"So, what happened?" Seris asked with an eager expression.
"Well-" Orion went on to explain everything that happened prior to now.
Within a few minutes, Orion finished explaining all the info they’d gotten and his thoughts on them, with Seris reacting every few seconds like he expected.
"Wow, you both went through all that in less than an hour," Seris asked with a surprised expression.
"Yes, it really didn’t take long, but it was an amusing way to pass the ti," Orion replied.
"So now she owes you both 5000 points," Seris said.
"Yes, she does," Orion confird.
"Good for her, to resort to duping seniors, truly despicable," Seris said with a shake of her head.
Orion was mildly surprised, for so reason, he was kind of expecting Seris to argue or beg for him to forgive them.
"Alright, so what do we do now?" Seris asked with a finger on her chin.
"Well, it’s currently past 9 in the morning, we have a lot of ti to prep for tomorrow," Caelum said.
"And how do we do that?" Seris asked, turning to Caelum.
"From what we’ve learnt, all the trials so far have included physical combat, so we can practice and train for tomorrow," Caelum said.
"True, but I’ve trained so much at ho, I’m not really interested in doing that now," Seris said with a sigh.
"Sa," Orion agreed.
"Great, so let’s have fun!!" Seris shouted, a wide smile on her face.
Orion just sighed. He wondered why the academy had provided them so much free ti. Then again, maybe a single day wasn’t that much; ti was relative after all.
Fun aside, he was sure he would be fine for the test; he’d seen Seris’ status earlier, and for a ten-year-old, she was pretty tough. It’d be very hard to beat soone like her; then again, he doubted the test was going to be purely about strength.
He turned to the twins and activated ETF.

’They have innate skills, different but similar. They’re twins, so it’s not that surprising, but all in all, they should be fine.’ Orion concluded in his mind.
And so they spent the rest of the day goofing off. At so point, other mbers of their set arrived, and true to Seris’ nature, she approached, and they made so new friends.
Orion was quite surprised he hadn’t found any non-amicable person from his set so far; he half expected so arrogant one, especially from people who were lucky enough to find themselves in Magnum 1.
Still, he wasn’t fooled by their smiles or gestures; tomorrow was going to be every man for themselves, and no amount of closeness would guarantee success.
At around 4 pm, they finally decided to call it a day, everyone planning on carrying out any last-minute ritual before they stood before the jury tomorrow.
Seris and Selene said their goodbyes, Seris with her enthusiastic wave and Selene with her small bow.
Orion had done his best to explain and reason with Selene as he did with Caelum, and luckily, she had agreed to, according to her ’Relegate’ to being friends.
Orion and Caelum found their way back to their dorms.
By the ti Orion arrived at his room, he noticed the place had been cleaned and everywhere remained spotless, a perk of the dorm.
He had his bath and changed into comfortable clothes before heading to the balcony and taking in the view.
He brought a sit and sat there cross-legged, absorbing mana since he had nothing better to do.
This was his last chance to take in and enjoy the feeling of being idle and free. The next four years were going to be a rollercoaster.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Orion found himself on the way to the main hall. The bell had rung a few minutes ago, and as expected, he was welcod to the sight of a lavish spread of dinner.
He was surprised to find a few new faces at the seats of the table; it seed so had finally decided to co out.
Orion couldn’t help but quip.
"Isn’t that interesting, seems you lot have finally decided to check out the competition." He said with a smirk.
A few chuckles rang out, the boys finding his statent amusing.
"You seem ready." Soone said, facing Orion.
Orion turned to him with a smile, observing the boy, who had low-cut hair with taper fades at the sides and a provocative smirk on his face.
"Aren’t you?" Orion asked back, with an excited expression, before taking his seat.
