"Ah….."
Sylvie's attention snapped toward Jasmine's exclamation, startled by the sudden sound. "Ah…" Jasmine's eyes were wide, her hand hovering over her mouth as she stared ahead with something akin to shock.
"What?" Sylvie asked, her voice faint but tinged with curiosity. She followed Jasmine's gaze, her heart skipping as her eyes landed on the source of the commotion.
Even she couldn't help the faint gasp that escaped her lips.
"What?" Sounds like those continued to rain towards her….

SILENCE!
The garden seemed to fall into a hushed reverence, the lively chatter dissolving into a quiet murmur as the students turned to look. Astron walked with an air of quiet confidence, his strides unhurried but purposeful. The golden insignia on his uniform glinted in the sunlight, and his piercing purple eyes scanned the crowd with cool indifference.
