The Unseen Tension

"New students, first of all, congratulations on your enrollment."

The headmaster of the academy stood on the podium, a gentle smile on his face as he addressed the crowd.

"You have been accepted into the Royal Academy, the largest educational institution in the kingdom of Aiwood. From here on, you will gain knowledge and power, preparing yourselves to soar into the world beyond. I hope you live a life here without regrets… though, I know, that's easier said than done. Still, I wish for all of you to create memories with friends that you can look back on and laugh about as adults."

(A life without regrets in school… that's definitely easier said than done.)
