GRADUATION

LUO YAN sat in his seat, feeling a bit bored and sleepy as the principal began the opening remarks of the graduation ceremony. He glanced around at his classmates, all in their school uniforms, and stifled a yawn.

The principal's speech about their journey and the future ahead seemed to drag on, and Luo Yan found it hard to pay attention. His mind wandered to the Arcadia Cup's final tournament that would happen next week. Thinking of it made him feel less sleepy. He shifted in his seat, wishing the speeches would end soon so they could move on to the more exciting parts of the ceremony.

He glanced back to the area where family members of the graduating students were seated, and he immediately saw his father and brothers sitting at the forefront. Yu Jiao's mother was sitting beside Luo Ren.
