They disappeared into fitting rooms. I found a chair near the entrance and sat down. Pulled out my phone. Checked messages.
Nothing from Nolan. Expected. Guy was probably reviewing battle strategies for the hundredth time.
One from Noel in the team group chat. Tomorrow 9am sharp. Don't be late D'Angelo.
One from Usagi replying. I'll be there! Good luck everyone!
One from Solana. Reminder all students battle trials begin 10am. Report to your assigned arena 30min early for equipment check.
I responded to the group chat with a thumbs up. Pocketed my phone. Waited.
Ten minutes passed. Mera emerged first wearing the black bra and matching panties over her regular clothes like she was modeling. The saleswoman looked mildly scandalized but held her professional composure.
"What do you think?" Mera asked.
"Looks good."
"Just good?"
"Looks great."
"Better." She disappeared back into the fitting room.
