A week had passed since the incident outside the barrier. After the event and the revelation about the reason why the Crystal Cross Gang was searching for Erik, it was clear that his friends were a little bit scared that something like that could happen again but tried to stay positive and focus on their training.

Despite everything, the kids were generally chill toward the young man since they knew it wasn't Erik's fault and they were safe inside the Red Palace.

However, all of that made Erik realize many things, which made him change his approach to events. After he was attacked by the five Crystal Cross Gang members and nearly killed because of Nathaniel, the awakener decided he had enough and concluded that all of this happened because he was still weak and needed to train more if he wanted to protect himself and his friends.
