The school year officially begins.
The classroom is massive, built in descending semicircles with a central podium, just like a university lecture hall.
Chris sits in one of the last rows.
On his right is Alexia.
On his left, Jasmine.
Kellen Wynne—the blond guy who fought Alexia in the opening duel and ranked second in all of HESPARC Academy—is sitting to her right.
Someone walks through the door, and silence falls instantly.
It's a man whose presence demands respect—short red hair, ice-colored eyes.
Vincent Carreaux, the head of the education division at the academy.
In other words, the principal.
The few whispers that survived his entrance vanish the moment he clears his throat.
«It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to HESPARC Academy. As future HESPARC agents, we will do everything to provide you with the best education possible, and we expect the same level of commitment from you...»
Those words make Chris shiver—he's restless with excitement.
