(Leo's POV – The Arc Ship Training Grounds)
Mastering the first phase of Blade Switch had taken two long, grueling months, but now came the part that truly tested his endurance: reinforcing his body for the supersonic impact and perfecting the mana tether to the dagger.
It was one thing to be pulled at three times the speed of sound. It was another thing entirely to survive the journey.
Leo had already felt the consequences of failing to reinforce his body properly.
The first time he successfully executed the high-speed pull, he had nearly blacked out from the whiplash.
The sheer force of acceleration rattled his spine, skull, and organs, leaving him dazed for hours afterward.
His muscles screamed in agony, and he woke up the next morning feeling like he had been run over by a freight train.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the air drag at such speeds felt like a million tiny blades slicing against his skin.
