ROVI

THE TORNADO

Rovi had barely taken a bite of his eggs when three Realists appeared in the Dreamers’ cafeteria. They jumped up on one of the tables, cupped their hands over their mouths, and shouted, “It’s Realist Field Day!”

Immediately the entire room exploded with shouts and cheers. Realist Field Day meant no class. No Visualization. No Granology. No foundational training. It meant a day of eating and competition—an entire day of fun. It also meant that Rovi’s first year at Ecrof was nearly halfway over.

It didn’t take long for the Dreamers to begin booing their rivals and chasing them out of the Temple of Dreams.

The atmosphere was electric. Rovi watched as older Dreamers rushed to their rooms and returned dressed in head-to-toe purple. Already, someone was offering to paint everyone’s face purple.

In all the excitement, Rovi forgot about his argument with Pretia the other day and immediately moved over to make room for her at his table when she passed by with her tray.

“So,” Rovi said, digging into his second mound of fluffy eggs, “who do you think is going to be chosen to compete?”

“Not me,” Pretia said.

As usual, she seemed oddly relieved to have nothing to do with competition.

He looked around the cafeteria. Cassandra and the rest of the seventh years were gathered around a table, clearly plotting the best teams to put forward to challenge the Realists. He watched Vera Renovo approach the table and start a heated conversation with the House Captain.

“I’m not sure there’s anyone here who can beat Julius,” Rovi said.

“Maybe you, if you tried harder,” Pretia said.

“I like running,” Rovi replied, “if there’s a point.” Which was true. Racing through the market away from the guards and the merchants was fun. Racing the other Star Stealers along the narrow walls high above Phoenis was exciting. But running around a track or a field while someone timed you was just boring.

“Isn’t winning the point?” Pretia asked.

Before Rovi could answer, Vera appeared at the table and slammed her tray down next to theirs. Rovi and Pretia exchanged a surprised look. Vera always ate alone. “I’m racing Julius,” she announced.

“Really?” Rovi asked.

“You don’t believe me?” Vera challenged.

“It’s not that,” Rovi said. “You just don’t seem really happy about it.”

“I’m not,” Vera said. “If I’d known before today, I could have started training. This system of the other house getting to know the events in advance is stupid.”

“Well, we get that same advantage next time,” Pretia said.

“Can you beat your brother?” Rovi asked. He knew Vera was fast, but Julius was an Epic Champion and a Junior Epic Champion, as well as an Epic Elite at Ecrof.

“Yes,” Vera said, sitting down.

Rovi returned to his food, taking down five sausages and a stack of honeycakes. As he finished draining his second mug of Choco Water, Cassandra stood up from her table and clapped her hands.

“Dreamers!” she called. “Today is Realist Field Day. It may seem like they’re stronger than us, but we’ll challenge them with everything we’ve got. They’ve
