Their Feelings

The winner of The Tournament of Field Cloth of Five Arcaneblade had been decided, and cheers once again filled Flavium, accompanied by the academy's marching band singing its hymn.

Allen was declared the winner, and with that, he claimed all of Percival's points, giving him enough to challenge the tenth floor.

"That kid really won his match," said Kethryllia, the former president of the student executive board, seated beside Felicia on the special platform along with the academy's teachers.

"That means I won't have to use any of my plans to bring down Percival." Kethryllia thought. "According to Felicia, Allen is eager to reach the tenth floor, which means sooner or later, I'll be the new holder of the academy's top-ranking points."

Kethryllia glanced at Felicia, who was standing slightly, watching Allen with a deeply worried expression.

"Pardon me, Miss Kethryllia, I'll be right back!" Felicia said before rushing off.
