Seojun raised his hand calmly, stopping the rising tension. "Before that," he said, looking at both Nathan and Elshienne, "you two need to adapt to the gravity inside the Ethereal Ground. It's different from here. Your duel will be in two days."
Nathan nodded seriously. "Alright."
Yoora smirked confidently, placing her hands on her hips. "Good. You better prepare, Nathan. I'm one of the top Awakeners in this academy."
Just then, a new voice interrupted them. "I'm joining."
Everyone turned their heads toward the voice.
Sion walked toward the group, hands in his pockets, his usual bored expression on his face. He stopped in front of Seojun and met his eyes, his tone casual but direct.
"I already know a lot. You want me to keep quiet, right?"
The air between Seojun and Sion grew tense as they stared at each other in silence. It felt like an eye-staring contest between two people who knew more than they let on.
