.....................

The next morning did not dawn...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RAJM3Kelo

Before the echoes of yesterday's battles...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nHhOvEUYx

Had already spread throughout the academy.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPTt2tE7o3

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaXe1UDEIK

The training grounds were crowded with contestants.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm46pzzisAZ

Every team trained in its own way.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iGzmiwzwj

Every sword...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP9B9HXKeR

Struck with greater force.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrh1enAsYr

And every mage...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF5NYwIo63

Tried to refine their spells.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50fdjMMEOr

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcFSrYhT3B

The tournament...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9pVFpWqsY

Was no longer just a competition.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWKYdoyZE7

It had become a battlefield...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDh9bIGBZ7

Where there was no place for the weak.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xhqYUjiNr

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo4AoKjxsJ

At the Aros Village Knights' private training ground...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppEqnxBr1X

Khaled stood alone.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLTvB6rCat

He slowly closed his eyes.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fnbDqEOhu

Then extended his hand.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRbXqKWBg3

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUm0tZCKAk

Silence filled the area.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2dwlXPb7C

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq5uY1lj7C

He waited.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgqNr7J7EQ

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRGiyXws70

But...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B4mQgMWpv

Nothing happened.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVKYQG7ROc

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIdl9Rf5PP

He opened his eyes.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d0Cg1J73c

Looked at his palm.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIVM9PrCKt

Then clenched it tightly.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmc9dhFafh

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NiicqE9qj

"Again..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ahUApjsLf

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1geKdgOms8

He took a deep breath.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIxyrIHJIb

And tried to summon the shadows.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18pMdJU2Ce

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER7bxOuc95

But...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk6PwIsWjJ

Nothing appeared.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBVWNEh8sW

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iYhgDJN0i

Even the faint black aura...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3VgX1ESNt

Had completely vanished.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16CgmKScMe

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XcFIaPgO5

Khaled gritted his teeth.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9xNLsVobj

Then tried once more.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdnc4kEvwu

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XYrOs8EqP

And again.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2QmoFkRWx

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYr1K5xWls

And again.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l2C964ZQ7

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm47MbRF8I

But the result...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNDugTqgQN

Never changed.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVzjHfTNvK

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGDIhsHc0p

He lowered his head.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5eGJv033C

And breathed heavily.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc30zs9zFP

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKuUPrRvIc

"I used..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FqBrPXKeM

"This power..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyU79vSLAP

"Before I knew..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7KHt72xKf

"That Shadow had a hand in it."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dOtdG470h

"So why..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7e9gB1C9b

"Can't I use it now?"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc6fkyXgwA

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqySSYZwVuh

Silence answered him.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOWp2b2H9j

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5C4TfTe8w

Then suddenly...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn3rETOpZj

A cold voice...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDF27WDoPB

Echoed deep inside his mind.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU13CW6xVVw

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHpVeAgbKJ

"Because..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhMG84rxI4

"You're a coward."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMYlnLObSy

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GOT5Ba4Fx

Khaled's eyes widened.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkHw2Ks2yP

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ijn52UJ6T

"Who's there?!"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPVpDzKZ0z

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3HQvIl7li

The voice returned.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc3fW5sn2F

Calmer...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpCgiJPWJP

And far more terrifying.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3OuX9Eq3x

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVTby3HPRJ

"The more your fear grows..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR2OiWA1Vy

"The weaker you become."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ050rNCAMKu

"And the weaker you become..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xNlHymLa9

"The closer I get."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5LFYf4VYi

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NcuVcMcz4

Khaled's hand trembled.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡratKr5JR2A

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXAtSncvUV

"Shut up..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE5emluAXc

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGuPb9pL4p

A faint laugh...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCV4nWLHzC

Resonated inside his head.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFbFTL32Uw

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVQu5w959U

"Keep running..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKZIqLUndP

"And in the end..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCNTkVYssF

"There will be..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapOWTt2Kd9

"Nothing left of you..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3whcsnQJsx

"Except me."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHRaHh2KWe

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN1mMKg71j

The voice disappeared.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DqVt6PKah

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3etc3TcnXt

But Khaled...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvhJGtInI0

Remained standing where he was.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybnfJHkvPO

Trying to calm his breathing.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSDgzu4gyp

As if a battle...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bxxu60yI0

Had just ended inside his own mind.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJGkJueVsF

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2ZOSfw5yU

Elsewhere...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhQ2d1qONQ

Abdulrahman was training alone.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaqgO5TYws

