The crowd pressed closer to the board, voices rising in waves of excitement and disappointment.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A2FrBUPxh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOxfg4RF5N
Cel hung back, letting the others surge forward first. He could wait. The rankings weren't going anywhere.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHjCNxma2b
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1uDXbdCY7
Gradually, students filtered away. Some wore satisfied expressions. Others looked troubled, arms crossed as they muttered to friends about matches they should have won.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Xo7kQAqk
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2D3i7Hjn6
When enough space cleared, Cel moved closer.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabT5PUSHON
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAB8BtXQPN
His eyes tracked down the list.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaWEMbvDvM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLX5fOxF3y
Rank 1: Sylvaine Grovethorn45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PAKeiMpQQ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WX7yrNsuA
Rank 2: Owen Peakscale45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaZwFWX7hE

Rank 3: Hestia Mortveil45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKXBXUMJov
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNM9hqQzSK
Rank 4: Theron45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lMlsjEkzI
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw5IUWjmKC
Murmurs rippled through the crowd at that placement. The All-Blessed had grown up as a commoner, yet here he stood above every noble except three. Divine favor, apparently, included natural talent for fighting.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsBxvMDiDJ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6gLIr80ye
The unfairness of it settled in Cel's chest like cold stone.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYWwGXLFHX
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgYY1Kzh1n
Rank 5: Cordelia Tidecall 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihtWe19UDJ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyz2vsmq9c
Rank 6: Percival Tempest 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWctWac6jB
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe83CLbvaRN
Rank 7: Kyros Solgrand45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBj1m44zx8
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OX1x9GqOa
Then the remaining nobles in descending order - each one benefiting from years of private training, inherited techniques, artifacts passed through bloodlines.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOooB69mLg2
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnAzR8TMVE
Then—45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfWknH2238
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uvLh1tg90
Rank 15: Celvian45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOhi69g3Aw
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSYCcSQLmd
Cel stared at the number.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ080pA6ODCW
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gg45cz1kM
Fifteenth. The first commoner on the list. Above every other student who'd come from farming villages and merchant families.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJir7tyxic
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIKoFWr6FL
His jaw tightened.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jtZEm0SQd
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJmxtb7tDv
He'd held back deliberately. Fumbled his strikes. Made his bladework clumsy and uncertain. Pretended his strength was just an authority he couldn't control properly yet.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUAizN5NBh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9PsZ3fpnU
But even then, the gap between a trained noble and the commoners was vast. That couldn't be overcome by pretending to be weak.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecpALHNbmr
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuxa20VAMs
His gaze dropped further down the list. Past more names. More numbers.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSWwPM4yge
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6GnR3DSpx
Until he reached the bottom.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvkC4kySqK
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaMCtPycRy
Rank 40: Lior45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkELEbV7b58
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6qwTiTA2H
Last place.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OZP1Wc9cq
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPRep6qoLd
Dead last among all forty students.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLeL8ntUTj
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VL1HtylQM
Cel's gaze swept the crowd until he found him. Lior stood at the board's far edge, shoulders hunched inward like he was trying to disappear into his own uniform. His hands twisted together at his waist - that nervous gesture Cel had come to recognize.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr024oYutHH
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdFCX8a5gE
Their eyes met for a heartbeat.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLsWLrYueP
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLiT6C3Uek
Lior's throat worked. His fingers twitched once, as if reaching for something to hold onto.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtE2lHPgUP
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuVW01olWv
Then he turned and walked away.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6JhnicQ8q
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8iVsjk5Qb
Not toward the dining hall. Not toward the classroom. Just... away. His footsteps quick and unsteady, like someone fleeing before they broke apart completely.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMadCNeW8T
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvVZ5nX1AY
Cel watched until Lior disappeared around a corner, jaw tight.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL7iJepQtx
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm04GABZ1Ng
Morning assembly came and went. Theoretical classes passed in their usual rhythm - Instructor Saren's voice washing over topics Cel already knew.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo2GiDFflQ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ERTcnsww6
Lior's seat remained empty.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIg8SGtWWQ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU01THb0Qv
