Low Seat of Madness [1]

Thump, Thump—! 

I dropped the bodies in front of me and sat down on a rock, leaning back and relaxing my head against one of the trees. I was tired. Exhausted. 

Each breath that I took seemed to be laced with flames while my mind was quite light. Not only was I physically exhausted, but so was my mind. 

Going all out with Emotive Magic wasn't so easy. 

I had to take deep and steady breaths to calm myself down. 

'Regardless, I still managed to come out on top.' 

I glanced at the three bodies next to me. I wasn't quite sure about their identities, but I knew from the brief exchange I had with them that they were incredibly strong. 

I honestly hadn't expected to win against them like that, but I had severely underestimated my own capabilities. I really... was being incredibly inefficient with how I was using my own skills. 

This was a learning experience for me.
