With Gluttonous Beast here...
Wasn't that the same as having Headquarters' armory right beside them? Why were they working themselves to death?!
Gluttonous Beast looked innocent. "You never asked. You just kept your heads down and fought, didn't you? I thought you wanted to train yourselves."
The two humans and one zombie fell silent.
Fuck.
That made perfect sense.
They actually had no comeback.
Bai Shu gauged how thoroughly his mutant ability had been depleted. He really had grown a little stronger; at least his energy reserves had increased. Pushing his limits really did spur advancement.
He took off his mask to catch his breath.
Only inside Little Class Monitor's Spatial Domain could he get a moment's respite.
Chen Xiaofei took off his mask too. It was covered in dust, so filthy he could hardly bear to look at it. "This ice feels so good, oh my god."
He pressed the ice Xu Duoduo had given him against his face, his hair soaked with sweat.
Bai Shu sat in a cooling chair Gluttonous Beast had brought out, enjoying the fan as he took out his tablet to record his observations. "Ability users are more than just two or three times better than ordinary people at coping with extreme heat."
Gluttonous Beast was utterly impressed. "Is he always like this? Does someone in this world really love learning that much?"
Chen Xiaofei nodded repeatedly. "You'll get used to it. Old Bai's always been like that."
Soon, the veterans from the Four Continents Team fell back as well, all of them drenched in sweat. Before entering the Spatial Domain, they stripped off their sweat-soaked combat uniforms and changed into fresh ones.
They didn't strip completely naked, of course.
There was a girl present, after all.
They kept on the quick-dry tank tops
