Taking Control [1]

"Huu...huuu..." 

My body rose and fell as I breathed in and out. With sweat trickling down my body, I slowly closed my eyes and continued doing the same motion. Alongside it, I made sure to carefully move the mana around my body. 

"Are you ready?" 

It was then that a voice echoed inside the room. 

I promptly ignored the voice. 

Lowering my body once more, I flexed my muscles and only stopped once my chest and nose touched the floor before moving. 

My movement was very slow. 

Slow to the point that my muscles started to sting with each movement. 

"Haa..." 

It was only after I completed the movement that I finally stood up. Taking a clean towel I cleaned my body. 

'Warm's up done.' 

Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. 

Detaching four large bracelets from my arms, I put them away. 

Knock. Knock.
