The hug lasted longer than Lea expected.
It seemed almost as if Emily had no intention of letting her go when Adrian coughed to remind Emily that he existed as well.
That sent Emily reeling away, and she had an embarrassing flush on her face when she looked at Adrian next.
"S-So, when will the next round start? Do you have any idea what it will be about?"
Lea asked as she tried to avoid looking at Lea's face, but the amused expression on Lea's face did not fade away for even a second/
"Hmmm, let me guess. Since more than half the people had been eliminated because of this round, the first selection round would be skipped. I am sure that the direct hunt will start in the next few hours."
The speakers went live when Lea finished speaking, and Zero's voice washed over everyone.
"Attention, everyone; it is time for me to announce what we will do next. I hope you are all prepared for our next event - the actual hunt."
