The scene shifted.
Back in his dormitory room Eric sat on the edge of his bed.
The adrenaline from the day's shocking events in the cafeteria was slowly ebbing away. It left a profound sense of exhaustion in its wake.
The [System Window] hovered silently before him. It was providing a detailed if somewhat curated summary of what had just transpired in the Red Team's infirmary after Cian and Samba had woken up.

The punishment it had orchestrated for the Red Team members who had harassed Ryan was not just about revenge. It was a strategic move. It was a clear message to all the other factions in the Academy.
He was slowly almost reluctantly beginning to adapt to this new reality. He was beginning to accept that the [System Window] could and would handle these complex dangerous matters on its own.
