~ At that instant, their eyes met. And their lives forever changed. ~
Maru tried to steady her breath when she entered the university gates.
She still can't believe that she made it to The University of Meredith.
Heralded as the top college in the entire state of Belmore, even her own parents could not believe their luck when she received an acceptance letter from the school.
Belmore's governance system has always been noble-centered. Meaning, the best opportunities were reserved for those with aristocratic lineage.
The University of Meredith only accepts the elite, with the additional requirement of being a genius. Both characteristics she clearly does not possess.
So it was the biggest surprise of her life to receive an acceptance letter from the institution.
If she graduates from this academy, her future is sealed and delivered. She can practice any craft she chooses. Be it as an assassin, a mage, a strategist, or a healer.
