Chapter 19
Physical Training Class
BAM!
I was slammed to the ground, the impact rattling my bones.
"Urgh..." I groaned, barely able to comprehend my surroundings.
'Huh? Wha— How did I even get here? Did I sleepwalk?' I thought as I struggled to get up, my muscles aching with every move.
I glanced at my smartwatch, my heart sinking as I realized I had only gotten 2 FREAKING HOURS of sleep. Today's class was Physical Training, and my body was still achingly sore from the previous day's session.
Physical Training meant sparring with a partner. Students were already paired up, gathering their modified training weapons—tools designed to lessen the sting of combat.
Among the busy scene, I noticed Cypher was paired up with Rex and Edge was paired with Christian. Scanning the room again, my heart sank. I was the only one left without a partner. In the end, the only option was to spar with our female instructor, Evelyn Scoria.
"Ms. Lockhart! Why are you still lying down? Get up and spar with me!" Evelyn shouted, slicing through my thoughts.
I could barely move; every inch of my body was shouting in pain. It seems that I exerted myself yesterday from working out. I had scratches all over my legs and arms because of today's sparring.
My face was pressed against the floor as I gasped for breath, attempting to muster a response. "Ma'am... I surrender," I muttered, the words slipping out as I dozed off again, fatigue pulling me into its embrace.
