The sunlight poured over the grounds of the Magic Academy, adding an air of solemnity and mystery to the upcoming magic duel. The stadium was buzzing with excitement as students from various academies eagerly discussed and anticipated the start of the grand event.
Dean Bruce stood alongside Prolo Hawthorne, Alice, and Delina Reba, watching from the sidelines. Each of their faces displayed a mix of tension and anticipation.
"Teacher, I'm really nervous," Prolo Hawthorne said, rubbing his hands together, his eyes betraying a hint of unease.
Alice, too, clutched the hem of her dress tightly. Though she tried her best to stay calm, her fingers trembled slightly, revealing the anxiety she felt.
Delina Reba appeared completely indifferent, but Dean Bruce knew that, beneath her cold exterior, her emotions were just as unsettled.
