Erend was still in the facility. He couldn't bring himself to go home yet when there were several newly awakened candidates in the building whose Magic affinity and talent were still unstable.
If one of them accidentally set something on fire or conjured a tornado in the middle of the night inside the facility, the results could be catastrophic.
That was why he chose to stay.
Not just him. The rest of the security team was also on high alert. Soldiers patrolled the halls in pairs, their boots echoing faintly across the reinforced flooring.
This tightening of security was on Jessica's orders, and she herself was present here refusing to go home as well, personally overseeing the watch shifts.
Adrien, Billy, Thomas, and Conrad, however, decided to head home.
They weren't worried because Erend was here and when Erend was in this alert mode, nothing slipped past him.
