There was a fair bit of commotion surrounding the gym, the multitude of workout machines used by the people inside. They all shared the common goal of exerting themselves to the limit for that chance of getting stronger. A few of them were regulars, and of them was Terra, pumping his arms up and down in the bench press, the combined weight he lifted leaving some of the others around him gawking. The youth in question was running on adrenaline alone at this point, not even bothering to count the reps, until someone broke his concentration, asking for their turn.
“Just...give me...a sec...”
With his focus gone, he started realizing just how exhausted he was. With a grunt of exhaustion, he forced the bar and its weight up above him to the resting brace. With several deep breathes, he slowly sat up, taking his towel and wiping his face, quickly doing the same to the spot he rested on out of pure courtesy. Standing up, he turned to the next person, a grin on his face.
“Whew...Alright, you’re good to go. Sorry for the wait.”
