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.

Good luck

The morning of the duel dawned with a heavy, ominous sky, clouds hanging low as if the very heavens were reluctant to witness what was to come. The usual morning chill was absent, replaced instead by a stifling warmth that seemed to seep into my bones, making the air feel thick and oppressive.

I woke up in Lise's arms, her warmth comforting against my back, but even that couldn't completely quell the unease bubbling in my chest.

I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, trying to calm the flurry of thoughts racing through my mind. Today was the day, the day I would face one of the Council members in a duel that would either cement my place among the university's elite or expose me as unworthy. The weight of it was suffocating.
