Magus Supremacy

Chapter 383

"We’re here," Vanessa announced, her voice light yet satisfied as she and Grey finally reached the mountain’s summit. The wind blew gently around them as they stood atop the peak, gazing down at the vast forest sprawling beneath.

"Well, time to train," Grey said with a shrug, pulling off his shirt and tossing it aside. His chiseled abs and defined muscles gleamed with sweat under the sun, causing Vanessa’s eyes to widen slightly. She bit her lip, trying not to stare too obviously—but it was hard not to.

"One..." Grey muttered as he dropped to the ground and began a set of push-ups.

His arms moved rapidly, muscles flexing with every motion. Vanessa sat on a nearby rock, silently counting along in her mind, her gaze fixed on him.

In just five minutes, Grey wrapped up his push-ups and smoothly transitioned into sit-ups, then squats—his breathing steady, his focus absolute.

"Fifty-eight," Grey finally called out, beads of sweat dripping down his brow. Vanessa huffed as she watched from the side, her arms crossed.

’Tch. I thought we came up here to spend some time together. But nooo, this fool is busy doing his damned exercises... How annoying!’ she grumbled inwardly.

When Grey finally dropped to the ground to rest, his chest rising and falling rhythmically, Vanessa couldn’t help but watch him in silence. His eyes were locked on the forest below, his mind seemingly adrift in thought.

"Oh? You can actually sit," Vanessa remarked dryly as she saw him rest, pretending not to care, though her heart was racing a little.

Grey didn’t respond right away. He simply inhaled the mountain air, letting its calmness soothe the storm within him. But then, Vanessa came to sit beside him.

"I refuse to believe you followed me all the way up here just to watch me train," Grey said without turning, his eyes still fixed on the quiet forest.
