First phase of audit

"Wait, what?" I couldn't help but shiver in shock. "Wasn't the audition supposed to start in one more week?" I asked. 

Sure, I could accept it if that was the reality, but wasn't the audition supposed to start a month after the opening test? Even though, in theory, it had nothing to do with Mia and me but was rather focused on the older disciples, I could tell that this would be a time full of tribulations for us. 

"The official version starts a week from now," Vaner nodded his head. "But the unofficial one starts today," he added, correcting my view on the matter. 

"And what's the damn difference?" I couldn't help but ask.
