[Mind Tower - First Floor]
The Mind Tower was a massive structure that dominated the northern section of the training center, built from dark stone that seemed special.
The moment Damian and Helena stepped through the entrance, dozens of eyes turned toward them.
The first floor was massive, easily capable of holding hundreds of people.
General Icarus stood at the front beside Zara, both of them facing the gathered candidates.
Among the crowd, three figures stood slightly apart from the others.
Regulus Blackwood, arms crossed over his chest, his frame towering over everyone nearby.
Sicar Verratoux, standing with perfect posture and watchful gaze.
And the Sword Demon whose hand rested casually on his blade's hilt, his expression completely blank.
Whispers spread through the crowd the moment they noticed Damian.
"He's here already? Weren't his injuries severe?"
"Leg and arm seemed to have been attached."
