The break was much needed.
Thanks to the day we all had off, I was finally able to get my thoughts in order. My companions, Edward and Anabelle were released shortly after the Exchange ended for the day, allowing us to walk to our dorms together.
The healing Magic available to Ainzlark Academy had to be impressive, for it to have pulled off such speedy recoveries, especially for Anabelle.
Looking at the girl, it didn't appear as though she had been injured during her match. In any case, after the Exchange for the day, I decided it was best we all occupied ourselves with personal affairs.
I left Anabelle and Edward to themselves since I couldn't afford to be distracted by anything. The match before me was that serious.
I felt like if I didn't give it my all the one who was going to lose would be me!
And so, during the break, I tempered my resolve and harnessed my skills. Going over all I had learned in the previous matches, I prepared myself for the worst.
