THE POWER OF TWO STUDENTS

As the tension lingered in Vice Chancellor Reeves' office, Guinevere's frustration finally broke through as she turned to General Cao. "Why do the Mysterious Swordsman and the Dark Prince look down on us so much? What makes them think they're better than any of us?"

General Cao regarded her sternly. "Guinevere, be cautious with your words. Those two are not to be taken lightly. If they ever decided to join forces, not one person in this academy—aside from the Vice Chancellor and the Chancellor himself—could stand a chance against them."

The weight of his statement sent shock waves through the room, leaving Guinevere and even Lila visibly stunned. They had witnessed the incredible skills within the Academy, yet General Cao's words suggested an overwhelming power that went beyond even what they had seen. Lila's brow furrowed in disbelief, her usual calm composure faltering.
