"Haaa… Haaa… Haaa…"

Stella breathes heavily as she just drained her Spiritual Energy. She had rested to regain her stamina after running around but she was out of breath again.

Apparently, practicing Spiritual Energy would consume your physical energy too if you're not used to it. 

'If I know that I'll be training my Energy again, I wouldn't have stopped practicing it at all…' Stella thought as she grumbled about how weak she had become. 

"Stella… Tell me about the one that you drank before… I saw you taking it out carefully in your safe box when the cultists attacked." Reiji asked interrupting Stella's thoughts. 

"Ah, Master… Yes, it's a very expensive potion so I had to keep it somewhere safe. I got it from my father before he… left me."

Stella paused as she remembered what happened to her father. 

Reiji noticed that her eyes became teary so he tried to continue the conversation…

"I… I see. You must've treasured it."
