New groups

"Any group that manages to accumulate the most valuable body parts will secure the top position. The scores will be recorded as soon as you return from the test," Sir Dominic announced, his tone brisk. "To be on the safer side, you'll form groups of six! You have ten minutes to select your teammates." He stepped back, his eyes sweeping over the students, who began to move around the hall, scouting for strong candidates to join their teams.

Silas and his group stood silently, absorbing Sir Dominic's words and glancing around the room.

"I guess we'll need two more members now that… Ivy's gone," Vic murmured, his voice laced with a hint of sadness. "Let's walk around and find someone willing to join us."

As they started to move forward, a voice from behind halted them. They turned to see Sebastian approaching, his expression hopeful.

"Got an open spot? I'd like to join," Sebastian said as he came closer.
