The sun had already started to set, leaving behind an orange veil of light that enveloped the sky.

Hollberg's city lights brightly lit the surroundings, and despite it being a relatively large city, skyscrapers appeared to be scarce.

Most houses consisted of five stories apartments or villas, and only occasionally would there be a skyscraper in the distance.

Stopping in front of a large mansion that looked to be the size of a football stadium, we quickly left the bus and headed toward the place.

As I left the bus, the first thing I did was stretch my back and legs.

I was honestly exhausted. Despite the fact that I hadn't trained at all today, my mind could barely function properly as everything around me became sort of hazy.

I guess using my brain was just as tiring as using my body.

...well that wasn't the only reason I was tired.

Recently I had only been getting on average 6 hours of sleep a day, which wasn't too bad if it was for a couple of days...but this had been a recurring thing for the past week or so.

Seeing how sleepy I was getting, I knew that the accumulated fatigue I had built up this past week had started crashing on me.

Shaking my head quickly, I looked around to find ways to take my mind off of sleeping.

...I only needed to wait for a further 5 to 10 minutes before being able to get some good shut eye.

As I was trying to keep myself awake, my eyes landed on the other side of the parking area where our bus parked.

Not so far from us, there were already five similar-looking buses parked near the mansion indicating that some of the other classes had already arrived.

Seeing that we weren't the last ones here, I felt my mind clear a bit.

'...it seems like we finished at just the right time.'

Since there were more groups coming, it meant that I had more time to rest.

This was good as I really needed to take a power nap.

"Alright, let's get going"

After talking to the driver of the bus for a bit, Donna waved goodbye to him and led us to the mansion.

Entering the mansion, a nice fragrance invaded my nostrils causing me to uncontrollably salivate.

Looking around, it seemed like I was not the only one who felt that way as most people were staring in the direction of where the nice aroma was coming from.

Turning around, Donna who seemed to have read what was on the mind of most people started speaking

"Alright everyone, I know you guys are hungry, but things need to be done in order."

Taking out a card from her pocket, she pointed towards the reception and said

"First things first, I will call you each by your name and you will then proceed to go to reception and collect your card. After that, you will come back here and wait for the others to finish before heading to your own designated room"

Seeing everyone's deflated looks, Donna lightly smiled and raised her brow

"Don't be so down, don't tell me you guys are planning on eating when you had just sweated for a whole day?"
