Kapitel 54: Chapter 54

Heavy rain poured down in torrents, pounding the earth with relentless force. The sky was a swirling mass of dark clouds, illuminated only by the occasional streak of lightning that tore across the heavens. Thunder rumbled ominously in the distance, its growls growing louder with each passing second. The air was thick with moisture, the oppressive weight of the storm mirroring the tension that filled the narrow alleyway.

In the dimly lit alley, a boy stood, his black hair plastered to his forehead and neck, soaked through from the relentless downpour. His clothes clung to his lean frame, the self-regenerating academy uniform mending itself in real-time from the damage it had sustained in the brutal fight. Despite its miraculous repair capabilities, his body wasn't so fortunate. Smears of blood streaked his face and arms, remnants of the battle he had been fighting for what felt like hours. His chest heaved with the effort of breathing, each breath labored and shallow.
