Adam and Evelyne decided to skip the fourth match to go look for Piers.
Neither of them was particularly interested in watching two random students fight, and frankly both were more concerned about how their friend would be after the public humiliation he had just suffered.
They found him in one of the outer corridors of the coliseum, sitting on a bench with his head lowered and his elbows resting on his knees. His practice sword lay at his side and his uniform was still stained with dirt from the fight.
He looked... defeated.
Evelyne approached first with a worried expression as she sat down beside him without asking permission. "Piers, are you okay?"
"Obviously not," he replied without lifting his head, his voice sounding flatter than usual.
Adam remained standing in front of them with his arms crossed, watching his friend for several seconds before speaking. "You did excellent."
