Bird of Prey

Today's Arena matches were much faster than usual. From the looks of it, most privileged acolytes were just too busy preparing for the mid-test that they did not want to risk getting injured before it began.

Hence after just half a dozen fights, it had already reached the fight between those in the 30th ranks, and after only a short while of battles, Emery's name was finally called.

[Rank 20 - Emery Ambrose (9)]

Emery was slightly taken aback that someone would aim for his position of rank 20 and it would be his turn so soon.

He turned to look at the name of the challenger displayed on top of the arena.

[Rank 29 - Vida Themary (18)]

The name was familiar to him. This female acolyte was the second most famous half-blood of the year. Her name always shows just behind Zack, the dragon half-blood.

Emery calmly walked into the arena, and in the center of it, the girl with short dark hair was already waiting for him.
