Dangerous Reunions

The director of Genova Academy had ambitious plans. 

She intended to personally give a tour to Golden Cosmos, showcasing Eratz as a symbol of the academy's legacy while basking in the attention of reporters.

But Zara firmly declined, requesting that they be treated like any other guest. Despite the director's annoyance, she begrudgingly agreed, realizing her hopes for a spectacle had been dashed.

"What about crowd control?" Zara inquired.

The director explained.

"There's a designated area for challengers within the academy walls. It's quieter, with limited public access and a few well-disciplined students."

Zara nodded. 

"That will do."

As they entered the academy grounds, the atmosphere shifted. Inside the walls, the chaos of the outer festivities was replaced with a more refined ambiance.
