    The rest of the week passed without major incidents. She poured all her blood, sweat, and tears into the treadmill and stationary bikes, jogged on the track, studied harder than she ever had in class, and survived the demands of being a professional athlete.

    After changing into her clean old uniform, Marco accompanied her to the gym. He marked her sets, set the pace, and explained how to use the machines. Using a gym felt novel and a bit strange. She had never needed to use the one in her old academy; only racers and a few Umas who were more...
