Inside the Board Meeting of the High Society Academy's Executives, an old man in flamboyant robes sat at the head of the table, exuding a commanding and respectful aura. His long dark beard and deep-set eyes lent him an air of wisdom and authority.
Seated around the table were sixteen other members, all hailing from prominent families that had significantly contributed to the academy's prosperity. The room was filled with a quiet intensity as the meeting commenced, the agenda including a review of the recent evaluation results of the examinees.
An older man with a stocky build and short stature raised his hand, catching the attention of the presiding officer. He leaned forward and said with conviction, "We can't accept that Caldwell kid. He's a noble from the Mitish Kingdom under the famous Silverfein Family, but so what? He doesn't have a Mana Heart."
