(Rodova Military Academy – The Circuits Team Changing Room)
Following the final selections, Yu Shen gathered the newly assembled Rodova Circuits Team inside the academy's official changing room.
The space, though functional, carried the weight of decades of history, the scent of sweat and polish lingering in the air, as worn-down lockers lined the walls.
The ten members each sat quietly before their assigned lockers, with Leo and Su Yang noticeably occupying two seats that once belonged to familiar faces. Leo sat beneath the nameplate etched with 'Khyaal,' while Su Yang found himself in front of 'Faizan.'
Neither commented on it, yet the room felt it.
Yu Shen paced slowly around the room, arms crossed behind his back, a small but genuine smile softening his otherwise sharp features.
