The Next Day,
It was the final test of the blood, sweat and tears contest. Steve woke up feeling a little nervous, partly because he would be competing against Lloyd who was a strong swordsman and partly because he was uncertain about the contents of the test.
"Good morning contestants!!! Head to the cafeteria for your breakfast and gather at the preliminaries arena for the seventh and final test" the voice of the umpire resounded in and around the almost empty boys dormitory as Steve hopped out of bed to perform some quick morning exercises.
'Seventh and final test huh?' he thought as he felt his bones pop satisfactorily, 'it's time to get this over with'
Instead of going to the cafeteria first for his breakfast, Steve went to the infirmary to see Anna.
"Hey" he whispered with a smile as he sat beside her, she was lying face down on the bed with her eyes closed, "good morning"
