章 100: The Priestess

"So, Ária becomes the last winner, joining the ten chosen ones who will spend the next month refining their skills alongside the current Bearers and Mikahil, and in the end, we will know if one of you will be the Bearer of this Realm," Anastasia spoke. Before she could see the audience's reaction, who were already in a frenzy, she closed her right fist, causing the room she was in with the others to disappear once again.

The audience erupted in a burst of cheers and celebration upon hearing Anastasia's words. Deafening applause echoed through the space, and the contest winners, including Ária, began to feel eyes from various points in the arena. Unlike during the fights, now most of the congratulations and praises were insincere. The fun was over, and for them, everything would happen again, and in the end, none of them would become the Bearer.

"Damn it, it looks like I need to teach them something," Himin said, tightly clenching her fist.
