"You will find him in one of the available indoor training facilities."
That was the message that had Aldrich wandering through the training halls of Eldora, searching for the person he was meant to meet. The massive floor was a dedicated space where students honed their Arts, refining their abilities in an environment built for improvement.
"Was it here…?"
He had already searched nearly every room, opening door after door, only to find nothing but empty spaces or students too immersed in their own training to be the person he sought. With each unsuccessful attempt, frustration crept in.
Had the person left already? Maybe they got tired of waiting?
Another thought surfaced? Had he been deceived? Was this Professor Mariana's subtle way of dismissing him? Had she, instead of outright rejecting his request, led him on a futile chase to make him give up on his own?
Aldrich quickly dismissed the idea.
