Shocks Everyone

There was no line before the Gravity Training Center. Just as Arix was about to walk straight in, Virtanen stopped her with his hand.

Arix looked at Virtanen, puzzled, as she hadn't seen him stop any other students just before her.

Virtanen felt a bit awkward under Arix's gaze. He coughed and said casually, "Arix. Remember, safety first, and don't push yourself too hard."

"Okay," Arix replied obediently. She was a bit confused but sensed no malice from the instructor.

"Go ahead," Virtanen said.

He watched Arix enter the Gravity Training Center, silently cheering her on and whispering to himself, "After all, whether I sleep in the bed or the hallway tonight depends on you."
