Silence.
The entire Imperial Training Grounds is filled with silence as everyone drops what they are doing to look at me. Captain Daelon stands to the side with his arms crossed and his expression unreadable. Professor Aldric has his pen ready to write as he studies me from afar.
The cold wind ruffles my cloak as I continue to stand in my battle position. My left hand holds my original wand while my right holds the Origin Wand. I take a few more deep breaths to calm my mind. One. Two. Three. Four. Five.
I open them again and put all my focus on the targets.
I steady myself as I strengthen my grip on both my wands. The mana in my body starts to circulate faster and faster as I prepare for something never done before by any current mages of the time. This is the stuff of legends from books I have seen in the Hero Academy. Even Estes is completely focused on watching me, his book lying closed next to him.
One last deep breath. Today, I can make history.
