Courage to compete

[Mia's POV: ]

"Alright. At last, we are all together."

It was perhaps a miracle that every single person from our house made it to the third round of the competition. 

It was practically unprecedented that all members of a houser had managed to pass the first and the second round of the annual alchemy competition of the Principality, and, even if we just take into consideration that at least two of three people from the other houses from our school could not make it, this achievement had earned us quite a lead from the people of the other houses.

But, this was just the start for us.

"Captain… what are we going to do now?"

"I heard this day would be a completely free competition where the participants, the groups. And the individuals could make anything they wanted depending on the given theme.

I have heard the judgement of this competition will be much more different and difficult from what it usually is."
