Chapter 446
It has been three days now since the incident with Mada and Grey at the canteen. During this time, Grey was banned from stepping foot inside, though Ray always managed to sneak back some portion of food for him, even if it meant risking punishment himself.
Grey, however, hardly cared about the food. He poured all of his attention into training. Day after day, he could be found in the training room, swinging his sword through the air over and over again.
His body was always drenched in sweat, his muscles sore, yet he never slowed down. He trained like a man obsessed, his focus unshakable, as though each swing carried the weight of a promise.
Sometimes Thalos joined in as a sparring partner, other times he just sat to the side, wings folded and arms crossed, watching with little interest, as though none of it concerned him.
"You know, what you did a few days ago was quite foolish," Thalos commented dryly.
