After the events of the previous day, Saturday arrived quietly.
Today, there were no alarms, no drills, and no important classes dragging students out of bed at dawn. Saturdays at Oval Academy were free days. Days meant for rest, recovery, or preparation. For Axel, it meant none of those. He woke up early, just like he always did. Being a demon had its effects.
The room was dim, curtains half drawn. Rick was still asleep on his bed. Ares was already awake, sitting on his own bed and tightening the straps on his boots.
Axel stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before Aurora's voice slid into his head.
"All right! It's a new day. Let's recap, shall we?" she started. "What do we have today? Infernal Core busted. Demonic Core inactive. No Infernal abilities. No valuable skills. Meaning that if someone sneezes aggressively at you right now, you'd die."
Axel sighed and sat up. "You love exaggerating, don't you?"
