Chapter 324: Incredible Ability

Kate did not respond to Lina’s question, as she just concentrated on what she was doing. At this point, she was not really sure how this worked, despite the description that she had gotten, the moment that she awakened the ability.

So, she decided to confirm first, just to be sure if this ability really worked as the information claimed.

Lina on the other hand, upon seeing that Kate did not have any intention of responding to her, she did not insist on asking. Instead, she just sat on the bed, watching Kate curiously.

After the warm up exercises, Kate immediately began a routine of exercises that she had been doing for quite a while now. Even after she joined the police department, she did not stop, as she continuously looked to improve.

The workouts that she usually did were mainly focused on breaking the limits. Each and every time, she would try to break her own limits, only then would she feel that she had improved.

If not for the fact that her mind was so much set on getting revenge, she would have already given up, as the pressure was just too much.

In just a little while after she begun exercising, she began sweating. But even then, she continuously performed a set of jumping squats.

She continued doing this, until she felt a burning sensation in her muscles. But even then, she did not stop, as she continued, wanting to test the limits of what she could reach.

Lina, who was watching from the side, was quite surprised at how resilient Kate was. She could see that Kate was already at her limit, but she was still continuously pushing.

This made her quite puzzled, not understanding why Kate would push herself like this. Even during the time before the combat assessment, Kate had never pushed herself to this extent.

Kate on the other hand did not care about what Lina was thinking about. Instead, as she continuously did the exercises, she finally began feeling something changing.

At first, she was feeling drained, her legs almost giving in, but eventually, this sensation began disappearing. At first, it was a little slow, but as time went on, Kate no longer felt the impact of the exercises that she was doing.

In just a little while more, she realized that she had already recovered, and the sweat that was already on her face had begun drying.

Lina who was observing from the side was also a little puzzled. But eventually, she seemed to realize something, but even then, she was kind of shocked.

About 40 minutes later ever since Kate began exercising, she finally gave up the exercises. It was not that she was tired, but because she felt that she was doing nothing.

It was clear, if she continued like this, there was not much that she could gain. So, she decided to shift to another set of exercises.

This time, she was doing burpees, which involved a fast, full-body move where she dropped into a squat, kick her legs back into a plank, with a push-up, then jump her feet back in, then explode upward into a jump. This exercise built strength, speed, and endurance, all at once.

She started the burpees at a steady pace. Her legs handled the jumps easily at first. But after a short while, her breathing became faster.

Her shoulders began to feel heavy when she pushed off the ground, while her arms grew tired, and her core stayed tight through each movement.

Sweat formed on her face and neck once again. As she continued, her chest rose quickly, and her whole body felt the effort, not just her legs.

Just like before, Kate did not stop, despite feeling tired. She just persisted, continuously doing the burpees, aiming to see if there would be the same effect as during the jumping squats.

Of course, it was not that easy to hold on. If not for her incredible willpower, she would have already collapsed, as she felt her entire body resisting.

Even though her legs were not that much impacted by the exercise, still, she also began feeling the strain in her leg muscles as she continued exercising.

But what she noticed was the fact that most of the strain came from her upper body.

At the time that she was just about to pause, as she felt completely drained of strength, she felt the same sensation as before.

She felt as though her muscles were beginning to relax, as if they were already beginning to adapt to the strain of the exercises that she was doing.

Therefore, she just gritted her teeth and continued with the exercises. Thankfully, due to the ability that she had, although she was continuously working out, she felt her body continuously adapting.

And in just a few minutes, she felt completely light as she continued with the exercises. At this point, her body had already adapted to the extent that it seemed that she had been doing this type of exercise for most of her life.

While that might be true, there was always a limit to what the body could handle, no matter how many times a person did the exercises.

She had already reached her limit a few minutes ago, but it was at that time that her body began adapting, which was why she continued.

But at this point, doing the burpees was almost the same as someone doing push-ups against the wall, very simple, for quite a while.

As she finally ended this session, Kate did not feel the least bit tired. Instead, she felt quite invigorated, as if her body was filled with tremendous energy.

She just felt as though her strength had just increased, but as for what margin, she was not sure.

Nevertheless, she felt that she had definitely gotten stronger. And this made her quite excited. As long as she continued training, increasing the intensity of her exercises slowly, she would definitely be able to possess strength beyond human limits.

This ability, it was just as she had imagined it to be. It was just the way that she had described to Michael, though she felt that it was a little overpowered as compared to her expectations.

But even then, there was nothing to complain about. With this ability that could allow her to be able to see herself visibly growing stronger, she realized, it was definitely a high level ability.

She was not sure about the categorization of abilities, but she believed that there definitely was a categorization.

And if she could make a guess, she believed that this ability, while not directly combat oriented, it definitely was one of the top-notch abilities available.

Of course, that was going with the consideration of the limitations of this ability. Had it not been that this ability had some limitations, it would have definitely been the very best ability out there, from her own point of view.

While this ability could allow her to get stronger by carrying heavyweights, that did not imply that she was supposed to go and find something weighing an entire ton, and try carrying it.

Before her body could even adapt to the weight, she would have been crushed to death. So, she would have to proceed step by step, increasing the weight slowly.

At the moment, she was not sure the maximum weight that she could carry. But even then, she was thinking about trying that out after they were allowed to leave the dorm.

Still, just as she was about to try and feel the changes that had occurred in her body, when suddenly, she felt hungry. It was as if she had not eaten for quite a number of days.

This sensation nearly made her collapse, as she felt her stomach was completely empty.

She quickly rushed towards her bed, opened the bedside cabinet, before she took out a few snacks. Each of these snacks were given to the recruits, which they could eat during the breaks at the time that they were doing physical training.

These snacks, which she had never ate outside the training camp, contained quite a good amount of calories. So, they were quite good at replenishing the energy.

So, ignoring the puzzled gaze that she was receiving from Lina, she quickly began eating the snacks that were like compressed biscuits.

Even though they were almost tasteless, with the little taste being a bitter aftertaste, Kate just continuously ate.

Finally, after she had finished all her snacks, she realized that she was still hungry. But even then, at least, at the moment, it was not the same as before.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Lina asked, a little puzzled. She failed to understand why Kate was acting like this.

At one moment, she was exercising like there was no tomorrow, as if she wanted to faint while exercising.

She had been observing it all from the side, where, Kate would start normally, then begin straining, before the exercises became easier for her as time went on.

She had already began making some guesses about the type of ability that Kate had, though she was not really sure.

But even then, she could not understand why Kate was eating like a starved person. Could it be that this was also related to her ability?

Just as she was puzzled, Kate’s voice brought her back to her senses.

“Could you help me with those snacks but you kept away? I’m quite hungry, and since we are not allowed to leave the dormitories, I cannot go to the cafeteria to eat.” Kate asked while looking at Lina, her eyes almost pleading.
