Daylan was left restless by the news Bruce delivered—not because he feared the duel, but because of the tone and expression Bruce used. It was as if Bruce held a personal grudge against him and had finally found the perfect chance to unleash it.
He trained intensively throughout the day, using every attack he could think of to counter Lieutenant Bruce's ability.
However, he trained all through the night, unaware of how quickly it passed him by.
Exhaustion finally took over, and he collapsed to the floor, drifting into sleep the moment he hit the ground.
Barely three hours into his sleep, Medora walked into the training room. She gave him a calm yet disappointed look as he lay carelessly on the ground, then shook her head. Stepping closer, she gently woke him up.
Rubbing his eyes as he woke, Daylan felt Medora take his hand and pull him to his feet. "It's almost time for your duel. Lieutenant Bruce will be here any moment now," she said.
