Northern watched as the next few fights unfolded, taking particular note of the student council matches. He also observed Kaelan and his sister's battle with interest. Though neither of them were part of the student council, their popularity rivaled its members.
Few students at the academy hailed from noble houses while also possessing formidable strength without being affiliated with the council. Northern had seen a handful of them, with Aster providing insight into their backgrounds. He had also carefully noted their abilities.
While everyone displayed unique talents, he felt no regret in choosing Eclipsing Dread. More than anything, he wanted to evolve—to push the talent to its full potential.
Arms folded, Northern let out a quiet sigh as the final match concluded. It was his turn to step onto the stage once again. He had two scheduled fights today, but he intended to participate in only one before returning to Lithia.
'Tomorrow is going to be hectic.'