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoNRiEhkQF

He stood before a massive training dummy.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx45Op4sJH

Then slowly drew his sword.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcl2ZWeFCH

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zMJX0rwPk

Red flames ignited around the blade.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5McZSlr2p6

But...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog51aibmmv

He used no spell.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Ll8K6K26

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovxeC0ENLG

One step.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6PlG6ohJ0

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF2trQp9lk

Then...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8pUG9o4rx

He vanished.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl98Ldu2DpJ

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC3e7yoH8m

In the next instant...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dHqUGzlcE

He was already behind the dummy.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPNQU4juL4

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjke44OTuLB

Silence.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3uwE6kUMI

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdPbYIJOZb

Then...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjS3I8kkd

The dummy split into dozens of pieces.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvCEUeiV7M

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Dn70KXLU

Without anyone hearing...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EeA58WFjd

A single strike.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vX2PRixgY

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXlkHFxvwB

Gran stood at the entrance to the training ground.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3tSIsAeJm

And let out a low whistle.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdYP3b0CNm

"He's still..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiuBkU0XgI

"Training."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHoKPyefH2

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl9WOEpSnb

Lyria smiled softly.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE7vozvzSQ

"That's why..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEHxqsDs2m

"He's strong."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWGJX4XNfk

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8zOYkVl73

Orin walked over to them.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf4MMNJzed

Then said calmly,

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8DimIceHr

"Strength..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTliGINK3IW

"Doesn't maintain itself."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVxmwqBCpj

"The moment you stop training..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnYzuXLYXW

"Someone else surpasses you."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1odLH6zPl3

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYe8Y9xaVG

Gran nodded.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7phAQw728S

"But..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FkdJwXUW5

"Our match won't be easy."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0SgbDaFkf

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEmG79KVjh

Lyria looked toward the training ground.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimxieG6Jta

"The Aros Village Knights..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTMZcx9BQ0

"Are still dangerous."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Pz9LBHI0

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eKFGVbOdk

Gran sighed.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FBjdq7aYH

"Abdulrahman..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3W4bIcKxQ

"Already proved that."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xb8TJfpJU

"As for Khaled..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7iX7sLS9b

"I still..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6nmEERDiX

"Don't understand him."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA3ykt96C6

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF5cwJVxgo

Elsewhere...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWFqg5qabG

Several team captains gathered together.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhpkBxFoQr

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5E4701J3b

One of them said,

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudYtBlxZg4

"If Abdulrahman..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGzSqfxWoU

"Faced Mountain Fist alone..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCQe5UtH4u

"It wouldn't be easy."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWWBqAHIrY

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xAoxGl5x0

Another replied,

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE5CNObrXx

"But Lyria..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QDoJgB2tb

"Uses water."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDm6Sjsi2M

"And water..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXCj3aXSfY

"Troubles fire users."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U4yNHFSmr

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtumDMRr10U

Kyle smiled faintly.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVKPpdKphT

"Don't rely..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AQgyAB4DD

"On a single element."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPDmuzUBES

"The amount of mana Abdulrahman possesses..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xlhqpfYr9

"Isn't small."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRI0T04Llv

"And no one knows..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6GJmdmqJ2

"Where his limits truly lie."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohoZ9vOwgt

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U6y63JPpe

Rin asked,

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnsbVzwR8S

"Then..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hk80sPjHu

"Who do you think has the advantage?"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LMAe2MKmb

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsHqb6mruP

Silence lingered for a moment.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv59LbMx3Pf

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p7a3gQ9lK

Then Kyle answered,

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHHtLJmOKs

"Mountain Fist..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGg7u9vZ2x

"Has strength."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkKjA5ZURF

"And the Aros Village Knights..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqRmzqDnVB

"Have intelligence."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZueQdhp2Rx

"For now..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv3JrEmC3p

"I can't predict the winner."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifkrlViD1D

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvelmhjvCXY

Elsewhere...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlYhiCS8t8

Inside the Ice Palace.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOBkPqgQXg

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94gzhm7L9k

One of the guards stopped before the room's door.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunx2Bi4jPx

Then knocked gently.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32juBCoahC

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06DkgOhLxM

"My Lady..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVG7eR8S3c

"We've brought your meal."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMsbjwsYDC

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXCZbA45G2

No reply came.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzG4hbbJ9D

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yxJErHzvv

The guards opened the door.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS6p3WYZox

