The Drawing of Fates
Redrick was led through the Central Academy grounds by one of their teachers, his steps echoing faintly as they moved away from the main event area. Their destination was a separate building, a broad, high-roofed structure that resembled a magical sports hall.
From the outside, it looked grand enough to host a full tournament. But when they stepped inside, Redrick immediately noticed the difference: the place wasn't open to the public. The stands were empty, the floor polished but unused, and the lighting was set low. Whatever this meeting was about, it wasn't meant for spectators.
Five people had been called here in total, Redrick included, and as his eyes swept the room, he recognized four other teachers from various academies. One of them represented the Central Academy itself. Yet aside from them, the hall was silent and bare.
