Chapitre 50: Celia [3]

"You cannot leave the Academy until the tournament begins at seven in the evening," Violeth announced with authority.

"Additionally, you must not roam alone. You are required to choose a partner to exchange knowledge and experience or train with until then."

She paused, letting the gravity of her words settle over the students.

"You and your partner will be bound by wristbands that prevent separation. When the time comes, gather at the dueling stadium where I will remove the wristbands before the tournament starts."

Violeth continued, "These wristbands are not just for your safety and rules; they are meant to help you get to know each other better as we begin a new semester."

After explaining the rules, Violeth opened the floor for students to choose their partners.

Aisam immediately thought of Celia and turned to her, a grin spreading across his face, his eyes closed in a friendly gesture.
