Claire immediately sat against the damp wall of the sewer as she tried to catch her breath.
'I'm alive…' she thought.
She also noticed that they were already safe, and only the remains of Sentinels surrounded them.
Their mechanical bodies lay scattered across the tunnel floor. It seemed the group had already looted them as well, stripping their weapons and parts before gathering around her.
"Claire… That wasn't Physical Strengthening. What the hell was that?" Ralph muttered.
Before she could answer, Wallace jumped in, unable to contain his excitement.
"That was so cool! You're like a gladiator! I think that cost you something, right? How many Spirit Points do you need to use that? Can you use it again?"
The others surrounded her with their faces filled with curiosity. Yet their expressions weren't marked by anger or betrayal for keeping her real ability a secret.
After all, they had seen her save Terrence, and that was enough for them.
