Continuation
The trainees' bodies were scattered everywhere across the field. Some trainees lie flat on their backs, while they stare blankly at the sky. There are also others who curled on their sides while clutching their stomachs.
Lionel was one of those people. He curled to the side and closed his eyes for a moment.
'I never want to see another sit-up in my life.' His abdomen burned so badly that even breathing felt painful. His heart was also beating badly against his chest.
For several seconds, nobody moved in their position. The trainees who failed earlier couldn't help but look at their fellow trainees sympathetically. They were already in so much pain earlier that they couldn't imagine how badly it hurt for those who did 200 reps
"I can't feel my stomach anymore..."
"I think mine disappeared after one hundred and fifty."
"If they say 'one more exercise,' I'm leaving the Empire."
