(Rodova Military Academy, Skill Archive Entrance)
As soon as Leo stepped out of the Skill Archive, he found Principal Alric's personal assistant waiting for him outside, standing stiffly by the door with a clipboard in hand.
The moment she spotted him, she gave a hurried bow. "Mr. Skyshard, Principal Alric requests your immediate presence. If you would follow me, please?"
Leo gave a small nod, tucking the newly issued holographic scrolls under his arm, and followed her without question.
He didn't know what Alric wanted now, but something about the assistant's anxious pace made it clear that this wasn't a casual summons.

When Leo stepped into Alric's office a few minutes later, he immediately noticed there was someone else already waiting inside.
A woman.
She stood near Alric's desk, dressed in a sharply tailored black business suit that somehow managed to look both practical and devastatingly expensive.
