The Empire of Reimia (3)

But if the students thought, even for a second, that they were starting to get used to the training, ho-ho, they were in for a big surprise, because right after that, they were thrown into a deep pit, up to their chins in thick mud, and left to sit there for several hours.

After the strength training, Parphinora didn't feel too bad. Yes, her whole body ached – but it was a good ache, the ache of growing muscles. But standing in the mud...
"This is humiliating," she thought to herself, afraid to even open her mouth so that mud wouldn't get in – "it's disgusting. It's degrading. It's unacceptable. It's awful. It's wrong. It's..."
However, after some time – she couldn't say exactly how much – all these thoughts ended, and only numbness and the desire for it to end someday remained.
After the end of this nightmarish day, Parphinora critically examined her naked body in the mirror in her room. Yes, there was a noticeable strengthening of muscles in all the right places. Just a little more, and she would be able to significantly improve her strength stats.
