Gary started to distance himself from the group and the others hardly ever saw him outside of training. When he came back to the room each night, he would always be covered in sweat. Sometimes, Ray would spot him at the training ground, practising.
The others had bugged Dan many times about the contents of the letter petsering to give up the details of what was inside and eventually, he gave in and told the rest. Now that everyone knew Gary was going through a tough time, they decided to give up on bothering him, allowing him the space and time to rest and rediscover himself.
But to be honest, everyone was pretty busy themselves. The Avrion Academy Tournament was only a month away. There were a lot of prizes up for grabs, but only the top five people could go on to take part in the All Kingdom Tournament.
