Norval entered the hotel through the front entrance. He appeared to be too fatigued to walk, as if he had chosen to run from the sports complex to the hotel rather than take the bus. With a cheerful greeting, the receptionist welcomed him in. Norval couldn't help but try to match the receptionist's enthusiasm, but his response was so blunt that it almost came out as mocking.

“How are you doing Mr. Norval?” the receptionist inquired, holding out his hand in anticipation of a handshake. Norval reached out with a tired, depleted hand that hadn't seen much action since his admission to the hospital. Norval gave the receptionist a wobbly handshake, and the receptionist could see Norval was attempting to grip tightly.

That was not the case for Ithea's candidates. The most well-known victim of this craze was none other than Luciana, the kingdom's princess. Her father was vicious, despotic in his heart, and only cared about himself. Regardless, it appeared as if he found joy in hurting his victims and his own children.Norval's father was no different. He was ruthless to the same degree as Luciana's father. He wanted nothing more than to see his ideas succeed, and if they didn't, he'd be on the verge of losing his mind.

    The blades collided, causing sparks to shoot across the concrete floor. To Stanier's astonishment, Jalon was a lightning fast runner. He wriggled and danced his way around Stanier, dodging his blind swings with ease. Jalon took a step forward and stepped on another vial, which exploded and blinded Stanier with a flash of light. As his blade struck with Stanier's crystalline skin, he swung it with tremendous force, shattering fragments and sent them soaring into the air.Stanier lurched back, and before he could regain his feet, he was struck again, knocking him down. When he landed on the vials again, the elixirs bathed his entire body, soaking his garments with the potion. Jalon's name was chanted again and again by the crowd. Some questioned how he was able to dominate the lone wolf despite their swordsmanship being on par. Jalon's strategy, on the other hand, put Stanier at a significant disadvantage. By taking away his eyesight and stance, he had completely messed up his

    Norval's mother and sister sat next to Luciana and Jalon. The corridor was unusually silent, with only the beeping of the machinery inside the room and the clanking of the fan whirling above them to be heard. Jalon was tempted to take out his phone and log in to his social media accounts at times, but Luciana would elbow him in the gut and he would put his phone back.“It's ok, folks; you can go ahead and prepare.” Mrs. Greensmith read the room and said, "You still have matches today, and I don't want you to waste your time here while your opponents are getting ready."“No, Mrs. Greensmith, we're not bothered in the least. Norval is a friend of ours, and we are here to provide him with the assistance he requires. If we had been in his shoes, I'm sure he would have done the same forus,” Luciana added, smiling at the small girl next to Mrs. Greensmith.“And who is this little princess you have brought

But I'm grateful to whoever put that scum to death. He helped me save a lot of time and money,”Luciana was on the verge of crying.

Before she slid on the floor, the others ran to her and provided her with anchorage. Mr. Starkridge went on to say, "Even all of you agreed with me that Nelanian was not a good fit for this institution. Throughout the history of this school, several notable alchemists who have gone down in history as the best alchemists to ever live have graduated from its halls. Because of our institution's outstanding performance, the government rewarded us by entrusting us with the task of training Ithea's champions. Then Rhaizen Gale appeared! That knucklehead,"Cecily muttered under her breath, "Stop it, stop talking." The rest of her classmates did nothing to obstruct the director's speech; they were all ears."That fool walked the corridors as if they w

    The villagers he passed through were as friendly as usual. They didn't let him walk by without welcoming him. He returned the courtesy by greeting everyone and anyone he met on his way. On the exterior, Nelanian appeared to be energetic and happy, but on the inside, he was in pain. The headaches were awful, but he seemed to be able to ignore them. When he arrived at the Old Man's homestead, he was greeted by Sam. " Are you up for another round of sword combat, Nelly?" little Sam asked. Nelanian hated it when he had to disappoint the kid. He sincerely wanted to play with him, but his body was in such bad shape that he couldn't even lift a wooden sword and swing it. He patted Sam on the head and told him the terrible news "I'm sorry, kid. I'm afraid I won't be able to practice with you today. Perhaps another time?"Sam's brow furrowed. "ok. Perhaps

Luciana considered taking a dip in the housetop pool, however she recalled her last experience and immediately pushed the thought insane. She decided to go for a comfortable walk outside the lodging. She'd been there sufficiently long to realize that local people wouldn't upset her with demands for signatures or photographs. She stirred from her sleep and started strolling to the cold earth floor. A recognizable face dealt with her before she strolled to the lift. ""Hello, Rascal!" He was called by her. Somebody had offended Todd, so he returned the gaze. ""Who on earth are you calling your rascal?" says the storyteller. With his voice very nearly breaking, he asked. 'Are you the whelp who attempted to kill me?' Luciana commented.

    “I apologise if this causes any trouble; nonetheless, the circumstances were unexpected and unanticipated. Wardric simply left without warning, and with little time to work with, we didn't have many options to choose from, so the committee simply decided to proceed to the third and final phase of the trials, which does not involve the participation of foreign students,” the judge continued, flipping through the pages of a notebook he had brought with him.“And when will the trials' last phase begin? ” Luciana inquired. She had been deafeningly quiet for the majority of the time. She knew exactly why the proceedings were being handled with such carelessness: the whole thing had been rigged. Even though Jalon outshined her, the trials had already been completed and she had already been named the champion of Ithea. If the results had been released at that precise moment, Jalon would have been in first place, with her in second and Norval l

    We inquired of Nelanian as to whether you ever administered mutagen to him throughout his training. He showed us the medicines you provided him, which were examined and determined to contain traces of blue fire," Cecily explained further, pulling out other documents from underneath her grasp.Luciana's face was a picture of horror. The notion of their own principal attempting to assassinate his own student."Is this true Mr. Starkridge? Tell us right now! " Luciana added her two cents to the interrogation.Mr. Starkridge slumped in his chair and sighed deeply. "Look at you, young detectives," he said, "so were you going to ambush me with this knowledge and hope for me to kneel and confess?" Of course, I was the one that gave him the blue fire,"Cecily was on the verge of collapsing. She began to stagger as her legs began to lose power.

He calmed down afterhe noticed the blankets moving; he hadn't lost them. “Doctor, what's wrong with me?” he inquired. Before setting the clipboard down, the nurse gave him a long sympathetic look. “Listen, this is going to be difficult to hear, but you need to know this for your own good. “You have a brain tumor!” exclaimed the doctor. “Wait a minute!” The nurse approached him and sat beside him on the edge of the bed, telling him what she had learned.
