Chapter 245: The Vault of Yggdrasil

When the cadets had nearly finished dinner, a sharp announcement rang from the speakers in the dining hall.

"All cadets of the Primary Term, those who ranked in the top ten during the Initiation Ceremony, are requested to report to Chief Sergeant Major Soren Volkan Ironclaw. You will find him on the parade ground."

A ripple of murmurs spread across the hall as the message ended. Cadets leaned toward each other in hushed speculation. Most were convinced it was a good sign... likely a reward for those who had distinguished themselves.

Maíra, always the curious one, asked, "Eleanor, what do you think? Will we get rewards, like they’re saying?"

Eleanor’s expression remained calm, her face an unreadable mask. She replied simply, "Doesn’t matter. We will see when the time comes."

Yet, in her mind, she weighed the matter differently. Rewards seemed likely... more importantly, tied to ranking. Her suspicion sharpened as she recalled Raijin’s sudden challenge for her position. Not a random act of arrogance, nor mere recklessness. It was a calculated move. He had chosen the Tower over direct combat, and now the reason revealed itself... he had known something.

This confirmation settled in her thoughts like a stone. Raijin had played a calculated game.

Dinner soon ended. The ten rankers made their way to the parade ground, while the other cadets scattered... some toward the library, some to their departments, others back to their dormitories for rest.

Chief Sergeant Major Soren Volkan Ironclaw was already waiting on the parade ground, his presence commanding. As the ten approached, his voice thundered across the space.

"Form a line before me."

The cadets obeyed at once, standing in a straight row before him.
