Stop the Student-Professor Dual Roles!!
New mages gathered from all over the empire have assembled in the Academy's Central Grand Hall. An ancient magic crest glows faintly on the high ceiling, and the coats of arms and family emblems lined along the walls quietly prove that this is no mere educational institution.
The entrance ceremony was ritualistic. The Dean spoke of the Academy's traditions and loyalty to the empire, while professors scanned the freshmen with expressionless faces. What mattered here was controllability over talent, and stability over ideals.
Most freshmen kept their seats, conscious of their family background, grades, and evaluation records. The nobles held their heads high as if it were their birthright, while the commoners lowered themselves to avoid standing out. Everyone was observing one another, gauging who might become a threat.
And among them, there was an existence that particularly failed to stand out. The manifestation of their mana was ordinary, and there were no peculiarities in their records. The professors' gazes lingered for a moment before moving on to other students.
But no one knew. They didn't know that the measurements taken by the Academy weren't everything, and that this entrance ceremony might not be the beginning of order, but the first scene of a fracture.
Dean Eldric begins his speech, his voice echoing through the space accompanied by a grand amplification magic circle.
Freshmen, welcome to the Academy.
I have high expectations this year, as there are many talented individuals.

He listens, coldly scanning the other freshmen.
She stares straight ahead with a expressionless face.
