Chapter 24 - The Plan!

As the Academy Tournament is approaching students are all training for the grand day.

Ayaka's heart pounded with determination as she pushed herself through rigorous training. The Academy Tournament was fast approaching, and she was determined to claim victory. Monologuing her thoughts, she promised herself,

"I won't let anyone beat me."

"I'll show them what I'm truly capable of!"

Her main rivals were Fixia and Georyy, two formidable opponents she knew she had to surpass.

"Fixia and Georyy are the talks in the Academy, everyone is talking about them."

"And I have seen her fight, her fighting style is different from everyone else."

"But I won't let it stop me."

"I will prove my worth and show what I'm capable of."

"I have been observing them from the sidelines, trying to look for thier weaknesses."

"And I will defeat them during the tournament."

...

On the other side, Kaito was training his mind instead of his physical prowess. With a cunning grin, he pondered his strategies.

"Strength isn't everything in this tournament," he mused.

"I'll use my wit and intelligence to outmaneuver my opponents."

"Mind games will be my key to victory."

"The Tournament will be held outside the Academy, in a special location which will be guarded by magic."

"With this no one can interfere with it, and it will also prevent from anyone cheating."

"6 out of 18 matches are where you need to use your brain."

"And I won't be losing in any of it."

...

Meanwhile, Georyy, Fixia, and Sylphia gathered in their secret hideout to discuss their plans. Georyy was enthusiastic as he presented different ideas for reaching the bottom of the platform.

"We can use a flying spell or a mount, but both have limitations," he explained.

"Like spells have a height limit, and mounts can't fly for long period of time in that altitude."

"So we need something different which is more efficient."

Fixia nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, and we don't even know how high the platform is."

"Flying might not be an option if it's too far up."

"And mounts can't stay airborne for too long."

Sylphia looked thoughtful.

"This plan seems impossible."

"We need something which will make us fly, in high altitude and for a long period of time."

"Thinking like this nothing is coming to mind that convenient."

Disappointment hung in the air as they left the hideout, each lost in their thoughts. As they went their separate ways, Sylphia couldn't help but wonder if the quest to reach the bottom of the platform was even worth it.

"What's the point of all this?" she thought,

"What could possibly be waiting for us down there?"

Despite her doubts, Sylphia couldn't shake off the determination to help her friends. As she walked home, she continued to brainstorm, desperately trying to find an alternative approach to their goal. But as she reached her house, her mind was still blank, leaving her frustrated and unsure of their next move.

...

The next day, with a determined glint in her eyes, Sylphia made her way to the grand library of Gawsyphrus. This magnificent library was a treasure trove of knowledge, containing countless books and records from all corners of the continent. Sylphia was here to find answers, to unravel the mysteries of the Quirat Move and discover a way to reach the bottom of the floating platform.

Entering the vast library, she felt a sense of awe and excitement. The shelves were lined with books of various shapes and sizes, each holding a piece of the world's history. Sylphia approached the section that housed the ancient legends, where stories of rare occurrences like the Quirat Move were documented.

She started reading diligently, going through accounts of those fortunate few who had witnessed the Quirat Move in the distant past. The tales were captivating, describing how the floating platforms aligned in a rare celestial event. Each record detailed the rare moments when one platform drifted directly above another.

Time flew as Sylphia immersed herself in these stories, and she could feel a glimmer of hope growing inside her. As the day turned to night, Sylphia reluctantly left the library. Her mind was racing with newfound knowledge and possibilities.

With newfound information from the ancient legends, Sylphia had a glimmer of hope. The records of past attempts to reach the bottom of the platform revealed a common pattern - people had tried climbing high mountains and towers before using flying spells or mounts. But they had all fallen before reaching their destination.

As she delved into her plan, Sylphia gathered Georyy and Fixia at their hideout the next day. Excitement filled the air as she explained her ingenious idea. They listened intently, their eyes widening with amazement. It seemed like the missing puzzle piece they needed to achieve their goal.

They discussed the finer details, meticulously planning their actions once they reached the elusive platform's bottom. What if they encountered enemies or faced unforeseen challenges? They came up with contingency plans to handle any situation that might arise.

The trio felt more confident than ever, ready to execute their plan when the Quirat Move occurred. If the event unfolded as anticipated. With their plan set in motion, they refocused their attention on the upcoming Academy Tournament, which was just a few weeks away. Training became their daily routine, honing their skills and pushing their limits.

As the tournament drew nearer, the three friends found themselves growing closer and forming a bond that went beyond mere companionship.
