7th day (part 01)

Elora's point of view:

A few hours passed before Joyce, Neila and I finished discussing all the preparations necessary to put our competition day plan into action.

Leaving the office, what greeted me was the beautiful moonlight that was already high in the sky when I mumbled. "It's past midnight"

Breathing in the cold air, I felt my body relax when I could finally rest.

My day was full of so many things to do and so far I hadn't stopped.

Saying goodbye to Joyce and Neila who were with me so far, I walked back to my room so I could finally go to sleep.

However, despite the busy day, we can also discover many things about 'An Sinnsir'.

Despite being an organization that emerged just ten years ago, their strength and influence in the underworld should not be underestimated, however, on the other hand, they also didn't have much information about us and even what they knew about 'witches' was very shallow compared to our real capacity.

After discovering these two points, we were finally able to adjust our operation more effectively.

Slowly climbing the stairs and walking through the hallways, it didn't take long for me to find a door with a familiar number engraved on it.

With a small smile on my face, I removed the key and entered without any hesitation, before collapsing onto the bed and falling asleep quickly.

Two days passed quickly and nothing new happened.

I got up in the morning full of energy, showered and changed into my blue uniform before heading down to the cafeteria.

Finishing breakfast, as usual, we gathered in the main square to listen to the City Lord's announcements.

"Good morning to all of you once again and I think you are all looking forward to our 7th day of competition officially starting, without further ado I will tell you how it will work"

"As everyone may already know, there will only be five large groups, each group being represented by one of the Academies. The test itself will be a strategic combat where all students will participate and the objective of this test is both to defend and attack their respective territories"

"However, there is a detail that will be totally different from previous tests, which is the time you will have to complete it"

We saw the Lord pause for a moment and I could see a hint of anticipation in his eyes and those of the students around him before he continued.

"The test will last 24 hours and will start at noon today and during these twenty-four hours make sure you don't relax, if not, it could be your downfall"

A distinct glint shone in my eyes as several murmurs erupted from the crowd upon hearing his words which seemed to have a hidden meaning in them.

Smiling slightly, only one thought was in my mind and that of all the students in the main square, "Let the 7th day begin!"
