Narrator:Today's the first day of Nikolai's training sessions, let's see how it goes for him.

*Nikolai woke up earlier than usual, got his normal breakfast, and headed straight towards the gym*

Nikolai(mind):Alright! Rumani said that the other members of the Nepenthe athletic team would be there. I'm interested to see what kind of people they are.

*Nikolai opened the door and saw Rumani in the middle of the slightly crowded gym. However, Nikolai saw another familiar girl there that he wasn't too excited to see*

Nikolai(mind):Oh no...it that girl from the marathon! Why is she here?!

*Nikolai approached Rumani, and ignored the sweaty girl standing next to them*

Nikolai(mind):Why is she still incredibly sweating?!

Nikolai:"Morning, Rumani."

Rumani:"Good morning, Nikolai. Ready to start your first session?"

Nikolai:"Yep, of course!"

Rumani:"Perfect, let me introduce you to the second member of Nepenthe. You already have met, but this is Folkwang."

*Rumani pointed at the sweaty girl, who was fanning herself with her hands*

Folkwang:"Nice to meet you, Nikolai. I'm sorry about what happened during the marathon."

Rumani:"I took away her portable fan for the day while we work out as punishment."

Folkwang:"I'm gonna die from sweating though!"

Rumani:"That's not even possible."

Folkwang:" It's so unfair! Right, Nikolai?"

Nikolai:"Huh? Why are you asking me? I'm the victim here."

Folkwang:"I know, but taking away my fan is like not giving me breakfast."

Nikolai:"Why?"

Rumani:"Oh right, Folkwang has a special...disease, that makes her overheat constantly, and profusely."

Nikolai:"Really? Wow, I didn't know you had something like that. I'm sorry for being mean about the marathon."

Folkwang:"Wha?! It's not a-"

*Rumani covered her mouth*

Rumani:"Why don't we start our workout now?"

Nikolai:"Oh, ok then."

Rumani:"Folkwang, you can get an ice pop to cool yourself down. Me and Nikolai are going to do some cardio."

Folkwang:"Really?! Alright!"

*Folkwang runs off, while Rumani and Nikolai start their workout with a treadmill run. After 30 minutes, they stopped after Nikolai started to feel exhausted*

Nikolai:"Ugh...hah...how about we take a break...yeah?"

Rumani:"You know this is just the warmup, right?"

Nikolai:"Oh god..."

Rumani:"And we have 20 more exercises to do."

Nikolai:"Oh dear god..."

Rumani:"Very well, we'll take a 30 minute break halfway through."

Nikolai:"Better than nothing, I guess."

*Nikolai then somehow managed to complete the next 10 exercises without passing out. Afterwards, however, he immediately passed out on one of the benches in the gym*

Nikolai:"Ugh..."

Rumani:"Alright, Nikolai. It's almost time to get up and start again."

Nikolai:"You're joking, right? Already?!"
