In a white room with not a single window in sight, a woman stood before rows of kids. She was clad in white robes that hid most of her body, only her flawless face out on display for the world to see.
Pursing her lips, she spoke, her voice elegant and gentle, as if speaking to her own child.
"Children, do not forget—even when it feels like you won't make the cut, the gods will surely support you. Do not lose faith or hope, for the gods will bless you all with powerful blessings."
The dozens of kids in the room smiled at her words, their young eyes sparkling with determination and hope.
"We will prove ourselves worthy!" all of them shouted in unison, their chests puffed up in pride.
The lesson for the day was over, meaning the kids were free to do what they wanted from now on.
"Eldros!" As soon as the lesson was over, a girl on the shorter side paced toward Eldros.
