Everyone was called to gather at the Auditorium. I heard Miss Hel has an announcement to make. Upon entering the room, Axiara quickly noticed that Meredith and her friends, Ash and Tina were talking about her.
"Look! Remember that woman from the cafeteria? She wasn't able to pay for her food a few days ago. Now, she got herself a black card. I even saw her yesterday looking all pathetic." said Meredith.
"Really? How did she manage that? She doesn't look any wealthy at all." Tina murmured.
"I know, she looks very cheap. How could she afford it?" Ash commented.
"She probably sold her body or her family in exchange for money HAHAHA!" Meredith smirked as they laughed in unison.
Axiara just ignored what she heard and walked past them.
"I can sense danger from Meredith's group. Looks like they found another prey." Athena said.
"I know, they've been looking into our direction and talking non-sense. It seems Axiara is their target this time." Jay commented
"They must be planning something. You need to be careful around them, Axiara. Just stick with us I'm sure they won't bother messing with you as long as you are with us. They ganged up on a scholar before, the girl even collapsed. They left her on the field and didn't call for help. If she wasn't discovered by an elite she could have died ". Kassiana added.
"How can they do such a thing".
"Horrible people can do horrible things. They must have a bad childhood growing up. She believes she owns this place but I know she will meet her Karma soon enough". Jay looked at them with disgust and turned her attention to Axiara.
Miss Hel suddenly emerged onto the center stage prompting everyone to keep quiet.
"Ahem, good morning students!"
"Good morning, Ms. Hel!" The student's yelled in unison.
"Now, now, everyone please settle down. As most of you already know Orion celebrates its annual tradition. A tradition where we get to see and recognize individual talents and the strongest Kin there is. A lot of you will graduate and soon will join our forces serving the world. This must be the last festival for some of you but the journey of the new recruits have just began. Let us all welcome them and be acquainted with each other during the ball. I, the Headmistress formally announce the opening of this year's Concocido and the most awaited War of the Kins Festival. Are you excited? Who do you think will emerge as the winner this year? Let me hear your voice. (audience cheered loudly)
"Royals! Royals! Royals! Let's goo Elites!!!! Scholars! Scholars! Mastersssss ahoo ahoo!" the students exclaimed in excitement.
"See you all on friday evening, Orions" Miss Hel announced before she walked out from the stage.
"We are definitely going out today to pick a dress for the ball. Axiara, I don't accept a no for an answer". Athena happily asked.
"Of course, count me in."
"Perfect! 5 pm at the lobby then."

The girls immediately gathered after the classes ended and went on to shop for dresses.
"I don't think any of these will fit me." Axiara said worriedly.
"Relax! come on, let me see what you got." Athena exclaimed
"Pick me something simple. Getting attention at that party is the least of my worries."
"Nah, don't be. I guess red suits you better. You should try this."
