CHAPTER 15 A Dance of Blades

　　Emily's Pov

　　Throughout the morning, Benson and I stayed with my father and uncle in the observation room, watching the groups train. I'm impressed by the new area the sorcerers created for this type of training. They formed a ten-thousand-square-meter tropical forest. It was tense, with dense vegetation and magic-modified creatures. Each group faced different challenges to reach the end of the test. Not every group managed to finish within the specified time.

　　Before returning to the observation room, Benson and I talked. We discussed being vigilant about my father's security and Jimmy's presence. However, I hadn't encountered Jimmy during the morning. I was informed that Jimmy was organizing the individual tests, not the group ones. Nina was nowhere to be found in the arena either.

　　"Dad, have you seen Nina by any chance?" I ask with a concerned expression. David, my father, furrows his brow thoughtfully.
