Two Days Ago...
In a distant land, far removed from the bustling cities and common folk, a grand yet secluded office loomed within the heart of an Academy.
A woman sat gracefully upon a throne like chair, her posture exuding an air of authority.
Shadows cloaked the dimly lit chamber, concealing her face from view.
Before her rested a polished desk, its surface meticulously arranged with stacks of documents and scrolls.
Flap.
Flap.
The soft rustling sound of pages turning filled the silent room, the only indication of her presence.
Her delicate fingers gliding over the parchment, eyes scanning the words with sharp precision.
It was evident—she was reviewing important documents.
Then, she spoke.
Her voice was soft, melodious, yet carried an unmistakable weight of command.
"Hmm... It seems this year's candidates for the entrance exam are quite... monstrous."
A pause.
Her golden eyes gleamed behind the veil of shadows as she considered the implications.
