Arriving back on Earth, Moon felt the warmth of the sun casting its rays on his body. It always felt good to be back. Not worrying about the next monster creeping up from a blind spot to take his head off.
"Have a blessed day, sir."
Moon returned the greeting from the guards stationed at the portal and made his way out.
He pulled out his phone. The screen lit up with a flood of notifications that took a moment to finish loading. Messages from Selene, Yara, Kael, and Tom.
Selene and Yara had spammed him. Worried questions, missed calls, voice messages. Both of them were afraid he would miss the tournament examination. The timestamps grew increasingly frantic the closer they got to the present.
"Right…I forgot to tell them about the direct entry pass I received."
Kael's message was different. A single text, sent days ago.
"Are you participating in the tournament?"
Nothing after that.
"Did Tom not tell him?" Moon muttered under his breath.
