/// ALICIA ASCALON ASHBORN - POV ///
I had prayed my first day at the magic academy would pass peacefully. But of course, life had other plans. Instead of a smooth beginning, I found myself standing before a crowd of students and a boy with a smug grin loudly accusing me of gaining admission through deceit.
"It's clear she doesn't belong here! I will prove to everyone she slipped in through unfair means."
A cold weight settled in my stomach. I didn't want to become a burden to Athena, not after everything she had done to get me admitted here—especially when she had even joined the academy as a teacher. If I faltered now, if I failed to prove myself, it wouldn't just tarnish my name. It would drag hers down with me.
No. I would never allow that.
If defending myself was all it took, then so be it.
