Unbroken

(Rodova Military Academy – Leo's Dorm Room)

That night, as Leo finally collapsed onto the floor of his dorm, he truly felt it.

The sheer difficulty of trying to focus when his entire body was on fire.

The soreness from Professor Marvin's morning torture session, combined with the absolute beating he had endured under Major Hen's merciless matchmaking, had left his muscles in ruins and his bones aching with every breath.

Meditation, something he had always done without fail, was absolute hell tonight, as every time he tried to settle his breathing, his body screamed at him to stop.

If not for [Monarch's Indifference] keeping him from fixating on the pain, and [Faster Regeneration] working overtime to heal his battered body, he doubted he would've lasted even a few minutes before losing focus.

But despite the struggle, he pushed through.
