章 59: (LIX) The Fall Midterm Student Showcase Begins

The day of the Fall Midterm Student Showcase had finally arrived, and the air was thick with excitement and anticipation. The grand Colosseum Colosseum, an imposing structure of marble and stone, stood as a testament to the academy's rich history and tradition. Thousands of spectators filled the stands, their eager chatter creating a vibrant, electric atmosphere. 

Flags bearing the emblems of the four towers—Byakko, Genbu, Seiryu, and Suzaku—fluttered in the breeze, each one representing the pride and spirit of their respective towers.

As the opening ceremonies began, a hush fell over the crowd. The massive gates at the far end of the arena slowly creaked open, and a resounding cheer erupted as the hundred students who had qualified for the showcase began to enter. They marched in organized lines, each group proudly displaying the colors and symbols of their tower.
