The punishment was meant to be hard on purpose.
Lucian and Glacielle got ready, standing face to face with only a few inches between them. Every push-up brought their faces close to each other.
They both blushed a lot the whole time.
Marshal watched with crossed arms. "FASTER! THOSE ARE THE SLOWEST PUSH-UPS I'VE EVER SEEN!"
"Oh wait, I know why! YOU'RE DISTRACTED!"
Now she was laughing out loud.
They accidentally kissed in the middle of push-up number fifty.
Both of them stopped moving.
"THAT DOESN'T COUNT AS A REP!" Marshal shouted gleefully. "START OVER FROM ZERO!"
In unison, they all groaned, "NOOOOO!"
After many false starts, they finally finished one hundred and fifty push-ups. Both collapsed on the ground, panting and sweating.
Marshal stood over them victoriously. "Good. Now you're properly warmed up for actual training."
"Time for the REAL exercises to begin."
Both warriors shouted, "WHAT?!" in shock.
