The next morning, I woke up with a sense of dread hanging over me. Today was the day of the duel. As I got ready, I tried to shake off my anxiety, reminding myself that I had trained hard and was ready for this. After a quick breakfast, I made my way to class, my mind racing with thoughts of the upcoming fight.
When I arrived at the classroom, I noticed a buzz of excitement among my classmates. The professor, a stern man with a sharp gaze named Professor Hawke, stood at the front with a knowing smile on his face.
"Good morning, everyone," he began, his voice commanding attention. "Today, we have something a bit different planned. As you all know, we have a duel scheduled."
A murmur ran through the class. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as Professor Hawke continued.
"Eileen and Mara have agreed to participate in a formal duel, a test of their skills and training. We will all proceed to the gymnasium, where the duel will take place."
