章 103: Rules

Reina, the black-haired girl, one of the seven elites of the second years, watched as their instructor, her aunt Merel, returned after giving the first years a good 'talk.' Her lips curled up as she noticed many of the first years were anxious or fearful. She thrived on this reaction, feeling a sense of superiority and satisfaction.

However, as she surveyed the group, her eyes landed on a brown-haired boy who seemed unfazed. He stood out because of his indifferent and cold gaze directed at her aunt. For some reason, this got on Reina's nerves. Who was this boy to look at her aunt with such disdain?

Reina's rage intensified as she continued to watch him. Despite the tension in the room, the boy remained calm, his eyes shifting from her aunt to meet her own. Their gazes locked for a moment, and Reina felt a surge of anger at his audacity. Yet, he only held her gaze briefly before turning his attention elsewhere, completely dismissing her.
