Victor logged out of Ascendant Realms after the third night with heavy eyelids and prached throat.
The moment he removed his helmet, and got out of his sheets, the morning sunlight slipped through his dorm's curtains.
Outside, the campus was already filled with students moving about.
Today was the day.
The Versus Stage of the Sword Legacy Challenge had arrived.
Victor freshened up, threw on his uniform, and headed toward the arena with Selene and the others.
By the time they arrived, the stands were packed as expected. Loud cheering students, instructors, and even a few high-profile alumni had come to watch the twenty remaining students battle it out for the right to claim the legendary sword.
Victor was assigned a holding spot in the crowd alongside his group until his match was called. He sat beside Reed, who was munching on something fried and too greasy, while Aria, Kai, and Danny chattered about who they thought the final four would be.
