I was mistaken

"One!" one of the disciples shouted, pressing the attack against the training pillar with their hand. 

"Two!" someone else sang to the same tune, doing the same but with his left hand. 

"Four!" yet another disciple trained at his own pace, striking the pillar with his left foot. 

'Look at them go,' Mia thought with a small smile, observing how the normie disciples trained. 

Not a single one of them had any chance of participating in the intersect tournament. Outside of Mia's team, hardly any disciple managed to reach the fifth stage, not to speak about the sixth one, which was basically a requirement for the sect to consider one's participation. 

But that didn't stop any of them. 

Intersect tournament or not, they were all eager to squeeze this opportunity to grow to its limits. 

'If only I didn't have so much on my mind,' Mia thought, her mood souring by the second.
