Auction [ I ]

Early morning, Saturday.

I woke up feeling well-rested and energized.

I ate breakfast, showered and even went out for a light workout.

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the air was crisp.

The Academy was also quieter than usual, with most students choosing to sleep in on the weekend.

Although the war with Demons was almost imminent, most were at the age where they didn't have a care in the world. They were too young to fully comprehend the whole situation. Such is the bliss of ignorance.

If I hadn't been forcefully transported to this world against my will, I might have been one of them - carefree and oblivious to the impending dangers.

Unfortunately or not, I was.

I sighed, pushing those thoughts aside. There were more pressing matters at hand.
