Alex wasn't aware of what happened in the tournament because he immediately fell asleep after lying on his bed. Fortunately, he awoke the next morning just in time for the match that would lead to the semifinals.
His body felt very heavy, but he endured it and walked alongside Priscilla, and Finn. Adrian and Mike had been eliminated in the match yesterday and only the three of them advanced to the next round.
Minerva looked calm on the surface, but deep inside she was feeling anxious.
As if sensing her Master's worry, Priscilla tried to cheer her up by proclaiming that she would become the champion of the tournament.
Minerva just smiled and patted Priscilla's while telling her to do her best.
Out of the thousands of contestants that fought at the start of the tournament, only seventeen remained. When this day was over, only nine of them would advance.
