Akira did not plan on wasting time after leaving Mountain Ridge. She wanted to begin her search for Kaito as soon as possible to prevent the trail he left from running cold. However, when she got to the Immortal Sword Valley, she was exhausted and mentally drained.
She decided to take a short nap in her suite to clear her mind before doing anything.
Unfortunately, she underestimated her level of tiredness. When she woke up again, it was already morning. She felt disoriented at first because of the familiar yet unfamiliar environment. And then, the events of the previous day hit her.
She groaned as she stood up from the bed and headed to the bathroom for a shower. The cold morning reminded her of the days when she lived in the valley as a trainee and an agent when she was not out for missions. The only difference was that she did not have to go through morning drills or follow a timetable.
