The Dean's focus sharpened, her interest finally piqued as she leaned forward slightly.
"Who is it?"
Hamiel exhaled, his posture relaxed but his words carried weight—
"There were many talented students over the years, but two stood out the most."
He let his gaze drift momentarily, recalling the first candidate before continuing—
"The first is the daughter of the Sword Emperor—similar to him yet entirely different in her own way. Though she still lacks the final edge compared to her father, the potential is undeniable."
His fingers tapped against his desk absently as he added—
"She's in her second year and even the first rank of the Aether Class, meaning there's still room for her to grow—to sharpen herself."
The Dean nodded slightly, absorbing the information, but Hamiel wasn't finished yet.
Hamiel's voice lowered slightly, his tone carrying a subtle weight as he spoke—
"The second one is the First Child of the Emperor—the Crowned Prince."
