The Preliminaries
"You can be slow. You can be weak. But as long as you never stop, in the end, victory shall be yours."

After the conversation with Sylvoir, Mei Gui and I headed back to the hotel. We didn't talk about much - in fact, after she introduced herself, she let us out, after an ominous 'we will meet again'.
But never mind that. Tomorrow was the day of the preliminaries. And we were ready.

- The Next Day -
It was a nice evening. The girls and I woke up at 6 PM, brushed our teeth, washed our faces, and then gathered in the hotel lobby downstairs at 7, as per the instructions of Old Man Leng. We took Flaria with us, since this was the last day we had at the hotel, and she still hadn't awoken. I was responsible for carrying her on my back. When we arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Old Man Leng and his wife were there, waiting for us.
