Chapter 4: Arrival at the academy
As Zara gazed out toward the academy gates, a weight settled on her chest.
’Before I can even enter... I have to get my mana core tested.’
She clenched the hem of her dress, knuckles turning white.
’What if I don’t pass the test?’
’In the game, my talent was the worst. I only scraped by because of my physical strength. and I passed, giving physical test...’
A quiet sigh escaped her lips as doubt crept in like a shadow.
Meanwhile, within the space, the system—currently shaped like a tiny, floating cat—was zoning out, muttering to itself.
[Ahhh, I’m going to get beaten by the boss when he finds out what I’ve done...]
The carriage slowed to a gentle halt in front of the academy gates, and a sharp knock on the window snapped Zara out of her spiral thoughts.
She blinked her eyes, then slid it open.
Outside stood the captain.
