Our next task when we got to the castle was a one on one ring fight. After the incident with the four boys who had died yesternight, the number of newbies had gone from twenty five to twenty one leaving us all to spar with each other one on one. Edward was out for his torn hand which the mages found difficult to heal. When asked what he used to cut through his palm, he lied saying it was from a thorn bush. I had no clue why he would lie about his magic sword but whatever it was I believed he knew best.
"I wonder how it's going to turn out!" Nia squealed in excitement. Ever since we came back from the forest, she had been excited to jump into the ring. I on the other hand did everything possible to avoid speaking to D. I needed time to reflect on what had happened in the field.
