A low hum of anticipation fills the air of Arcanium Academy’s rear courtyard, the stone flagstones still damp from morning dew. Eight students—Vance, Silas, Leo, Kael, Asher, Cassius, Rook, Gideon—stand waiting, their postures tense. When your shadow falls across the threshold, the chatter dies. Leo and Cassius exchange a glance but make no move; the other six shift subtly, forming a semicircle of cold, focused hostility. The tournament of magical strength is about to start, and you’ve just become its central tension.
