And with that, Aries started noticing the people around him, realizing just how much he truly stood out.
Some warriors entered wearing proper attire, like the sensible people he had seen before, but others wore barely anything, just a thong around their waists, much like the warriors from the Tiger Kingdom. The outlines of their bodies were unmistakably visible, their chests bare and their lower regions outlined sharply by the cloth.
Aries felt a flush of heat rise to his face as they all moved through the hall.
Some were chatting with friends, others wore stoic expressions, and a few smiled casually. There were young warriors, older ones, and those who seemed to be just… there.
His eyes roamed over each person, analyzing them carefully. Curiosity swelled in him as he tried to make sense of the scene. From the layout and the warriors' behaviors, it seemed similar to a modern barracks—a place where an army resides and trains.
