Chapitre 76: Hold Position

"Good morning, Colonel. We are ready to go." Karl greeted her at the door, then winced as she patted him on the shoulder in greeting.

Dana was awake, but in a daze, not in any shape to be vocal, so Karl was doing the speaking for the both of them. Colonel Valerie seemed to recognize that, and she didn't push for more speech out of them as she led them to the car and back to the same training warehouse from a week ago.

The teams all smiled as they saw the two bedraggled students stumble in, leaning on each other to remain upright. Karl, because he could barely walk, and Dana because she was half asleep.

"Well, they made it through hell week, but I'm not sure if they're in any shape to make it through one more day of training to make it to the day off." One of the mages laughed.

Alice, the dark-haired mage that watched Karl's training every day, smirked at him and gestured toward the pair.
