Just like Ivara predicted, the Trials resumed the next day as if nothing happened. But it was clear the incident still left a bitter taste to the students as some had decided to not go out for the remaining duels scheduled.

Aiden, Adrian, and Sevan sat together, watching the matches with varying degrees of interest.
Aiden kept his eyes trained on the arena, but his mind, as always, was busy prodding on some clues about the culprit. Though he does know already it was Karro, there is no guarantee that a student could be helping him. And that student is Emmeranne.
