Aurelius turned to leave, his voice clear and steady. "You have 30 minutes to get to B Block for the match and test."
Kieran nodded, already aware of the upcoming fight with 2nd Division Captain Yamatoa Meruem. Aurelius went on, his voice a bit softer, "You're lucky, you know. It's rare to get a chance to fight Sora in the Arena. Can't even recall the last time he joined an upgrade exam."
"Hearing this, Kieran felt a rush of nerves mixed with a thrill of excitement. Fighting Sora? That's huge, and she was fully aware of it."
"Do your best, but don't worry too much about losing. Stand tall, no matter what happens," Aurelius advised. "Even if you die, it's for a bigger cause."
Now on her own, she exhaled deeply, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement bubbling inside her. 'Time to get ready,' Kieran told herself, feeling a surge of resolve. 'I can't let this chance slip by.'
