"It's freakin' huge!"
"It's quite intimidating if you ask me…"
"C'mon Iris, we just have to trust in Azuri's plan and it'll be fine."
Dante placed his fist out in front of her and smiled wide, hoping to offer some support as he seemed to notice Iris' anxiousness seeping from her words. She looked at him and then his fist before slowly beginning to reach out. Until the familiar sound of voices came along, interrupting her motion.
"Welcome to the Dungeon! You've finally reached your starting lines, and it's time to get this show on the road! We will be following the many groups through our magic channels, thanks to the developments of Holdensburg Creative! Make sure to check their shop out for great makes!~" Kina yelled as the crowd cheered with sheer excitement for the start.
"Each student will be supplied with one potion, totalling a number of five in each group. Make sure you use them if a teammate or yourself is in need! Keeping a good number of potions will only increase the success of your teams! Here you go!~"
Students began to be handed small vials which contained potions which could restore a mages vitality in a pinch. Each filled with a red, juice-like liquid, Dante looked at his and placed it within his pouch. He felt another vial within the bag and remembered his past interaction with the kind lady from before that offered him a potion during his first day within the kingdom. He grinned to himself as he tucked the offered potion away.
"Hehe, two's better than one." he whispered to himself while he grinned, leaving Iris with a confused face, wondering what he could possibly be smirking about.
Many citizens of the kingdom were walking amongst the streets as spheres began to rise around the dungeon, showing many angles from within the dungeons themselves. Showing the outside world what was waiting from the students within the dungeon. The crowd cheered as the pure excitement from the event rolled over from the students to them.
"Do you hear that crowd? Let's get ready to get this show on the road! Everyone on your marks!~"
Everyone began to prepare to get started, getting into a running stance before the countdown began. Azuri looked at Jarrett as he pulled out his wand before everyone. He began to silently chant before the countdown started with a rather annoyed face. Iris gripped her cloak's collar and let out a deep breath, preparing herself for what was to come.
"You got this Iris…you've got this…!"
Dante looked forward and grinned to himself, not only knowing he'd have a chance to display what he could truly do, but to also try out some more tricks he thought up during his own training sessions. Though what really excited him was the prospect of seeing what everyone was capable of, himself included.
"Get set…"
"Let's do this…!"
"Do your best Iris…!"
"We will succeed…"
"Go!~"
"Celeri!" Jarrett yelled out loudly as an instant feeling of wind began to blow from under the group, a teal light shone under them as the sudden effects filled the team with the feeling of lightness that they haven't felt before. They quickly took off as they ran into the dungeons' doors. The crowd screamed out as they watched the teams run off into the dungeon, racing to see who could accumulate the most points in the quickest time. It was time for the Dungeon Walk to begin!
