Fighting An Off-worlder

Leo spent the entire day resting, as Tatiana had advised. His body had mostly healed from the brutal training session with Elda, but his mind wasn't at ease.

The lingering question gnawed at him: Who was the Off-worlder he would have to fight?

Tatiana hadn't told him, which only added to his frustration. Knowing her, if she wanted him to know, she would have told him already. Still, he couldn't shake the curiosity—and the anxiety.

The day passed uneventfully. Ves, Miguel, and Mia were out training and leveling again, and Fiona had taken the wolves to continue hunting and leveling. The base felt empty. The silence left Leo alone with his thoughts.

Ves had told him the day before that all three of them—herself, Miguel, and Mia—had reached level 20. He was genuinely happy for them, but when Ves shared her evolution requirements, Leo had sighed heavily.
