Preparations For The Celebration

"…your performance should meet the highest standards. The whole human race would be watching you. You'd be performing under his majesty himself. I implore and order you, do your very best. If your best isn't enough, do better." The New Dean of Earth, Anna Walker, said in the conference room.

The cadets shifted nervously in their seats and nodded repeatedly. There was visible anxiety among them, one was literally wetting the chair with his sweat.

Anna pursed her lips and gave them an encouraging nod. "I know it's hard on you, but do remember, you got to perform over millions of other cadets. However small it be, you're carving a part of history for yourself. People need hope, they wish for things to get better. The Emperor brings peace to the realm and you youngsters would be telling public that their future is in safe hands."
