1st year End

"To all the students within the academy, I can't express how immensely proud I am to see all of you here today. Although today marks the end of a year for your time here, please—"

The principal's voice echoed through the gymnasium, his words full of pride and encouragement, but I wasn't exactly paying attention.

It was early morning, the academy grounds blanketed in a fresh layer of snow, signaling that the semester was truly coming to a close.

I let the principal's speech drift past my ears, my thoughts wandering as I glanced at the students around me.

Some were visibly emotional, wiping away tears as if this was one of their final moment of their lives here.

A soft sigh escaped me.

'They're being way too dramatic…'

The school year had just ended.

It wasn't even graduation yet….

The chances of graduation are slim to begin with.
