Donald was a student in the Combat Department. He wasn't at the top of the class, but he wasn't far from the top ranks either. Among the academy's diverse mix of students—who ranged across different age groups and skill levels—he often found it challenging to make friends. The academy was a vast and competitive place, where standing out could be difficult, especially for someone still working to carve out a name for himself.
One day, Donald spotted a girl who was probably a few years younger than him, and yet, she caught his attention immediately. She was clearly a prodigy; her skills in the Combat Classes were exceptional, far beyond what he'd expect from someone her age. She moved with an effortless grace and precision that set her apart from the rest, and her reputation around the academy was growing fast.
