9:30 a.m. The competition officially began.

"Team Austenberg, Selene from the medical organization, Orla from Team M of the Youth category... please welcome these thirty contestants to the stage!" As the host's voice faded, Selene stood up from her seat.

Selene nodded and confidently strode towards the stage.

Selene smiled, her eyes lighting up with amusement. "Yeah, in the bag," she replied, then confidently walked onto the stage.
