A task laced with complications, for Valerian possesses otherworldly abilities and a personality that clashes with everything Anastasia stands for. When a series of gruesome murders entangles them with Ambrose Riese, the youngest scion of the powerful Spes Lawfirm, the trio forms an uneasy alliance to confront a rising tide of chaos.

As darkness threatens to consume them, they must navigate treacherous paths, facing inner demons and forging unlikely alliances. The lines blur between heroes and villains as they battle not only external threats but also the shadows within themselves. Ana's journey becomes a thrilling odyssey of redemption, truth, and justice, leading her to question whether she can triumph over her past or risk becoming something far more sinister. The fate of a fractured world hangs in the balance, and Ana's choices will determine whether she rises as a hero or succumbs to the darkness. Prepare for a saga where alliances shift, allegiances blur, and the past casts a haunting shadow on an uncertain future.

Chapter 96: 1 Academic Duel and 1 Missing Valerian

Ana

Ana stood with Margo and Lily in front of the giant glass doors of the Academy Lecture Hall.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Of course, people would gather." Margo explained.

"So duels aren't common?" Ana asked.

"Despite what you may think, the Imperial 10 are pretty hard to beat. People don't even consider challenging them in the first place. If one of them graduates, another student is simply appointed to fill that spot." Lily muttered excitedly.

"Yup, I think it's been about 5 years since the last duel. The challenger lost the duel miserably and hand to get expelled. Since then, no one dared to even challenge the Imperial 10." Margo added.

"Wait expelled?"

"Those are the conditions. If the royal loses, they will be dethroned but if the challenger loses they will be expelled."