And placed a large tray on the table.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GGPBgXPiK

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNNADcRUGe

Roasted meat.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtkREisy0J

Hot soup.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrduIFaps3P

Fresh bread.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGInb7fPEc

And fruit.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iRavO0anp

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSawXMMJt5

One of the guards said quietly,

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAar21MDpW

"As always."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbWQ5cfdgY

"We hope..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBfVUW7cvc

"You'll eat something."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0KfcMYgPh

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDq19HewOT

But Catalina...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlBhOqaOfb

Turned her face toward the window.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eaIWTNJbT

Without saying a single word.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hBAqJH0Bd

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiYtG5yfPJ

The guards sighed.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YzwIYrdOm

Then left the room.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUGg7olD07

Closing the door behind them.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSgKBKEZFR

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHzABpkjt3

Silence returned.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSZiun3wIZ

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkb40ojGGw

Several long moments passed.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBYjtwhC3V

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nyux0t3VQ

Then...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJPVQwLRcg

A soft sound echoed.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXGaEQpYOk

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qkjgYImwb

Grrrr...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEjqED6eTd

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0hiDADWDb

Catalina quickly placed a hand over her stomach.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGXrI8vGpU

Her cheeks flushed red.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cO1TDdpkS

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC49PY3pqHq

"Calm down..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9b5Dgh3hJ

"It's only..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UW2eTWpvR

"Delicious roasted meat..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobHi2lbXL6

"Hot soup..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazalCOD3tG

"And a few side dishes..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFiycQrYat

"With an amazing smell..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zAncuwn73

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHZfupYBuI

She squeezed her eyes shut.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1jL1kFsvU

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGOT5NzWII

"No!"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HqwHN8t10

"I won't give in!"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBiioXk9VP

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L1IoQhuUc

She turned her back to the table.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCCNndW2Og

And proudly lifted her chin.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vxm5vFE5o

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfKCij5uJX

"I'm angry at them."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQAk5EEofo

"And I'm not eating."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSZ20kaAqE

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwECuAzHbU

Only three seconds passed.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfOQToprBs

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvFAWOaiiz

She slowly turned around.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ZwFd7w5w

And looked at the food.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o2bV2xZJo

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpkgjeMoek

She swallowed.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUNp8jkiHt

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds7MrwmXNp

"Maybe..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceQO7QZeFZ

"Just one little bite..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI3vvJcJTH

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPe8awaAoL

She shook her head vigorously.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QL20dwwCN

"No!"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9icYxzzEGV

"Catalina!"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsQmgibEiG

"Stay strong!"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxepr7RAXH

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOy2okXZQX

She took several steps away from the table.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0gb5bNDNA

With her eyes tightly shut.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22tBrHtbkc

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcwp64F0pA

But...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjaaJ892Br

Her back bumped into a large bookshelf.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ5GKLIG9h

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNZCEOLuYU

The shelf shook.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UEqo6dEFa

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpjMUNm3HF

Several books fell to the floor.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrwrDjLWMd

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabYa3KJdNe

Catalina gasped.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g4CdysATC

"Ah!"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzi9lGNiil

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH2gqpiYAh

She quickly knelt down.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh572ybXHE

And began putting the books back.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71laerfONu

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBGBqfepk0

But...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuOtiy23Eg

Her hand suddenly stopped.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HHzXwlsw1

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiixmY6WCF5

There was one book...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX4GevNDMM

Smaller than all the others.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfNkQo2WpP

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTHkKAgvda

Its cover was pitch black.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlo24BIpOs

With ancient symbols...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNK6viLztt

Etched across it in faded silver.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDulO0unWdl

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09sDnxFIUo

She had never seen it before.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZRLCN45LT

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcn1bMn7VP

She looked at it curiously.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5JOj5nwIN

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwo6W7qK4z

Then...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbxFWyUkNI

Slowly reached out her hand toward it.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUloc9MP1ZV

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfSpoe9qJ2

Catalina carefully pulled the book from the shelf.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JDJNVVYWE

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTcuqWTRNB

It was heavier...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxEWPntVN4

Than it looked.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ543mxlB6u4

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NTmWiKDXH

She blew the dust off its cover.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEy2m9JSRl

The tiny particles scattered into the air.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKt1XgFAY7

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAGdd5cNb3

She ran her fingers across the ancient symbols.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDI7PhB0qy

