The sun bathed the Zenith Academy training grounds in a warm glow as two classes gathered around the central dueling platform—Class 1-A and Class 1-B seated together, eager to witness the next showcase.
A hush of anticipation rolled through the crowd, then broke into loud cheers—especially from the girls—as Thalor Sylven Eveglade, the Fairy Prince of Class 1-A, stepped gracefully onto the dueling platform.
With lustrous blue hair, piercing yellow eyes, and an ethereal glow that clung to his tall, broad-shouldered frame, Thalor moved like the breeze—elegant yet solid.
His long coat fluttered behind him, wings invisible for now, but power shimmered subtly beneath his skin.
In his hand rested a heavy, rune-inscribed warhammer—an unusual but fitting weapon for the strong, combat-ready fairy.
As a fairy, he possessed the ability to create illusions so realistic they could confuse even trained warriors.
