Winnifred gave out a hefty sigh and flopped over to her bed in her dorm room, surverying the room to make sure all of her belongings were in their proper places. Between the opening ceremony, double checking which class would be held where so she wouldn't get lost this year, and moving back into the dorms, she hadn't gotten much time yet today to relax. She let herself lay on the bed for a few more minutes before sitting up and pushing herself off the bed. She figured she needed a proper, casual walk to stretch her legs and she was bored anyway. Maybe there'd be something interesting going on elsewhere on school grounds. The first thought that entered her mind as she began walking was that perhaps there would be students having practice matches in the academy's gym already. She thought that'd at least be exciting to watch, and so she made that her destination.
However, as Winnifred arrived and opened the door to look inside, she was just about immediately disappointed. From the looks of things, a much had indeed been going on, that was for sure. But it also looked like it had already finished up. Not only that, but of the two apparent participants - a boy and a girl who were already mid-conversation with a couple of others - the boy seemed in especially bad shape. The only response Winnifred gave as she observed was a quiet "Hmph," of intrigue. She hadn't expected other students to be getting into such intense matches right away, she at least thought'd it'd be a day or two.
Winnifred suddenly realized she'd still been watching the whole time through the gym's doorway. After a brief internal debate as to whether she should leave or stick around, she decided she'd already walked all the way here and still didn't have much to do anyway just yet, so she stepped properly inside the gym and took a seat for the time being. Winnifred figured she'd at least wait a bit and see how things went, or at least see if any other matches started up.
