Athen had always lived a solitary life, as without any family or friends, he struggled to survive in his poor, forgotten hometown. The only escape from this grim reality came in the form of tales of magic told by rare visitors from the distant capital.

That was, until one day, Athen discovered that magic wasn't just a dream. It was within him.

With his newfound power, Athen completed a desperate heist, stealing a priceless diamond. But his triumph was short-lived when he realized the diamond was a fake.

Yet... what seemed like a cruel trick turned out to be a blessing in disguise, for the fake diamond held the key to unlocking Athen’s greatest desire: the chance to truly learn magic.

Slowing down despite the massive fireball being only a few steps away from him, Athen confusedly glanced around.

For the last ten seconds, the only words that had been echoing in his brain were:

"MAKE IT TO THE INTERSECTION AND DODGE"

"DON'T LET THE FIREBALL CATCH YOU!"

However, now, all those thoughts had suddenly disappeared

Raising his hand and quite literally scratching his head in confusion as the fireball got closer and closer to him, Athen fully halted a couple of meters away from the intersection ahead.

This place he was in...it wasn't real.

An empty coliseum like this would require millions of coins to build, so Athen doubted that they would build one just for a professor test.

From Kai's map, Athen had only seen one coliseum located within the confines of the academy, and its layout was completely different.