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoH8Korokb

Suddenly...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXQNEcu4q

The inscriptions glowed for a brief moment.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TdIqlyKhE

Then faded once again.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe06YaosyJ7

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduAExilW06

Her eyes widened.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBXfXBb5EM

"Magic...?"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3HNOGZJPD

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCneN7g9Hkx

She slowly opened the first page.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g0MS1lPL1

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCWSHWBcYv

The words...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAnG83GuPE

Were not written in any language she knew.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sBwGsDaU9

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83SoV6CqfC

Instead...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIwOAkSNJy

They were ancient letters.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn3eeG526d

Alongside illustrations...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ5wvQvmCD

That resembled maps.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3lHsIkKlB

And symbols...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbm15AyNLx

Unlike anything she had ever seen before.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKlLEQci25

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqGfnVanIK

She turned several pages.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ300mSbB6YC

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpxIkrIMsH

Then stopped.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEuqSQEZeB

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjRD7WX4VU

There was a large illustration.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCDSlYX1r6

Depicting...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8280wlxh4

The five continents.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguNSeFm67M

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5kdDDNEfV

And at their center...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfmxHZghH0

Stood the five kings.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaYwxiWjoh

Each one...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyoP1quZfK

Holding their legendary weapon.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPCasZWbeo

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Zc1lRxg6

But...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEVVRnGiXZ

Behind them...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxWNNcsdbB

Loomed an enormous shadow.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxtAKQyTpX

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFahbOu2qE1

Simply looking at it...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rd0loQxLu

Was enough...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvvhfM3RIo

To fill one's heart with an unsettling feeling.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H9LNAfKHJ

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLxVuPzbHN

A being...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fFbpFyTgd

Without clear features.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxQHGubO8I

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD89q0lFHMQ

Yet its eyes...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy1AfCrpEG

Glowed...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QrjpevBg2

Within the darkness.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyu98pZhSt

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO9kuMuWXB

Catalina whispered,

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6acGMPFRA

"What... is this?"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssxIjrQIe2

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdbHOesmTl

Beneath the illustration...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpUVrXLffa

An ancient sentence was written.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZNyDn829k

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdwoO8gOm2

She stared at it for a long time.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF13QHH64O

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oAZCTT63r

Then she began to remember.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxOTS6wp8A

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWvOmfSOwP

The letters...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXysSpg0r4R

Resembled an ancient language...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWJBheW6FY

That Sage Saif...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqdXwiXYSw

Had once taught her, Khaled, and Abdulrahman...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvkqhTmb3z

During a few of his lessons.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySQC7Cd0Kp

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFV33o5NYF

She closed her eyes.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiQeEXeSkz

And tried to translate the words.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRt6Drc7v

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTegWXFJT2

"When..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaBHRYjBNN

"The greatest darkness draws near..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuqIigeLBm

"The Kingdom of Ice..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zp013mA4X

"Shall stand..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnY55AsMFT

"As the barrier..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ud6PcJAxN

"Before the end of the world."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpK9zUbGHr

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg05WNxtgUl

Her hands trembled.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpezbHVckW

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuflRzmTaAN

"The end... of the world?"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0KlmJaath

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetPLVPXZiH

She quickly turned the next page.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIevrwG0qo

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAds75M7L0u

But...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlFHQYjAuW

She found nothing except even more mysterious illustrations.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0QDHdPx5O

Ancient swords.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCVOlcknNN

And unknown seals.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESn15QVOCL

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzKMwVBJeR

Before she could read any further...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYQJRf4c7T

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBt2IfuLME

The sound of calm footsteps...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp0gJMDcqq

Echoed from behind the door.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH60ZGcQYg

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhd5ic9z7l

Catalina froze in place.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiwIcPc1Nu

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyuq5tnqgg

She quickly closed the book.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQfkt0uLIs

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPa7c81QFq

Then returned it...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu9eySZFnj

To its place on the shelf.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqp6gk43ig

Exactly...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEpDvloYk4

As it had been.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5CFWkbZcS

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1QoOyGv4I

The next moment...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1AV5TNDPN

The door slowly opened.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FIsxWcN8i

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvtVgra9tG

The Ice King entered.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiz8iiIldB

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx7ItCXlgW

Silence filled the room.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSrIkjmfN3

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgGeVuOJtJ

He walked forward with steady steps...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxsEVib4PW

Until he stopped before the bookshelf.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivSCqFOSUs

