The one diligently running was Lis, who had been persistently training; he appeared considerably stronger than he had three months prior.
Lis, originally somewhat impatient, realized that this second trial wouldn't end anytime soon and that even his own mindset was the key to the trial, so he steadied his heart and fully immersed himself in the process of enduring and polishing his body.
Since his rebirth, apart from mastering the Warrior Professional Specialization "All Martial Arts Mastery," Lis had never trained his body so seriously.
When learning with Joyce, it was more about advancing his combat skills.
Though this body was not his own, Lis discovered his past inadequacies through training.
Perhaps focusing on learning skills and techniques, he had not fully mastered control over his body and strength. The Lis of the past was already quite exceptional for an ordinary Mage, but for Lis, who aimed for all-around development, any deficiency had to be addressed.
