Mina had just left the Council building after returning from another mission. Her body felt heavy with exhaustion. Her arms were still painful from the prolonged battle she fought alongside another team.
Although the mission was supposed to be a joint effort, things quickly became difficult once they encountered stronger monsters than expected.
Mina ended up carrying most of the fighting, stepping in whenever her teammates struggled to hold their ground.
By the time they completed the assignment, she was nearly drained.
But she didn't complain. The mission was exhausting but it also gave her another opportunity to test her abilities.
She could feel the difference in her body compared to a few weeks ago now. She no longer hesitated as much when facing danger.
She was getting stronger, and that was what was important to her.
Mina headed toward her living quarters. All she wanted was a hot bath and a few hours of rest before her next training session.