Afternoon combat training arrived. Students filtered onto the grounds, forming loose clusters while Instructor Calder barked orders.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAI7wgrZ4l
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8dM955zP0
Still no Lior.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpeXhX6vpr
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk9IaIHRDw
By evening, when dinner filled the hall with voices and the clatter of plates, his absence felt deliberate. Permanent.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iIoIY1XJX
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyrWP1KgG1
Cel ate alone at their usual table. The empty seat beside him felt heavier than it should have.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuhSVMgpGY
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzal6Myxypr
When the meal ended, he rose and made his way through corridors that had grown familiar over months of routine.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGbTKdSAUW
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPT8ODTZze
The commoner dormitory stood quiet. Most students remained in the dining hall or gathered in common areas. Cel's boots echoed against wood as he climbed stairs to the second floor.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJhpoy0bVY
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvEtNGCOC2
Lior's door waited at the end of the hall.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi3GCdSe4s
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcpBrDshqw
Cel stopped before it, hand raised to knock.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMebnIiGuZ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZYP7YuJXd
A sound filtered through the wood. Soft. Muffled.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjaUrmLsQF
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY1wqRc2uz
Whimpering.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljjevApXc7
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnyn2fKBZk
His hand froze mid-air.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdzknxZgTU
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRbXNM9zVF
The sound continued - broken, desperate. The kind of crying that came from somewhere deep, where all composure had finally cracked.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvjk1nTNOc
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmIj7I7tzh
Cel's hand lowered slowly.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4xp43ZTOE
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8DQkKvpBe
‘What am I even doing here?’45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDECEv3rJIB
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfypjwaw1x
He had no idea how to comfort someone. The concept felt foreign - awkward and uncertain, like trying to speak a language he'd never learned.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9wZO41QCw
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBcXt33MWA
When he'd broken down in that cell, no one had come. When nightmares tore him from sleep, he'd faced them alone. The only comfort he'd ever known was Lyra's occasional visits - her brightness cutting through the darkness for brief, precious moments.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdTYNJBaCO
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU9YfNY7BR
But Lyra had been a child. Natural warmth and affection poured from her without effort or thought.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBbKXWG9uC
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60lG54AWcM
Cel possessed neither.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsRPCQePiN
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16JVg85rPv
He should leave. Walk away. Let Lior have his privacy, his dignity.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzItY1zoHA6
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSinP8Pmfu
But the memory of his own tears - shed in darkness with no one to hear, no one to care - made his chest ache.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY62pw1qI9
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztrac4GZRp
Maybe the knowledge alone that someone cared… would be enough.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQoGEmwba7
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaieWhxBep5
Not enough to fix anything. But something.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ0mW3SlZz
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4ndzQ5nvO
Cel's knuckles met wood. Three sharp raps.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLocbvKYbw
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvQ8A5Yje1
The whimpering cut off instantly.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQm8HoQFEz
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhdTRT0i9d
Silence stretched. Then footsteps - hesitant, shuffling.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwE72TM83q
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvWHi5hNEe
The door opened a crack.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9l9OHl46a
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8FS3p0n9z
Lior's face appeared in the gap. Eyes red and swollen. Cheeks wet with tears he'd tried to wipe away but hadn't quite managed. His wheat-blond hair stuck up at odd angles where he'd run his hands through it.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBQRWUWs5b
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTy0e9onDc
"Cel?" His voice came out hoarse. Uncertain. "What are you..."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7zmva9Su5
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru63i5BTXW
"Can I come in?"45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jcshuB4eT
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5BjevoRXm
The question hung between them.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4ZTmZS3i0
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK6XzpPtpF
Lior's throat worked. He glanced back into his room, then at Cel, then down at the floor.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPq2aPC0ig
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQcN2eDoiD
Finally, he stepped back and pulled the door wider.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhwYvTKztl
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdO7Mucb8f
Cel entered.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXRh8G0yRN
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEGjS8VvTO
The room was identical to his own - narrow bed, simple desk, wardrobe. But Lior's space carried signs of actual habitation. Letters stacked on the desk, the ink barely dry. A practice knife resting on the windowsill. Blankets rumpled from restless sleep.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6XBIsetK2
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbfkLqVyoL
