Hearing Ba Jogos's assurance, Ethan still remained skeptical.
Observing Ethan's hesitance, Ba Jogos picked up a piece of dried meat from the table, and then offered it with a prompt, "Just eat this, and then try to assume the poses from the book."
"Is this the jerky made from that meat Link gave us?" Ethan inquired.
Ba Jogos nodded affirmatively, reassuring once more, "Don't worry, you'll be fine this time."
After a moment's contemplation, Ethan accepted the jerky, biting into it without hesitation.
Immediately, a familiar sensation coursed through him.
His entire body felt as if it were engulfed in flames, radiating an intense heat.
"Follow the movements in the plan book now," Ba Jogos urged.
For Ethan, it wasn't a challenge at all.
He quickly assumed the stances illustrated in the training plan book.
It was then that he noticed the anomaly.
