Competition
The next morning, I got up quite early. The girls were all staying in one room together, which gave me some alone time to think about things, such as the upcoming exam that was about to happen in a mere hour or so.
After showering and brushing my teeth, I changed into new underclothes and slipped on the Deceiver armor set. Just before I prepared to head out the door, however, a loud announcement echoed across the entire inn.
"All disciples, gather at the front gates of your respective inns!"
I recognized the voice to be Elder Zhang. It seems he would be overseeing this excursion, rather than the patriarch himself. The patriarch definitely had more important things to do… after all, his goal of setting up this test was merely to get rid of me.
