Be he didn't give up until he stumbled upon a sword that drastically changed his fate.
As Ethan turned to leave the platform, Lloyd's voice, raw with frustration and hurt, cut through the silence. "Why, Ethan?" he called out, his voice unsteady. "Why did you abandon us? Why did you just… walk away?"
Ethan paused, glancing back over his shoulder, his expression unreadable but his eyes steady. He seemed to weigh his response before speaking, his voice calm and resolute. "I came to this Academy because of someone," he said, each word slow and deliberate, "and you aren't that person."
The answer hit Lloyd like a punch, his face paling as the reality of Ethan's words sank in. There was a flash of pain in his eyes, mixed with disbelief, as Ethan's indifference left him with no closure, only more questions. Without another word, Ethan strode off the platform and returned to his place among the top students, his demeanor as composed as ever.
