Chapter 453: Chapter 374 I’m Just a Bit Tired Lately_3

That meant she could train on her own first, and when her body was tired, she could trigger "forced training," letting the Observer’s power drive her body to continue her studies!

Just like now!

Her chaotic breathing stabilized, and her malformed movements were corrected. The stinging of Sword Light was suppressed in the silent cries, and the fatigue of her body was excreted sweat drop by drop.

However, this full-power training mode naturally had its downsides.

Because what couldn’t hold up first wasn’t Sonia’s body but herself.

When pain and exhaustion were about to drown her soul, Sonia immediately stopped training, activated the "Sincerity" Technique Spirit to greatly enhance her Spirit Resistance, and forcibly held off the bone-deep weariness and the pain in her limbs!

Snap.

The moment she exited the "forced training" status, Sonia collapsed directly onto the floor, feeling as though she was melting like ice cream. Her clothing was as wet as if she’d been fished out of water, and her tear ducts worked harder than ever to wash her eyeballs—Sonia didn’t even know if she was crying from pain or exhaustion.

So tired, so painful, I can’t go on, I really want to die...

She suddenly remembered the conversation with her assistant just now and gave a bitter smile.

It would be nice if one could really get joy from training, perhaps that’s how most geniuses are, but sadly, that wasn’t the case for her. What drove her to strive wasn’t the happiness found in training, but...

Sonia rested for quite a while, then sat up, guzzled down a large bottle of water, and, gritting her teeth, stood up to continue her training.

...

...

That evening, when Sonia returned to the dormitory, she plopped onto the table as soon as she arrived.

Lois glanced at her, "Tired?"

"Yeah."

"You should just take a bath and go to sleep."

"I can’t." The president of the Claw Club stretched and pulled out several thick books, "I still have to study."

"Didn’t you already read those books from the Time Continent?" Adelle peeked out from her bed.

"I don’t remember everything after one reading, and there are many details that are easily overlooked." The Village Girl said earnestly, "If I don’t read them over a few more times now, it’ll be trouble once I’m in the Void Realm."

As she said that, neither Lois nor Adelle could persuade her to take a break.

However, while reading, the Village Girl suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I almost forgot!"

"Did you forget to do laundry?" Adelle leaned over, "I forgot too, wash ours together."

"In a couple of days, I need to do a sound check. I need to practice my throat and vocal cords!"

"Acting, releasing singles, studying, training, preparing for the college league..." Lois counted on her fingers, "These days, I’ve yet to see you rest. Aren’t you tired?"

"Is Sonia that pitiful?" Adelle said, "Forget it, I’ll help you with the laundry."

"Tired, yes, but these are things I must do." Sonia lifted her head, "I don’t want to be old and regret not seizing these opportunities when I was young."

"I think you’re not going to have the chance of ’being old,’" Lois remarked, "I wouldn’t be surprised if you suddenly die in bed one day."

"Would the school waive all our papers and assignments to shut us up?" asked Adelle.

"Don’t worry, I do rest adequately, no need to worry about me."

Sonia waved goodbye to her roommates with a smile, but she stopped suddenly at the door of the dormitory.

After a while, she said, "I’m not coming back tonight."

Lois blinked, "You’re going to practice your throat all night outside? Are you practicing your throat or murdering it?"

"No." Sonia shook her head, her eyes shining as bright as Dazzling Stars, "My soul has fully recovered."

With that, Sonia left the dormitory like the wind, leaving Lois and the others with no chance to say anything.

"How did she recover so quickly?" Adelle wondered, "I’ve heard that the recovery period for a Two-winged Mage’s soul is quite lengthy... Could it be that Sonia was bitten by La-La and died, so her soul wound is shallower?"

"I thought she would relax a bit after her Void Realm death," Lois sighed, "But it turns out she’s even more determined than before... and she’s been able to rest and sleep for the past few days. Now that her soul has recovered, not only is she going all out in reality, she’ll continue to fight hard in the Void Realm."

Adelle nodded, "Every time I see Sonia work so hard, it makes me feel guilty enough to turn over in bed."

Lois gave her a look, "Speaking of which, that fan group of Sonia’s... drag me into it; I’ll help you guys with operation management."

"Weren’t you disinterested before?"

"I’m still disinterested, but... I’m free anyway."

...

...

Meditation Building.

Touching the Gate of Truth, consciousness submerged into the Void Realm.

When Sonia opened her eyes, she was greeted once more by the reversed flow of the Golden Rain that she hadn’t seen for many days.

She sat as always in the back seat of the sports car, with the Witch beside her and the Observer in the front seat.

"Hmm..." Ash opened the Void Realm Map, "Let me check how far we are from the Spider Tower... Huh?"

Ash turned his head to see the Sword Maiden flipping over from the back seat and wrapping her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder.

Ash blinked, "Sword Maiden, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, don’t move, just let me lean on you for a moment." Sonia inhaled greedily, nuzzling her head gently as the day’s hardships, grievances, and disguises seemed to vanish like smoke in the rain.

"I’m just a little exhausted recently."
