Before anyone could react, Ash, who had been observing from secretly from a distance, zoomed through the crowd. Seemingly gliding through the crowds, cutting through the air effortlessly. He was suddenly behind Alice, surprising even Mai and Akira. His hand rested on her shoulder. "I believe this belongs to me," he said sharply, reaching for the item from her pocket.

Alice began to tremble, her voice quivering as she stammered out an apology. "I'm so sorry! I didn't realize it was yours. Please, I didn't mean to—"

Instead of bursting out in anger. Ash laughed mockingly. "Who do you think you are, talking to me like we're equals?", his tone dripping with disdain. The friendly demeanor he normally displayed Infront of others before suddenly vanished, replaced by an aura that radiated pure hatred and disgust. His eyes narrowed, and the intensity of his glare made Alice shrink back in fear.

Hana however was unfazed. Instead of being intimidated, her eyes lit up with excitement at the thought of fighting someone like Ash. "Can we spar?" she asked eagerly, her voice filled with joy.

Ash cut her off, his expression cold as before. "What's your rank?" he asked sharply, completely ignoring her request.

Hana blinked, momentarily taken aback, for the first time since the drama started. But before she could respond, Ash's demeanor changed once again. The friendly smile returned to his face, and he laughed lightly. "I'm just playing around," he said, his tone now back to 'normal'.

Mai, standing beside Akira, frowned slightly. She knew that Ash's sudden change in behavior wasn't just him simply 'messing around'.
