Bam!
The bar hit the floor followed by a deep, booming sound. She wiped the sweat on her face, and closed her eyes for a moment.
Pant. Pant. Pant.
Breathing itself was an exercise on its own.
Pant. Pant. Pa-No! She was not done yet! As exhausted as she was after two hours of non-stop exercising, she didn't take a long rest. Instead, she lowered herself down to the floor, and started to crank out some one-arm push-ups. A fine thunderstorm still roaring behind her madly determined aqua.
Her training arc had only begun.
