Eileen Caldwell had always been the epitome of a laid-back individual. From her early years to her teens, her passion for leisure rivaled that of any professional napper. School was merely a necessary inconvenience, and she found herself comfortably situated at the bottom of her class hierarchy, much to the chagrin of her teachers and the bemusement of her peers.

Gone were the days of lounging around without consequence; instead, Eileen found herself thrust into a destiny she could scarcely have imagined.

This newly activated system, with its stern mandate against idleness, revealed to Eileen her true potential: she was destined to become one of the most formidable mages the world had ever seen. No longer could she while away the hours in blissful ignorance; instead, she was called upon to harness her latent magical abilities and rise to the challenge that lay before her.

The sunlight streamed through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor as Zaya and I ventured deeper into the woods. We moved cautiously, alert for any signs of other students or potential threats.

As we walked, Zaya kept glancing at me, a curious smile playing on her lips. "You handled yourself well last night," she said. "You didn't panic."

I shrugged, trying to downplay my nervousness. "Well, it helped that you were there to keep me calm."

She chuckled. "It was a team effort."

We continued through the forest, the sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling creating a serene backdrop. But the tranquility was abruptly shattered when two figures burst out from behind a cluster of trees, charging straight at us. I barely had time to register the ambush before I was forced to react.
