章 1023: Edward's Resurgence [Pt 1]

Tense silence echoed in the Martial Zone as all our attention converged on the brimming light that was the Constellation, Aries.

I had a lot of questions coursing through me, but there was only one that mattered now.

"What kind of test are you giving him?"

For a moment, no one said anything. Perhaps they too wanted my question to be answered.

~It is none of your concern. The conclusion is merely that he needs to grow stronger.~

"And how long will it take to complete the test?" I further inquired.

~Do not worry. Time is relative in this world, but even then the process is about to be completed. Perhaps it is fate that you arrived at this exact moment.~

'So this Constellation is implying that we'll be able to see the results very soon?' I could feel the anticipation building up within me.

~This is a fair arrangement, no? That Edward's friends may look over him at his moment of failure or success?~

When Aries put it like that, it felt a bit intrusive.
