Chapter 23: Tutorial.20

While I was relaxing, I couldn't help but reflect on how strange the resistance was. I wasn't tired in the traditional sense; I didn't feel the urge to take a nap, and my muscles didn't hurt or anything. During the fight itself, I didn't feel even a second of exhaustion, but as soon as the battle was over, a deep tiredness overcame me.

Now that I think about it, maybe it was mental exhaustion, not physical. Not that there was a statistic for that. Or maybe willpower helped resist it? I wasn't sure. I could only try to guess, but considering I didn't feel mentally less overwhelmed, even with all the stat increases, it didn't seem to be the case.
