The next morning at the Demon Academy did not begin with the usual chiming bells, but with a low, thrumming roar that echoed through the Academy's halls like a vicious challenge.
That roar came from the Beast Coliseum, a vast circular arena located towards the eastern side of the Campus and surrounded by obsidian stands. Dark runes pulsed along the walls, amplifying the cries of the waiting creatures until the very air seemed to shiver.
Today would be a class that was whispered about since the first day of the exchange program. As Albedo walked throughout the halls, he could spot crowds of Demon students filling the stands in restless waves as they all murmured in anticipation.
Every Demon student at the Academy was bonded to a personal beast, living weapons that reflected their master's strength and will.
Today, the visiting Humans and Elves were expected to meet them head-on, bringing their own companions if they dared.
