With the entrance ceremony concluded, Zen made his way to his new dorm, the anticipation of a fresh chapter in his academic journey coursing through him. As he entered the room assigned to him, he couldn't help but be impressed by the modern amenities and the comforting ambiance.
Eager to explore, Zen decided to check his Status Nexus. Activating the holographic interface, he discovered his ranking – 969 out of 1000. Considering the entry exam was attempted by over many individuals, he felt a mix of pride and determination but in this academy this still considers low. The academy was a vast arena of potential, and he was ready to carve his path within its illustrious walls.
As Zen was gazing out of the dorm window, the academy grounds sprawled before him, a realm of endless possibilities. With a resolute expression, he contemplated the challenges and triumphs that awaited him. Little did he know that his journey had just begun, and the future held secrets and encounters that would shape his destiny within the academy and beyond.
From his lofty dorm window, Zen caught sight of two shadows dancing against the evening glow. Intrigued, he followed his curiosity and took a daring leap from his elevated residence. Landing gracefully, he found himself in the presence of two extraordinary individuals.
The first was Orion Storm a strikingly handsome 1st-year boy, his dazzling white hair and sharp green eyes making an unforgettable impression. The second was Luna Ember a woman of unparalleled beauty, with purple eyes and flowing crimson red hair that hinted at an air of mystique. Zen observed them discreetly, noting them one of the few individuals he has spotted during the opening ceremony ranked – 3 and 9 in the first year.
Deciding not to eavesdrop on their private conversation, Zen opted to respect their privacy. However, amidst the muffled exchange, the name "Ralph" reached his ears. As the enigmatic duo continued their discussion, Zen couldn't shake the feeling that the mention of this name might play a significant role in the unfolding narrative of his time within the academy.
With the day's events lingering in his thoughts, Zen retreated to his dorm room. As he lay in the comfort of his new surroundings, the name "Ralph" echoed in his mind. Pondering the significance, he recalled that it belonged to the student ranked 2nd among 1st year students.
Shrugging off the curiosity for the time being, Zen murmured a nonchalant "whatever" to himself. Drifting into the realm of dreams, he allowed the mysteries of the academy to weave their tales, promising to unravel the enigma of Ralph and the countless other secrets that awaited him in the days ahead.
