1st November

Nerves fluttered in my stomach. There were so many people here, and all of them seemed far more excited than I was. One girl was even bouncing up and down. Though, I supposed that could be from nerves too. I hoped so.

Rhi and Topher were chatting on the sidelines. Neither of them was taking part, which meant they were only here to watch. I looked around at the other contestants, but none of them were paying any attention to me.

Knowing there was nothing else for me to do, I made my way over to them. Topher's face lit up as I approached, an expression I was certain was reflected on my own. Even though I'd parted ways with him less than twelve hours ago.

"How are you holding up?" he asked.

I shrugged. "I'm not sure what to expect." That was as much as I was going to admit out loud. I didn't want any of the other players hearing how nervous I was and taking advantage of it. Though, as far as I was aware, there wouldn't be any rounds where we were doing magic against each other.

"And that worries you," Topher observed.

"Yes," I admitted. "I should have spent more time on the welcome packet rather than cramming it this morning." I hadn't meant to leave it until the last minute, but it had just slipped my mind with everything going on.

"Take a deep breath," Topher instructed. "And I'll run you through it."

"Thanks." I followed his instructions and breathed in and out a couple of times. To my surprise, I actually felt better once I'd done it.

"There are three rounds. One will test your control, one will test your dexterity, and then there'll be one that's something like the assault course you did to qualify. You'll have to act quickly and accurately if you want to win that."

"Are they all weighted evenly?" Rhi asked.

I frowned. "I thought you'd been to these competitions before?" Though, come to think of it, she'd never said anything about competing in them. I'd just assumed she did them along with the boys.

"I have, but I didn't pay that much attention. My family is from the other side of the border. I didn't grow up with magic like the rest of you. I had to learn about it since going to university in Urbis with this lot," she explained.

"Oh." I was being a bad friend at the moment, and I needed to change that. It wasn't fair to her if I didn't.

"No, they're not weighted the same," Topher said, answering Rhi's question from before I'd side-tracked her. "The first two make up half of the marks in total, and the third part counts for the rest of it. I've seen people win solely based on how they performed on the final part of the test, though it's a lot harder to do that. Really, you need to score in the top five during rounds one and two in order to have a chance at winning."

I nodded. "Right.
