Last day of selections-1
I yawned and rubbed my eyes, glancing around the room. Blaze sat on the desk, lost in thought as he peered out the window. Getting out of bed, I readied myself and headed downstairs. Mrs. Penny was preparing breakfast, and the other students were seated at the table in our dorm.
I exchanged a few silent words with Mrs. Penny before settling on the nearby sofa. She brought me breakfast, which I consumed in quietude. After recent events, no one had spoken much to me, creating an eerie silence in the dormitory.
"Seems like you're inadvertently intimidating them," Blaze commented, nibbling on a piece of meat.
I finished breakfast and made my way out, heading toward the Arena. Today marked the final day of selections, and unlike others, I hadn't needed to fight more than twice. For the rest, it had been two or three bouts.
