As Lady Arrowstrife watched Kyle train, she understood why he was progressing so quickly when it came to Laws.
Just based on how he managed his Biological Ether, she could tell that he was very good at treading the edge between life and death.
Kyle wasn't in life-threatening danger right now. She knew that he would recover as soon as he stopped running. In the worst-case scenario, Kyle would just keel over, and he would lose consciousness.
At that point, his Biological Ether would work the usual way, and his injuries would heal.
However, many people would feel like they were dying.
Losing consciousness during training also wasn't a great thing. A Seeker learned the Laws of the Body best when they were in a state of extreme exhaustion. If they lost their consciousness, they would need to start their training again and would lose quite some time. After all, they needed to enter the headspace of training again.
Kyle managed to stay in that spot without overstepping.
For most Seekers, this wasn't easy to do.
In general, there were two extremes.
One extreme was the Seekers who simply trained their bodies with moderate intensity. Their Biological Ether dropped, but they generally left 5% to 10% of their Ether untouched in case something went wrong.
One had to remember that this would still be quite strenuous and even painful, but it was still bearable.
However, the way Kyle trained made his body burst and break in several places. Usually, Seekers only felt this kind of pain during a hard battle.
Then, there was the other extreme, which was mostly occupied by power-hungry Seekers or those affected by Sin Flames.
These people literally trained until they lost their consciousness since they believed that more effort always meant better rewards. Although for Seekers with Sin Flames, the reason for their overtraining was mostly that they lost their feeling for pain.
Everything hurt for them all the time, and they simply didn't notice when it got too strong.
Kyle just managed to find the sweet spot and stay on it the entire time.
Additionally, he didn't seem distracted.
Many Seekers had things that occupied their minds.
Their positions in organizations.
Their future plans.
Their families.
Things they still had to do.
Random distracting thoughts due to boredom.
Thoughts of vengeance.
Thinking about the reason why they wanted to become strong during training did not help since it distracted them from the training. Someone filled with a thirst for vengeance would think about their dead family, friends, and how they worked so hard to take revenge.
These thoughts spurred them on and gave them motivation.
Yet, at the same time, any thought not spent on Laws is a thought that didn't contribute to understanding Laws.
In that case, only their body would train but not their mind.
Worries, fears, desires, anticipation, happiness, sadness, regret. All of these things distracted one during training.
Meanwhile, Kyle seemed to not think about other things, as far as Lady Arrowstrife could see.
He just thought about how his body worked and what he was learning.
Almost everyone chased power to fulfill a certain goal. After all, power was a tool just as money was a tool.
People didn't chase money for the money's sake but to buy a house, buy things, a feeling of security, a feeling of status, and so on.
