RAIDEN'S POV
Let's go back a bit in time—when Will had just finished his 45th match.
It was already late at night by the time I returned to the academy. The campus was quiet, save for the occasional rustling of leaves and the distant hooting of an owl. Most students were likely in their dorms by now, either sleeping or preparing for the next day's lessons.
I didn't bother using the main gate. If the guards saw me sneaking in at this hour, they'd start asking questions—questions I wasn't in the mood to answer. Instead, I slipped through a hidden passage behind the west wall, one I had discovered in my first year. It was narrow and required some maneuvering, but it allowed me to enter the academy undetected.
As soon as I made it inside, I headed straight for the cafeteria.
Not to eat—I had something more important to do.
