Chapter 589: Lifted Above the Crowd
"Look over there," Ronan said, pointing towards the crowd.
Orion followed his line of sight.
It took him a second to find her.
Sophia.
She was near the end of the chaos, swallowed by bodies taller and broader, her smaller frame barely visible between shoulders and cloaks.
She jumped.
Once.
Twice.
Again.
Orion blinked.
Then chuckled under his breath.
"She can't see anything," he murmured.
Ronan snorted.
"And that's not going to stop my sister-in-law," he said. "She almost looks like a cute bunny with the jumping."
"Almost," Orion said with a laugh.
Sophia jumped again, stretching on her toes, trying to peer over the sea of people in front of her.
It was entirely futile.
The trainees were relentless—pushing, shifting, craning their necks, calling out names and scores. Those in front had no intention of moving anytime soon, too absorbed in their own results to care about the chaos behind them.
