(Chapter 70 – Welcoming Speech)

The Entrance Gate Facilities Hall gleamed under the soft radiance of a golden sun, its crystal roof reflecting the sweeping skies beyond the academy's Southern Region.
Far beyond the transparent arches, the grand Southern Entrance Gate stood – ancient, solemn, a reminder that for many, this was only the first step into Eden Domineer Academy.
The hall was vast, wide enough to house thousands, yet filled with only a fraction: the new recruits.
They clustered in small groups, some standing tall with pride, others still bearing bruises and bandaged arms from the dungeon trials.
Though three days had passed since the trial, many injuries had yet to heal – a testament to the brutality they had endured. Some had suffered broken limbs, while others bore deep gashes and scars, yet here they stood, a living testament to the academy's superior treatment facilities and, perhaps more importantly, to their own tenacity.
