Mark and Lena's Struggle

After eliminating the group of students who had tried to ambush him, Aiden continued making his way toward the final meeting point, where the tournament's decisive showdown would take place.

He moved swiftly through the forest, his senses heightened as he knew that the timer reached a critical moment.

The forest was alive with the sounds of rustling leaves and distant cries, a reminder of the fierce competition surrounding him.

As he approached a clearing, Aiden paused for a moment, scanning the area for any signs of movement.

The shadows played tricks with his eyes, but he could sense that he was not alone. The tension in the air was palpable, and he could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

"Who's here? No need to keep hiding. I know you're here," Aiden called out, his voice steady and confident as he tried to bait the person lurking in the shadows into revealing themselves.
