Celeste's POV

Mixed Combat Lab, 8:12 Am
"Alright guys," I managed a smile as each team hurdled together, my eyes sweeping past all their faces. Including — dear goddess — Lysandra. "Do you think we need a leader for a test like this? Or—?"
"Pfft." Sure enough, Lysandra scoffed, already being a bitch. "Of course, you'll talk about picking a leader. One Blood Trials win is already getting to your head."
My mouth parted. "You can't be seriously trying to antagonise me right now."
"Did I lie?"
"Enough." The female senior year hybrid stopped us before things could escalate. "Since it's a free-for-all, I doubt we'll need a leader. What we should plan now is tactics and who'll face whom in the other teams."
At the mention of that, my head turned to the other teams.
The wolf side had picked out Luther as one of their representatives… as expected. He and his teammates muttered amongst themselves, his face stretched with a grin when our eyes locked.
