(Rodova Military Academy, Physical Training Grounds)
Academy life resumed as usual for Leo the next day, as he slipped back into the familiar rhythm of lectures, drills, and endless training.
However, one thing did change, which was that Su Yang seemed to be actively avoiding him now.
Whether it was the morning endurance runs where they usually pushed each other stride for stride, or the partner drills in Practical Combat Class where they always ended up facing off —Su Yang kept his distance today, as he paired up with others, and outright ignored Leo when they crossed paths.
Leo noticed his odd behaviour, of course.
But he didn't push.
He figured it was better to let Su Yang cool off in his own time, rather than force a confrontation that would only make things worse.
And besides, Leo had other priorities occupying his mind now.
