Bright.
Too bright.
The moment my feet touched solid ground again, the sun nearly blinded me. Leora teleportation magic always do that.
I groaned, lifting a hand to shield my eyes as I blinked rapidly, adjusting to the sudden change in scenery.
No more dense trees. No more shadows. No more damp forest floor.
We were back. Back to somewhere normal where nobody was going to attack you for no reason, no monster, only people.
And judging by the sheer number of people standing around, it looked like every student even those eliminated had been teleported here too.
I let my gaze sweep over the crowd, taking in the familiar and unfamiliar faces.
Some looked exhausted.
Some looked depressed.
Some looked like they were questioning every life choice that led them to this moment.
And others like me were just glad it was over. It was too long even only for 3 days and I was actually wondering where Alicia was.
