That night, when Yohan returned to his room, tired and exhausted, his thoughts drifted to everything that had happened over the past few days.
He had been so focused on chasing Freddie and his gang that he'd lost sight of his true objective: Hatoru.
For now, there was little he could do about that. But the people he had left behind were still waiting for him. He couldn't afford to stall any longer.
If he wanted to end this quickly, and do it right there was only one option left.
He needed to become stronger.

The next day was a weekend, so there were no classes, yet Yohan still went to school. He headed straight for the gym building.
At the entrance, he spotted Chloe standing there, in a sundress and a bag slung over her shoulder.
"Hey, Chloe. Sorry I kept you waiting," he said.
"It's fine," she replied with a bright, friendly smile. "I came early because I was so excited you promised you'd help me pass Professor Kim's class."
