Lyra couldn't contain her excitement. She paced around the grand hall of the mansion, her eyes gleaming with enthusiasm as she spoke with the other girls. The news of the tournament had struck like a bolt of excitement. It wasn't just a competition; it was an opportunity to show everyone how much they had improved, what they had trained for.
"Finally, I'll be able to show off my new skills!" Lyra exclaimed, her voice full of energy. "This tournament is just what I needed."
Aracne, who was nearby, watched Lyra with a shy smile on her face. Despite the contagious excitement of the girls, she couldn't help but feel a bit out of place. Although she had been accepted into the group, she was still dealing with insecurities about her non-human appearance. She was making progress, slowly feeling more comfortable with herself.
Meanwhile, Yassmin approached, her usual calm demeanor contrasting with the excitement in the air.
