The children from Blanks were gathered in the preparation area while they warmed up for the upcoming battle. Kael was already moving his arms and shoulders around with an excited expression, while Seraphina stood quietly to the side. Lucien checked his equipment carefully, and Lena calmly adjusted her clothes while Raymond watched all of them.
Raymond nudged them one by one and reminded them to stay focused. "Don't waste your energy before the battle starts. We don't know what kind of opponents we will face, so keep yourselves prepared."
Kael nodded reluctantly while the others also followed his words. Raymond looked around and made sure everyone was ready before he relaxed slightly.
However, it didn't take long before someone approached them. A young man with neatly combed brown hair stared at Lena for a moment before walking closer. He looked at her from head to toe before asking about her with a confident expression, clearly expecting her to recognize him.
