410 The Trials... and Sudden Change of Plans

Lina had chosen who she was going to take with her on the Trials, but that didn't ease the tension in the pit of her stomach. Whether it was because of the headstart her brother was getting or something else was beyond her comprehension.

"Do we have everything we need?" Lina asked the girls.

"I'll double-check just to be sure," Crysta replied, removing her rucksack from her back to start the check.

"No, that will take a lot of time. We need to catch up with my brother. Just make sure you've packed the map, we need to go," the royal stopped her anxiously. Somehow everything around her seemed to be moving slower and slower.

Crysta's reaction time and actions seemed overly relaxed and… slow. 'At this rate, we'll find Drake fat from stuffing himself while waiting for our arrival at the Great Arena,' the girl thought to herself.
