PopularNovelChapter 672 Burned Skin and Sharp Instincts +8 Pearls Sophia instantly understood what Tessa was thinking the moment she opened her mouth.
"Don't underestimate running. It could save your life when it matters most.” Being fast could be the difference between life and death.
Tessa went quiet.
Fine. Whatever.
She knew that as long as Marie was the one giving orders, there was no use resisting. If she didn't finish, she might not even get fed. It was just... a miserable life, The following week.
Compared to her ton Spada Island, Tessa's training now was on a whole different level- several times harder.
Once her physical condition improved, Marie added even more training sessions.
She ran five laps around the island twice a day with weights strapped to her legs. Climbed that crescent-shaped mountain twice a day.
And in between? Cybernetics, marksmanship, knife combat...
Everything she'd never touched before-she was thrown right into.
Her shooting had improved. A lot.
She could hit an apple within three shots.

Half a month passed in a flash.
Tessa had been with Marie for fifteen days, and the change in her-from inside out-was huge.

Meanwhile, the outside world had turned upside down.

"Victor's making it clear," he muttered darkly. "He's against me." Conan replied, "Mr. Victor must've already found out that one of the teams on Spada Island was ours." That alone would've been bad enough.
But worse-nothing they planned actually worked.
For the past few days, Dan had been brooding, his presence cold and sharp.
He lifted his glass and took a sip. "What's the situation with the long mother?" With Silas at Diana's side, Dale was under even more pressure.
Conan said, "She and the old man are tearing each other apart right now. They can't spare any focus on us." Dan rubbed his temples.
Yeah. For now.
But Silas being with Diana meant he'd definitely learn about Dan's men showing up on Spada Island.
Bottom line? Dan had moved too late. He hadn't known Silas was even there-let alone that they'd almost collided.
He set down his glass.
Dan raised his eyes, and the look in them was cold and dangerous.
"Let's go back to Ashen Pact." "Right now?" Conan frowned.
He didn't think this was the best time, Diana and Dale were at each other's throats. The entire place was chaos.
Dan gave a cold chuckle, “Exactly. Now's perfect." Chaos? With Victor stepping in, Ashen Pact was already a mess-and that was just how Dan liked it.
Conan saw his mind was made up and didn't argue.

Back on the island...
Tessa was training like usual. She ran faster, shot straighter.
But her skin... oh, her poor skin.
After her shower, Tessa caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and let out a gasp.
She touched her now-deeply-tanned face and thought, How many skincare products would it take to fix this? Would she ever be fair again? What if she turned out just as dark as Marie? That thought alone made her want to cry.
From outside the door cSophia's voice. “Tessa.” "Sophia, I'll be right out." "Marie said you get half a day off today. Once you finish your shower, go rest.” "R-really?!" Her eyes sparkled.
She'd never realized just how precious half a day off could be. Now she understood.
Sophia simply replied, "Mm." And walked off.
Tessa, thrilled, headed straight for Marie's room. Marie was stillom asleep it was only eight in the En.
morning. She'd just finished her run and had planned to shower, eat, and move on to gun training.
