85 85 : Final Preparations before Competition

In the early hours of the morning, when the first light of dawn is just beginning to break the horizon, Eric stood on the hill peak enjoyed the first rays of guardian sun rays.

He went inside after Ria called him and began assisting Ria in donning her Pink Jade armor. The armor, a masterpiece of craftsmanship, shimmered with a soft, ethereal glow in the dim light of the room.

"Let's make sure every piece is adjusted properly," Eric said with a meticulous eye, adjusting the armor's straps and buckles. "Don't think about armor while fighting. Just feel it as another layer of your body. If you feel any discomfort tell me right away. Understand?"

Ria, standing patiently as Eric fitted the armor, nodded in agreement. "You don't need to worry. This armour is super comfortable."
