"Likewise, the academic points earned will be awarded to you tonight. With this, we conclude the second event of the first-year academic year," announced Professor Athena, placing her hands behind her back. "The date for the third event has not yet been established, but it will surely be after the small event organized by the student council," she concluded with a warm smile.
Anthony shuddered slightly at that smile. His body still vividly rembered how he had been torn apart. Frowning, he listened to Professor Athena's final instructions: "Next week will be the mini event. Be prepared," she said before leaving the class.
Anthony looked back at the rankings and furrowed his brow slightly. The difference between the first and second place was staggering. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Angela, who was radiating a dazzling smile at that mont. Her smile seed as bright as the sun itself, and it even seed like sunbeams were shining directly on her through the windows.
Angela caught his gaze, and her golden eyes watched him with curiosity before she got up to leave. Anthony shook his head as he observed his position in the ranking. The good thing about all this was that one of his objectives had been achieved, in addition to still retaining the remaining points from the previous event.

Suddenly, he felt small hands clinging to his arm. Charlotte's eyes were filled with concern, but not for the ranking. She was worried about Lysandra's attitude. Anthony took her hands calmly and said, "Don't worry, it's sorted out. But I think she wants to talk to you," trying to console Charlotte.

The days passed quietly, without any apparent issues. Charlotte and Lysandra had their secret conversation, and although Anthony felt curious and tried to pry information from both of them, it was in vain. Neither of them revealed anything, and in the end, Anthony simply gave up on his attempt to get details.
At night, Professor Athena continued to instruct the three students: Anthony, Ezequiel, and Edward. It was a true hell for them. Although the professor couldn't kill them, their training was extrely rigorous. She always emphasized that reflexes were humans' best weapon and that reacting as quickly as possible could always save their lives. Her attacks were fast, precise, and even deadly.
Anthony suffered more than one injury during these trainings. On one occasion, he ended up with several broken bones and a dislocated jaw. Professor Athena was fierce and ruthless, showing no rcy. Although the pain was unbearable, Anthony noticed how his body sohow got used to it.
While he still suffered and scread miserably when the professor fractured a bone, it seed that the level of suffering was not as extre as the first tis, at least he believed so in his heart. His reactions beca faster, and his eyes never stopped watching the tal stick that the professor held in her hands.
Not only Anthony, but also Ezequiel and Edward, made significant progress during this period. However, there was still a palpable tension between Anthony and Ezequiel. From ti to ti, they would engage in fights, fueled by that bad blood that had not completely disappeared.
But the professor always intervened and educated them with her tal stick, the classes also continued without problems, Professor Athena was very good at explaining every concept of mana or sword handling, she was always available to help any students who asked for it.
One particular day, we were taken out of our usual classes and taken to a training field belonging to the imperial soldiers. It was an impressive place, dominated by tall n, almost all of them around two ters tall. Their faces were as serious and hard as stone itself. Upon seeing their commander-in-chief, they knelt on one knee and saluted her in unison, demonstrating an imposing respect.
The commander selected 25 soldiers and paired them with our students to practice together. These soldiers, although initially of erald rank, had reduced their power to platinum rank by order of the professor. Despite this, so students suffered blows and fractures during the confrontations.
It was an intense and challenging experience, but also an invaluable opportunity to learn from those who were experts in the battlefield.

The days went on, and finally, the eagerly awaited Monday of the week arrived. The campus was bustling with life, with crowds of students wandering everywhere. Laughter and lively chatter filled the air, while everyone's eyes shone with excitent.
"Today is an important day for our academy! The dukes and the most influential people will be present!" A group of students was on a podium, shouting with enthusiasm. There was a celebratory atmosphere in the air, with additional food stalls and the presence of people who did not belong to the academy.
Children ran around, their eyes shining as they looked at the imposing buildings of the faculties. It was a special day, full of expectations and palpable emotions in every corner of the campus.
There were all kinds of people, commoners and nobles who ca to see with their own eyes the great event that would take place with the first-year students, the doors of the academy were open to all people who wanted to enter, because of this there were many more people than usual, the families of the students took the opportunity to co and visit their sons or daughters, the atmosphere was very lively.
Anthony rolled his eyes, he could still rember the words of the professor, according to her, it was just a mini event, looking at all the people walking around the campus, if this place were not so big, it was practically impossible to cover all these people.
"Big brother!" a shout from a girl brought Anthony out of his thoughts, and he smiled warmly.
