As Ryan led Draven through the corridors, the buzz of excited chatter among the students filled the air. Draven's ears perked up when he overheard snippets of conversations discussing the upcoming grand combat tournament. The anticipation and curiosity in their voices intrigued him.
"The grand combat tournament is just around the corner! I'm curious who's going to participate this year.
"I hope some of the talented students from our year sign up. It's always thrilling to watch their incredible skills in action."
Draven's interest was piqued. The grand combat tournament could potentially be a platform where Moonblade would reveal themselves or use it to their advantage. His mind raced with possibilities, contemplating how this event might be connected to his mission.
