Chapter 134 - Breaking the Silence (2)

Klaus sat in the circle, his eyes closed, shutting out the murmurs, the whispers, and even the occasional bursts of laughter that rippled through the group of trainees. The sound of Erina Davoss's sharp commands and the crackling energy of elemental demonstrations seemed distant, as though muffled by an unseen barrier. He had sunk deep into himself, his mind blocking out the world around him. The outside chaos faded into a profound silence, leaving him alone with his thoughts and the flow of mana in the air.
