Chapitre 185: Flames of Retribution

The tension in the arena was palpable as Colin and Adrian stood facing each other.

The trainees filled the stands, their murmurs barely audible over the heavy atmosphere.

While many felt uneasy about Adrian's unstable nature, their concern grew seeing him about to fight against a child.

The veterans watched in silence, their expressions mostly unreadable.

Eratz sat with Mercury and Milo, his jaw tight but his gaze unwavering.

Kaida leaned back with her arms crossed, sitting next to Catarina and Raya, her sharp eyes darting between the fighters.

Ryder slouched near Zara, arms folded, watching intently but keeping a casual front.

Adrian's smirk spread wider as he reveled in the moment.

His gaze flicked toward Eratz, and his voice echoed through the arena.

"We're all good after this, right, Eratz? No hard feelings? This is just a test, after all."

Eratz raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
