章 54: Thunder Approaches

In the Crescent Moon Agency gym, Eratz was deep into his workout routine. He was on the treadmill, running at a relentless pace of 24 km/h.

The machine's timer blinked, nearing the hour mark. Eratz's breath was steady, feeling no fatigue. He moved seamlessly to lifting weights, then to shoulder training, and more. He didn't rely on his beast power, this training focused purely on his raw strength.

From afar, Victoria watched him, a proud smile on her lips.

"Seems like it was more effective than I thought," she murmured to herself.

The gym was filled with others beast masters doing their own routines. For them, it was a rare opportunity to watch Eratz's work ethic, but they soon regretted it and became more intimidated.

Adrian was among those struggling to keep up. He was on his own mat, breathing hard, exhausted. He glanced across the gym, his eyes catching sight of Mercury.
