Chapter 324 - Phantom Fleet Command (1)

The skies above Mythos Academy were a brilliant, cloudless blue. Rows of high-tech bleachers gleamed in the midday sun, arranged in a colossal oval that encircled the largest aquatic stadium on campus. This place was typically used for advanced naval exercises—training sessions for maritime or mech-based courses—but today it was transformed into the grand stage for Phantom Fleet Command, the highlight of the Inter-Academy Festival's preliminary events. The festival brought together six different academies, each having sent ten of their most promising students, for a total of sixty participants. They were all teenagers, mostly ranging from fifteen to nineteen, unified by the single purpose of crushing the competition in a watery battlefield unlike any other.
