Once I arrived at the academy, I took a much-needed bath and then settled down for a nap. It had been a long day, and I was feeling exhausted. The only time I had felt truly alive was when I had met Layla earlier.
When I woke up a few hours later, I put on my tracksuit and did some stretches. I was going to fight Ronald Trueheart, and I needed to be as comfortable as possible. The match was scheduled for 8 p.m., and I wasn't late yet.
As I walked out of the dormitory, I saw several other students leaving as well. They were undoubtedly heading to the stadium, where my friendly match against Ronald would be held. It was a highly anticipated event that no one wanted to miss.

"No problem. I feel really good," I replied confidently. Perhaps it was an after-effect of Maria and Seraphina's healing, but I was more than ready to take on Ronald.
