Tomorrow, the students were set to depart for the venue where the grand contest would be held.
The venue, as always, was on the island next to the one where the Great Hall's headquarters stood.
Every island in that region belonged to the Great Hall—used for watchposts, storage, and as homes for the families of martyrs who had died in service to them.
The Great Hall wasn't just an organization of the strong and talented—it was a pillar that stood firm between humanity and the darkness that threatened it.
So, by tomorrow evening, all students were expected to arrive at the venue. Early in the morning, the students of Ardentia Academy would already be leaving in carriages, their hearts surely would be heavy with excitement and worry alike.
The opening ceremony and the first test were usually held in private, attended only by teachers and council members.
