The selection for the Holy Maiden was more leisurely than Wayne had imagined.
Every day was either spent training or being fixed by Veronica, with occasional visits next door to pin Alex to the ground and grind him into the dirt.
Alex was numb to it all, his sister Ronica couldn't hit him, Wayne couldn't beat him, and Veronica never bothered with him, his already melancholic face now filled with suffering, feeling like he was about to break.
On March 12, the first round of candidate selection officially started, alleviating the suffering of the beleaguered Alex.
On the afternoon of the 8th, mages from headquarters worked on constructing something in front of villas number 4 and 8, clanking and banging all night long, and after repeated testing, they confirmed the teleportation gate was operational.
