Esme's training resumed the next day, with Revana taking charge as her mentor.
The initial days proved grueling, but as Esme pushed through the routines of daily laps, her body gradually adapted. What had once seemed impossible – running five consecutive laps without faltering — became a manageable feat.
Within four days of excess training, she could complete the course without the overwhelming exhaustion that nearly caused her to collapse on the first day.
With each session, her speed noticeably increased, and her lap times grew shorter. However, the whole session turned difficult when Revana arranged obstacles she had to skillfully evade on the way.
She eventually tripped on one and fell to the ground, a groan of frustration escaping her lips. As expected, Revana was not impressed by her fall.
