"Friends!" she said gracefully, rising from her seat and leaving the musical instrument behind, and looked at the assembled students with enthusiasm. "Congratulations on your admission to the national academy named after Levia S-Starlit!" At the mention of her own name in this context, the girl's face flushed, and her voice trembled slightly. "Grandpa, why did you do that to me..." she murmured so quietly that no one but her could make out the words. "You have made the right choice by deciding to enroll in this institution. Here, you will surely be able to unlock your own potential and learn more about the world around you; you will open the locks of your hearts and understand their true aspirations, learn to stand up for yourselves and your ideals. You will find true friends and together leave your mark on the history of this world! You, young talents of this country, are needed not only by Sakuramoria, but also by Lafrenia and the rest of the world that lies beyond the sea. Be sure of this and step into the next day with your heads held high! And don't forget, you are the first generation of this academy; in a hundred years, all your successors will know the names of the first five classes that started our common history!"
Following another round of applause, Shera, Nira, and Cassia were called to the stage.
"These three bright minds showed the best results on the entrance exam, let's give them a round of applause." The hall erupted in applause. "Girls, do you have a few words you would like to share with your peers?" Shera gently nudged Nira, and she stepped forward. "Niriana Melvans!" the headmistress introduced her. "We are listening to you!"
