Become a top mage at all costs

Eileen Caldwell had always been the epitome of a laid-back individual. From her early years to her teens, her passion for leisure rivaled that of any professional napper. School was merely a necessary inconvenience, and she found herself comfortably situated at the bottom of her class hierarchy, much to the chagrin of her teachers and the bemusement of her peers. However, all of this changed on her 18th birthday signaling her transition into adulthood, a mysterious system was activated, one that would upend her world of sloth and slumber. Gone were the days of lounging around without consequence; instead, Eileen found herself thrust into a destiny she could scarcely have imagined. This newly activated system, with its stern mandate against idleness, revealed to Eileen her true potential: she was destined to become one of the most formidable mages the world had ever seen. No longer could she while away the hours in blissful ignorance; instead, she was called upon to harness her latent magical abilities and rise to the challenge that lay before her.

Chaotic dinner

The cafeteria was always busy at dinner, but tonight, it was pure chaos.

The moment Lise and I stepped inside, the noise hit us like a wall. The clatter of trays, the hum of countless conversations, and the frantic footsteps of people dashing between the tables made it feel more like a battlefield than a place to eat.

Every table seemed full, with students jostling for space, and the lines at the food counters were longer than usual, stretching back into the hallway.

Lise gave me a look, half amused, half horrified. "Is this some kind of test? Do we have to duel to the death for food?"

I laughed, but the sight of the overcrowded room made my stomach tighten. "Maybe. You ready?"

"If it comes to that," she said, cracking a grin, "I'll protect you."

We dove into the fray, heading for the nearest food counter. The line barely moved, and students in front of us were getting increasingly impatient.
