章 91: Ownership of the staff of Estelle 12

As the meeting progressed, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense. The explosion at Heiron bank had shaken the academy, leading to heated discussions about how to address the aftermath and prevent future incidents. Armin Dieter, the influential president and chairperson of the merchant company overseeing the commercial district, grew visibly frustrated with the diverging opinions.

With a sudden slam of his hands on the large round table, Armin vented his frustration, catching everyone's attention.

The other eleven individuals seated around the table, including faculty heads, heads of departments, and council members, were momentarily startled by the outburst. Sasha, who sat beside Armin, couldn't help but feel the weight of the situation, as the pressure intensified between those aligned with the Duke Heiron's interests and those advocating for the academy.
