Aldrich clashed with his sister and lover in one of the institute's personalized training chambers as the rest of the first-year cohort was equally engaged, scattered across their designated arenas in an intense struggle to outwit and outmatch rival teams.
Among these groups, a particular matchup drew significant attention. One of the competing teams was spearheaded by Ian Somalder, a name that had surfaced during the harrowing exam set up devised by the second-year students. Ian had been introduced at the time, showing his courageousness to stand against a greater threat, and his lofty brain to be decisive even in the face of emotional consequences.
Facing him on the opposite side of the battlefield was another notable figure: Camelia. She too had made her mark during the same ordeal, having earned respect and recognition for her quick thinking and the pivotal role she played in rescuing Trevor Noah from certain demise.
