"Mhmm?" Vale felt a bit conscious as they seated close to him when the Hall was quite empty with only 14 students in.
The massive Ceremony Hall could probably fit a hundred students at the same time.
'Ahhh…' An idea suddenly came to his mind as he turned to Maya and Leonore and posed a question that had been lingering in his mind, "Are you guys thinking of participating in the Twelve Academies Competition? I mean, do you know how many students will be accepted for that?"
Maya, with her amiable demeanor, didn't mind his inquisitiveness and promptly responded, "If there are no changes in the rules this year, they will select 5 students from each year to represent our academy. And I have every intention of being one of them."
Leonore, known for her quiet confidence, chimed in with a determined tone, "In that case, I'll strive to secure the second spot. The competition will be fierce, but I'm up for the challenge."
