"The time is up!" Magister Dango announced with a voice that reverberated across all angles of the arena.
All eyes widened, especially those who still had their loved ones in the test zone.
"Don't tell me the three Elements are goners," a boy mage mustered enough courage to comment, but the weight in his tone betrayed that courage.
"But nothing has happened," another female mage replied, looking a little bit worried but settled.
However, Magister Dango, amidst the tense atmosphere that his announcement has created, began to laugh like a roaring demon.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
The laugh didn't stop until he had completed three stretched intervals of it.
Confused, everyone continued to watch the screens. Mobix was still engaged in his battle with the sentries, Lyra and Miriam running seemingly to where Mobix fought.
Could it be that…
"The time was all made up by me," he said after he stopped laughing, then began pointing at the screen bearing Miriam's figure.
