Chapter 66 - Ceremony (2)

Ethan soon finished his speech and left the podium; he then handed the stage to the High-Commander of the academy. The man stood tall and imposing, his ebony hair, cropped short, was meticulously groomed, a stark contrast to his piercing cerulean eyes. A faint stubble shaded his chiseled jawline, adding a rough edge to his otherwise polished appearance. Garbed in a crimson and gold colored suit, he exuded an air of refined sophistication. "My name is Liam Goldstone, and I am the appointed High-Commander of the Imperial Vale academy. First off, his Majesty has said what needed to be said. The academy will recruit students today. Those who have the affinity with the academy shall attend, those that do not possess the affinity would not be taken into the academy."
