Day 2

Wovi fluttered beside him, equally stunned. "Wuxie, what was that?"

Before Wuxie could answer, the demon regained his composure, a look of determination in his eyes. "This isn't over, boy. We'll meet again, and next time, you won't be so lucky."

With that, the demon vanished into the shadows, leaving Wuxie and Wovi standing in the alley, the echoes of the encounter still reverberating around them.

Wuxie exhaled slowly, the adrenaline fading. "What just happened?"

Wovi landed on his shoulder, his expression serious. "It seems there's more to you than meets the eye, Wuxie. We need to be careful."

Wuxie nodded, his mind racing. "Let's get back to the academy. I need to figure out what's going on with me."

As they continued their journey, the atmosphere was tense, but their bond remained strong. They teased each other about the encounter, trying to lighten the mood.
