(Rodova Military Academy, Next Morning, The Transport Bay)
Leo wasn't all smiles and chuckles like the rest of the team the next morning, as unlike them, he had not enjoyed a peaceful sleep.
Instead, he remained calm and composed, as though the events of the previous night had firmly reminded him of what was truly at stake at the circuits.
His family was out there—waiting, hoping, perhaps suffering—and just recalling the hell they had endured to save him, Leo finally understood why he was doing all of this.
'Mother… Please stay safe. I'm doing my best—' Leo thought to himself, as he quietly boarded the transport vehicle that was set to carry the entire team to the circuits.
Onboard the ship, apart from the ten-man team, Rodova Military Academy had dispatched a small supporting entourage — six medical staff, four doctors, Professor David, Instructor Hen, and Instructor Muiyan Faye.
