The next day, everyone was excited for the results of the competition. Even those who were not able to pass the first to third round.
Andromeda felt charged up. She was so happy and excited to test her abilities. She bathed and dressed up with their usual uniform then asked Sarah to dry her hair.
They went to the dining hall. Andromeda felt the happiness of seeing the tables full of foods. She missed it.
Andromeda even forgot about her problem with Hawk and sat beside him. This caused Hawk to almost accidentally swallow his food without chewing.
'I am not certainly prepared for this. Don't tell me she actually forgot! She is completely ignoring me and she is so focused on her food. Has it been a day that Andromeda did not eat here? She looks like she missed meals for a whole month!' Hawk sighed and nervously ate his food.
'Are they fine now?' Priscilla from the other table wondered. She shrugged her thought and focused on eating.
Oliver on Priscilla's side looked at Andromeda with eyes full of determination. He pledged that even though Andromeda is just a kid, he will surely beat her.
Just when Hawk thought he will have a peaceful meal despite having Andromeda close to him, Andromeda looked at him. Her eyes were pleading that is so unlikely for Andromeda to do unless...
Andromeda placed slices of carrots on his plate without breaking the eye contact.
Andromeda still has not remembered her issue with Hawk.
Hawk felt hopeless for Andromeda's case. He ate the carrots that Andromeda transfered from her plate. 'These are half-cooked.' He thought.

Everyone was present on the arena.
The old man who killed the stray beast had a sharp look on him. He planned on finding the culprit after this tournament. He was aching for the truth but he did not want to cancel the event.
There are only eight competitors left. Namely: Oliver, Priscilla, and Gary from class A; Hawk, Andromeda, and Faust from class B; Geronimo and Warren from class C; none from both class D and E.
The order of fights is.
1. Oliver vs Faust
2. Priscilla vs Geronimo
3. Hawk vs Gary
4. Andromeda vs Warren
The winners will advance to the next round.
Oliver and Faust went inside the arena. They bowed to each other as a sign of respect. The large gong was hit and the fight begun.
Oliver's magic is sword creation. Countless swords appeared out of nowhere and rained into the ground. Faust is strong and fast but against those swords, he could never dodge. The competition was decided quickly. Oliver won.
The next fight is between Priscilla and Geronimo. Geronimo was the weirdo Priscilla teamed up with during the second event and fought against during the third.
Geronimo thought that Priscilla's ability is only her Potion-making. He grinned from ear to ear. He immediately brought out his notebook and wrote something in it.
"Strip her clothes." The words he wrote.
Geronimo's ability is to cast magic spells and tricks by writing his command on his notebook and then throwing it on his opponent.
Priscilla was aware of that. She used [Ice Magic] to create a barrier between her and Geronimo. The paper was stuck on the ice.
There is a downside to Geronimo's ability. If his magic did not affect his opponent or his magic is hindered, the effects will come back to him. This caused Geronimo to panic. 'Impossible. I did not know she could use other magics, too.'
The crowd let out a disgusted look when Geronimo stripped up. He ran away from the arena with shame and frustration.
