Every student in the academy needed to do at least one duel. The number could go more than that; everyone had at least one.
Though, on average, the number was two duels for each student, there were rare cases in which the two people appointed each other as the duel application.
This was exactly how it was for Irina. After all, from the moment the finals started, both Seraphina and she were adamant about appointing each other.
Otherwise, it would be a clear act of disregard. No matter how hot-blooded Irina was or how annoying and scheming Seraphina was, at the end of the day, both of them couldn't afford to make such claims with their own actions.
Therefore, both of them appointed each other.
And, because of the importance of their duel, it was postponed until the end of the week, which left Irina with a lot of free time.
She only needed to train. One would think she would train for the duel specifically, but there wasn't any reason for that.
