As I stepped through the towering gates of Zodiac Academy, a sense of awe washed over me. The academy's sprawling campus was like something out of a fairytale, with its grand architecture and meticulously manicured gardens. The air was filled with a crisp, invigorating scent, and the sunlight filtered through the leaves of ancient, towering trees that lined the cobblestone paths.

My footsteps echoed on the path as I made my way towards the heart of the academy. My purpose here was clear, etched deep into my heart: revenge. Revenge against the Radiance, the ones who had pushed my sister Perse to her breaking point, driving her to end her own life. They would pay for what they did, and Zodiac Academy was the perfect place to prepare for that reckoning.

The students passing by were a mix of excitement and determination, each belonging to one of the twelve zodiac houses. I observed them carefully, knowing that some among them were undoubtedly connected to the Radiance. I couldn't help but wonder if they had any inkling of what was coming.

The academy's grand hall, where students gathered for ceremonies and announcements, stood ahead of me. Its towering columns and marble floors gave it an air of importance. A sense of determination welled up inside me as I pushed the doors open. I needed to rise through the ranks, gather information, and ultimately confront the Radiance.

As I entered the hall, I noticed the banners of the twelve houses hanging from the high ceiling, each bearing its unique emblem. I couldnt wait till i went to my house in second year. In first year. We were camped in house meandre- the girls house and house pliral- the boys house. This was to remove the idea of a divided territory. Seemed useless considering the division that would be done in second year.

As I moved through the bustling crowd, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. The academy held the key to my revenge, but it was also a place where I would have to tread carefully, navigate a web of alliances and rivalries, and keep my true purpose hidden.

But I was determined. I would rise through the ranks, earn their trust, and when the time was right, I would bring the Radiance to their knees. This was my solemn vow as I began my journey at Zodiac Academy, a journey fueled by sorrow and vengeance.

The night of the coronation ceremony at Zodiac Academy arrived with an air of anticipation that hung thick in the cool evening breeze. It was a grand affair, an event I had been looking forward to with a mix of excitement and determination. This was a night where I could make my presence known, start my ascent towards uncovering the truth about the Radiance.

The courtyard was adorned with countless twinkling lights that illuminated the dark sky, creating an almost magical ambiance. The twelve zodiac banners fluttered gracefully in the wind, a reminder of the prestigious houses that each student belonged to.

As I took my place among the crowd, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, thinking of Perse. She should have been here tonight, standing proudly as the royal of our family. Instead, I was here, fueled by her memory and the desire to avenge her suffering.

The ceremony began with the traditional procession of the zodiac royalty, each member of the Radiance leading their respective house. Their regal attire and confident strides marked them as the elite of the academy. My eyes scanned the crowd, searching for familiar faces, for any hint of guilt or remorse on the Radiance members' expressions. But they wore their masks of superiority well.

As the music swelled, the grandeur of the event washed over me. The coronation itself was a spectacle. The outgoing royals relinquished their titles with grace, passing the symbolic crowns to their successors. Applause and cheers erupted from the assembled students, celebrating the new leaders of their houses.
