Stark, Lana, and Sora stood among the thinning crowd in the academy's lobby, the tension in the air almost palpable after Theodore's announcement
And although this announcement was much quicker than the first since they had already introduced most of the rules already, only needed to inform the students of their task, its difficulty, how to get to it, and the penalty of failure.
But basically, they had just learned about the second trial: The Colosseum, a tower of ten floors where survival depended on defeating increasingly powerful enemies.
Stark stood tall, his eyes scanning the group, and soon enough he found the person he was looking for: Sora!
The white-haired girl spotted him at the same time, and he could swear she ALMOST let out a small smile before going back to her original expression.
Sora was the first to break the silence as she approached them.
