Days passed after the tournament.
Jax walked through the academy gates, protein bar in one hand, smartphone in the other. The morning air was crisp, students scattered across the courtyard.
His mind drifted back to two days ago. The mess at Sterling Mansion. The chaos. The defeat.
And Emma's wish.
He chuckled, shaking his head. 'The dumbest wish in history. That's what everyone's calling it.'
She could've asked for anything. Wealth. Power. Influence. Hell, she could've demanded Calista's crown or Nyx's kingdom.

"I wish to enroll in Starlight Academy. Same year. Same class as Jax Rayne."
The crowd had erupted. Calista sighed with relief. Nyx actually laughed. The entire world watching the broadcast couldn't comprehend it.
'She could've gotten in next year. Or forced her way in this year through sponsors. Why waste something precious on this?'
But Jax knew the answer.
