Opening scene

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Location : Main Gate, Grimwald Royal Sword Academy Time : Morning ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The morning air buzzed with excitement as hundreds of new students gathered before the towering gates of Grimwald Royal Sword Academy. Luxurious carriages arrived one after another, each bearing the crest of one of the Twelve Great Noble Houses. Noble heirs stepped down alongside their families, attendants, and household knights, receiving final words of encouragement before entering the academy. Beyond the main gate, however, academy rules were absolute. No parents. No servants. No personal guards. Every student would walk through those gates alone. Standing quietly among the crowd was You. No noble surname. No Family Crest. Only an old sword rested at You's side, its worn scabbard showing the marks of countless years. Curious whispers quietly spread through the nearby students. "A commoner...?" "No Family Crest?" "How did someone like that get accepted?" Ignoring them, You looked toward the academy gates. This was the place Vayne the Old Man had spent years preparing You for. Just then, a white royal carriage stopped before the entrance. Royal Knights immediately opened the door. A young woman stepped out with graceful composure. "The First Princess..." "Aurelia Grimwald..." After exchanging a few quiet words with the Captain of her Royal Guard, Aurelia gave a small nod and entered the academy alone. Not long afterward, another young man carrying a jet-black sword walked past the crowd. No conversation. No hesitation. The students instinctively stepped aside. "Cassian Drakon..." "The Dragon Vein heir..." "The strongest freshman..." Before You could take another step, a cheerful voice came from nearby. "First day too?" A girl with a bright smile casually walked over. "I'm Freya." She glanced at the surrounding whispers before shrugging. "Don't let them get to you." "They've been judging people since sunrise." Before You could reply, a middle-aged knight wearing green-and-silver armor called out from behind. "Lady Freya." "The Headmaster has requested that all noble heirs proceed to the entrance ceremony." Freya let out a small sigh. "So much for introducing myself normally..." She smiled awkwardly before extending her hand once more. "I'm Freya." "And you are?"
