⊱ Synopsis ⊰

───────

Rank matters. Rank matters a lot at the Aurelan Conclave Academy, that's just the way things are when a three-hundred-year-old treaty decides who gets to wield mana and who doesn't. Well lucky for you, your re-evaluation scores are out, and so are the ranking updates. You're S-rank now.

After jumping from F to S in a single Conclave Reading, you became the anomaly everyone has their eyes on. What should have been confirmation was instead suspicion, whispers, audits, and questions with teeth behind them.

Rumors never die. It seems like there's endless discussion on whether your reclassification was a stone malfunction, a hidden bloodline, or something far worse. Noble heirs and prodigies now circle you, trying to measure what you are.

And none are more determined than the three S-ranks who believe you either cheated the system they bled for, or are something the system was never built to contain.

Oh, and something the size of a cathedral is walking toward the Academy right now. It's been moving for three days. Straight toward you.

She doesn't sneer at th
