Pressure

As Vale slowly awakened from his slumber, he felt the warmth of the morning sun gently caressing his face.

Blinking away the remnants of sleep, he rose from his bed and proceeded to freshen up, preparing for the day ahead. Donning his neatly pressed uniform, he reflected on the events that transpired the previous day, when he successfully conquered the Ascension Tower.

As soon as he came out of the Tower, he found himself immersed in a flurry of responsibilities as he received the First-Place reward and fielded numerous inquiries about his experiences within the Tower.

However, amidst the chaos, Headmaster Jean and Royal Mage Odessa proved to be invaluable allies. They skillfully averted the onslaught of questions from Arcanists representing various factions and organizations, ensuring that Vale was not overwhelmed.

Following the intense ordeal, Vale was escorted to the infirmary for a thorough check-up to ensure his well-being.
