After Adrian and Ren's match ended, the individual combat competition continued with the senior years' matches.
Since Adrian didn't have any events left for today, he left the Arena and started returning to his dorm.
As Adrian left the bustling arena behind, he felt a familiar presence trailing him. He didn't need to look back to know who it was. Instead, he continued walking, his steps measured and purposeful, until he reached a secluded spot away from prying eyes and ears.
He stopped in a quiet, deserted courtyard, the tall walls providing a sense of isolation. The evening sun cast long shadows, creating an almost surreal atmosphere. Adrian stood still, waiting, his senses heightened as he felt the presence approaching.
