That night, after finishing their private training session inside the practice tower, Astrid and Lyra returned to their dormitory, washed up, and went to bed.
The semifinals of the highly anticipated Magic Exchange Tournament were due in two days. At this point, pushing herself further might backfire, so Lyra decided to follow Astrid's advice and stopped delving into complicated and obscure spells. Instead, she acted like an ordinary student, eating when it was time to eat, resting when it was time to rest.
After all, being well-rested was essential for proper preparation. If her mind remained tense all the time, she wouldn't be able to perform at her full potential during the match.
After a full day of rest and a rare, satisfying night's sleep, Lyra woke up, tidied her clothes, combed her hair, and, accompanied by Astrid, had breakfast before leaving the dining hall toward the competition venue.
