Prologue
Amphoreus Academy greeted the morning with its usual elegance—sunlit hallways, polished floors, and students already buzzing with quiet competition. And as always, every whisper eventually returned to one name.

She have the beautiful face, long+wavy and golden hair that shines. And her blue ocean eyes that mix with greenish field. She also have wealth that everyone will die for. Isn't she the "it" girl?
She walked through the corridor with calm confidence and usual elegance, accustomed to the glances that followed her. A new semester meant another ranking list, another confirmation of her place at the top.

Aglaea lifted her gaze, expecting to see her name at the top like always. But the moment her eyes found the first line, her breath caught.

Rank 2: Aglaea
