Finally came the day everyone had been waiting for.
All the First Years, including the delegations from the Solara and Faelarun Academies, had gathered in the plaza.
Emotions were running high for everyone knew that the upcoming expedition wasn't anything ordinary.
It was a competition and a battle of pride and glory.
"Have the leaders done a headcount?" Professor Rowan asked.
"All the Solara students are here, Professor," Prince Garen replied.
"Everyone from Faelarun is accounted for," Prince Kaelen answered.
The Headmaster then glanced at the Student Council President, who gave a small nod.
"All First Years are present, Professor," Theo replied.
The Student Councillors had two roles. One, they would serve as bodyguards for the guests. Two, they would monitor their juniors.
In other words, they would also enter the dungeon as observers. They would not participate in the competition in any way, but they would keep an eye out for anything unusual.
