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.

Planning

As we filed into the cafeteria, the warm smells of roasted vegetables and savory meat stews filled the air, welcoming us in.

The place wasn't as crowded as usual, with only the twenty remaining students sitting at scattered tables, most of them looking exhausted or pensive after the day's events. Lise, Zaya, and I settled into a corner table, the three of us pulling our chairs in close.

"Only twenty of us left." I said, breaking the silence as we unwrapped our utensils. "Can you believe it?"

Lise gave a small, humorless laugh. "Hardly. I mean, we started with nearly a hundred."

Her gaze drifted around the room, observing the remnants of the competition: some slumped over their food, others in tight groups, whispering furiously. "And yet here we are, the only three left from our university."
