Preparation

Damian didn't usually like crowds or people watching his battles, but this time, it worked to his advantage.

If they were masked and robed, it was clear that they wanted to keep their faces and identity hidden, so seeing the crowd, they wanted to turn back.

Seeing that Milo had already made it to the academy with the items they were meant to steal, and Damian, who they weren't allowed to harm, in their way, the two figures looked at each other and reached a mutual understanding.

Both of them swung their arms down before Damian could fire another arrow and smoke engulfed the area as Damian prepared himself for a sneak attack, but after a few seconds, the smoke cleared and the two figures had disappeared.

After looking around and making sure that he couldn't be suddenly attacked, Damian placed his bow back over his shoulder and jogged over to the western academy gate where Milo was trying to persuade the guards to help Damian.
