At first, Alex thought that she was doing some stretching, which caused her to yelp in pain from the
soreness in her legs. However, after further observation, he noticed that something wasnât right
Claire wasnât yelping from the pain from stretching, but it was because she had overdone her yoga
position.
Her body couldnât handle this much stretching, basically hurting herself and straining her hamstring. It
was as if someone had twisted her muscles using magic.
As expected, after holding that position for quite a while, Claire could no longer bear the pain and
started crying for help.
Alex approached her and immediately got down on one knee, applying pressure on her legs with his
hands.
âHuh?â
Claire then noticed the man who appeared before her and that his hands were on her thighs. She froze
up, terrified until she realized that it was Alex.
She let out a sigh of relief. âAlex, you came here just in time. I think Iâm getting cramps in my legs,
please help me up.â
Alex shook his head. âYou canât get up just yet. It could be harmful.â
âHuh? I⦠what happened to me?â
âYou pulled your hamstrings, so if you stand up now, youâd just hurt yourself even more. Just do as I
say, use your hands, and press them on your legs. Just stay in this position for a bit while I help you
repair your hamstrings.â
âOkay, okay!â Claire agreed.
With this, Alex grabbed onto one of Claireâs hamstrings and pinched, squeezed, and slid his hands
down her thigh abruptly.
âArgh!â Claire screamed. It was indeed rather painful for her.
Alex stared at her. âDonât move. Thereâs still one more.â
With swift movements, he pressed down on her other leg and did the same to it. In just a few seconds,
Claire regained mobility and sat up in a panic. âThank you, Alex, or I wouldnât know what Iâd do.â
Alex still wasnât used to how polite she was to him. He said, âYou donât need to do yoga. Youâre pretty
healthy.â
Claire replied. âI think yoga will be good for me, though. Look how skinny Iâve become now!â
âSkinny?â
Alex looked into her with his Third Eye and checked her pulse. Through that, he finally understood what
actually happened.
âMom, you didnât get skinnier from doing yoga. It was because you have been eating spiritual riceâ¦â
After saying this, Alex came up with an idea. Since the problems with the ancient realm were starting to
worsen, Claire and Beatrice, who were weak, might drag both him and Dorothy down if something big
were to happen.
He didnât expect them to be extremely powerful masters. All he wanted was for them to at least be
capable of defending themselves for the time being.
