As Alex and the others arrived at the training area, Adrian's request for a quick spar to test their skills caught them off guard. Mixed feelings swirled within each of them at the suddenness of the request.
While it was only natural to assess their capabilities, facing a 2 versus 5 situation like they were now was unexpected. Adrian, however, seemed confident in his decision, his demeanor indicating a purpose behind the unconventional matchup.
Alex couldn't shake the feeling that Adrian must have had some inkling of their strength, especially considering the formidable reputation of Alex and Bella alone.
With the addition of the other three, who likely ranked among the top in their respective classes, it was reasonable to assume that they were facing a formidable opponent.