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbm3k2MvXh

He raised his hand.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4GDoUWe4k

And took out...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQQRGhOMKQ

The very same book.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTunZGAAFYe

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc8kX7vNpX

He gently blew the dust from its cover.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4sEBQYbZ9

Then brushed his hand across it...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRPu4l8HgO

As though caring for something...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhXbUvhEPS

Of great value.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV6ervfu19

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYhmPjU7c4

He looked at it for a few moments.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU3gq4qepl

Then said calmly,

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxUxVOH8Ck

"My apologies..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wD4oRXj1P

"I forgot this here."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ0MVL1fdc

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ793ZUvvBJz

He turned around.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcwoybl9RO

And walked toward the door.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmLcY0SnfU

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tSPI2bpjc

Without looking at Catalina...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanVGsPN0KU

Even once.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKbp74mh5l

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nytNe5NGT

Then he left.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9380ySid4h

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGiZMbzGwR

And quietly closed the door behind him.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobGjEQshTv

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO0bjK9lhm

Catalina remained staring...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILMLV7efyZ

At the closed door.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpgsdCTrYT

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIscCCGtTx5

Then whispered,

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4HbR2V7s3

"What kind of book..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xuOor0TdX

"Was that...?"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzjFPRKUcO

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoJvwqQfur

"And why..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbCliARWak

"Would a king..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchVw1CT9h4

"Come to retrieve it himself?"

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn14IwqQBa

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU33Y1r3mwG

Night fell...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWG3kONR0s

Yet Khaled remained completely absorbed in his training.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHRqxLO4AK

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BarxciUJg

No matter how many times he tried...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDWV1E3S45

The shadows refused to answer him.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUgmgMY5fY

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ638FJf33fq

He collapsed onto one knee.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttpkEeBwfH

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfHhv60Saq

Sweat...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvUEh9KGE2

Covered his entire face.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xGuPQCIRv

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrvy4xQFLN

At that very moment...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYwALoDTpO

Abdulrahman...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy56N9oC2I

Was walking through the nearby corridor.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs22tvZmaTQ

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUROMO6hum

He stopped.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVtmhS7Hoj

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxvAZJl24s

He looked toward the training ground.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRtc2lQpIE

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYE8MB8rb1

And saw Khaled...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyFGT435BW

Kneeling on the ground.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFWgh5TjLr

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8pHm7clYO

He watched him...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmn90QCaZH

For a few seconds.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJxPvTV9SZ

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfDfVTlKCQ

Then...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDR685a0Kn

Turned his back.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOBXATAk7s

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8h0FKXmTi

And continued walking.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDfzQ77pcP

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubLBKsDLil

He said nothing.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05V6eCWVEk

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Azekq1oLv

Because...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTB4mMM8Li

He understood...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKvaJwTXNq

That there are battles...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNYhRiqV3T

No one...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SL5oF9SoG

Can fight...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oOhrRUkHV

In another person's place.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwXzyBfkkN

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxtbP5Aief

The following morning...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLBvFyNis3

The spectators...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wq0AgtJua

Began filling the stands once again.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8QlmIvUo9

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuoKAJzAvQ

Cheers echoed throughout the arena.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo8Ck1OcT7

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxextU46t7R

And the banners of every team...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VvYZWI74a

Fluttered proudly in the wind.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJqiSLaJGV

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh1eYtiRue

The referee...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdaLSXb7GF

Stepped into the center of the arena.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHjwcsfJ2J

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSkwhprf5Y

Then raised his hand.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xUCWZwoLR

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubMPrFwxT7

"Today..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRgFCjHBcA

"The second round..."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTXayaELEG

"Begins."

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG1OUDjamq

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAkJZ8dFGC

Silence fell.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxtZVeOhkv

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUi7icmK1a

The eyes of every team...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUo5RQOL44

Met across the arena.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHE2ghcEo7

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAfnhkTO5t

Everyone knew...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BIx01ssmt

That from this point on...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hIFyTb5fx

There was no room...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c0OJQ94bG

For mistakes.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQIEa9XehJ

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkELanMs6YC

And that every step...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhZBte6TOH

From this moment forward...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTmCifg4DZ

Could bring them closer...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhob6kRiIfF

To the championship.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82cxJXsRTI

...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JX00nZAbj

Or...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafoYc3C3Xp

Bring their journey...

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLo0XMPTwo

To an end.

51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOfWXIpsgj

To be continued...
