Leo stopped dancing. His heart was hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. This was the moment of truth.

"Hmm? You can also see the system panel and the timers?" Leo was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly shook his head. "No, I'll talk about that later. Don't distract me now."
He didn't even feel this nervous when the result of his exams was about to be released. It was also because he knew that what a massive success he was going to have this time.
"Fifty-nine... fifty-eight..."
He held his breath. He could almost hear the sound of seconds ticking away, even though the timer from the system was completely silent.
"Ten... nine... eight..."
Leo closed his eyes, a serene smile spreading across his face.
"Seven... six... five..."
