With Aria finishing first in the race, he was now the center of attraction for the entire hangar as well as the Cadets. They were talking about him, and even the Senior Division students felt threatened by Aria's performance.
As this happened, the person in question was lying on the bed, without any means to participate in the final and the most important part of the Tournament; the Combat Division.
'How do I get myself battle-ready?' In his mind, he was thinking of various ways to heal himself, but the only thing he could think of was if the Director helped him.
'Guess, there is no harm in trying?' Thinking so, he immediately contacted the Director and informed him of the situation and the need to get healed.
Previously, after the encounter, the Director had shared his contact information with Aria out of goodwill towards his mysterious expert.
