Seira and Clara both stepped back at the same time, clearly rejecting Mersha's elixir.
Clara raised both hands immediately, shaking her head fast. "No, no, no… we already drank that every morning. Why do we have to suffer again now?"
Seira nodded as well, fully agreeing. "Exactly. Once a day is enough. We don't need it twice a day."
Rachel stood right in front of them and snorted lightly. "Yeah, it's enough for Valtor and Dahlia… but for you two…"
She raised a finger and shook it slowly. "It's not enough."
Her gaze sharpened slightly. "You two are some of the best disciples here. That means you need to grow stronger faster."
She picked up Mersha's elixir and shook it gently. "The dosage from this morning wasn't enough. So this time… I'm increasing it."
Rachel turned her head toward Mersha and gave a direct order. "Mersha. Do it. Force them to drink it."
Mersha immediately grinned, her eyes lighting up. "Yes, Elder Rachel… I'll do exactly what you order me to."
