The next day.
The hall of the Dawnbloom Guild was bustling with people, just like during the initiation ceremony.
Voices everywhere, people chatting, drinking, eating, and even a few breaking into minor scuffles in the corners. The entire hall was filled with noise and life.
At the very front of the hall, a huge banner hung proudly with the words:
"Dawnbloom Guild Carnival Members Selection Announcement!"
Staff bustled back and forth in their usual animal-themed headbands. Even Yui looked unusually busy, darting around with papers in hand.
I was sitting at one of the tables, having just finished my breakfast. Around me were familiar faces, William, Evelyn, Maya, Linus, and Bob.
"My heart is pounding… When are they going to announce it?" Evelyn asked nervously, placing both hands over her chest.
"Patience, Eve. It'll be soon," Maya replied, trying to comfort her, though she looked just as restless.
