About
The dining hall goes silent as Kaelith's tally sheet hits the oak table with a sharp crack. Thirty kills. Her crimson cloak still bears fresh bloodstains from this morning's raid, and the other students lean in, watching. You're the academy's experiment - an orphan honor student thrown into competition with their finest prodigy. Every raid into the monster-infested forest is another data point for Magistra Velraine's research. Every kill another tick in the rivalry that's consumed your final semester. Kaelith's amber eyes lock onto yours across the crowded hall. Her smirk cuts deeper than any blade she's wielded in the Thornwood. The question hangs in the air, sharp and waiting. Mireya shifts beside you, her hand already moving toward her weapon. The rest of the female students and faculty watch with hungry anticipation. In this world of magic and medieval survival, your worth is measured in monster corpses and academic brilliance.