Lior closed the door and stood there awkwardly, hands twisting together. His gaze fixed on the floor between them.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbJlLADV62
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sueicUyO4
"I'm sorry," he said quietly. "I know I should have attended classes today. I just... couldn't."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5WRmSJ89J
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiIXZQ85Ps
"It's fine."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95HgARJrP9
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuepau98oa
The words felt inadequate. Hollow.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUSD2lB3S9
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP9ILUVEQj
Lior's shoulders shook. His breath hitched.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcROQEMw2rE
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkF6B55bKJ
"It's not fine." The admission came out broken. "Nothing is fine…”45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6tq4cDKTZ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QXnhjurDf
"Come," Cel said quietly, gesturing toward the bed. “Sit.”45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybWp4HU51p
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtkUUxaOBK
They settled on opposite ends of the bed - Lior perched on the edge like he might bolt at any moment, Cel leaning back against the wall.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJqZLNjcvU
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWUx5ZjYpg
Silence pressed in around them. Lior's hands twisted together in his lap, fingers white-knuckled.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsyIDaHwX2
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiANjU1Jldv
"I'm thinking about leaving," he said finally. The words came out flat. Empty. "Going home."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlRX1NERBr
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLavUwGEvss
Cel said nothing. Just waited.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVUAZHq6DT
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ4OTpCthu
"I don't—" Lior's voice cracked. He swallowed hard and tried again. "I don't amount to anything here. I'm last. Dead last. I can't learn fast enough even with you helping me. I can't fight properly. I'm a Chosen of the weakest goddess."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjtG2DKOBv
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhywgYC0Pw
His fingers twisted in the blanket.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQfU6Jr9FG
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZvcIoGPEV
"My artifact is blessed rank. A knife. Not even a sword - just a knife that barely cuts better than mundane steel. And my authority—"45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O4uHWYHgF
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN217KxQJx1
He lifted one trembling hand.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk1aiwoUJt
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgMtTcacTZ
Then, light bloomed. A small orb, no larger than an apple, casting barely enough illumination to read by.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FxomCF3ld
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2dh9yrNmx
"This." Bitterness bled through the word. "This is what the Moon Goddess gave me. Light. Not even bright light. Just... this."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIGEBvYi3C
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLAW2r3mJW
The orb flickered and died.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKji2CzZ1Ne
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIOpp4sbL1
"My priest is rank fourty-one," Lior continued, voice rising slightly. "Fourty-one! That's supposed to mean something. But look at me. Look at what I got."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IzgyhOeNv
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3mEBzR1fe
He pressed both hands against his face.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDF9pqncT3
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt7BlWLmab
"My mother sold everything she had to send me here," he whispered. "She worked herself sick for months just to afford the journey. And my father—" His voice broke completely. "He tried so hard to be proud. But I saw it in his eyes when the Moon Goddess chose me instead of... instead of someone stronger."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPu9rX0Lot
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8V1Ww4Pra
Tears slipped between his fingers.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX64hTiJB8
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cWy3HZRwN
"I don't belong here," he whispered. "Everyone knows it. The instructors. Kyros and his friends - they're right. I am trash. Blessed trash. That's all I'll ever be."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZNIJu4XBS
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSgWJNFVg9
His shoulders shook.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZtxU3tUhX
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfcxaEpAty
"Even if I stay. Even if I graduate. The Chosen Legion is supposed to accept everyone, but..." He lowered his hands, staring at nothing. "They'll treat me the same way. Because I can’t do anything right. I never have. I never will."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUjuCAZ1m5
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcEm09KAus
The words hung in the air like smoke.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBM1U9ZcUg
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5zvYsMUuj
Cel watched him - shoulders hunched, hands trembling, face buried in his palms. A boy coming apart at the seams because the world had shown him exactly how little he mattered.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8DM3xRj61
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVytmDYDY3y
‘I should say something.’45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1VDGwNTHJ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t1dqewHMo
But what?45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgimYHycda
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR83Vb6RSyG
That things would get better? A lie. Lior's circumstances wouldn't magically improve through empty reassurance.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXhL2iCOcW
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9y08WKnBi
That his ranking didn't define him? Another lie. In this world, power determined worth. 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MNg8YpENW
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sUA5N8A1e
That he should keep trying? Cruel. Lior had been trying. It simply wasn't enough.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tssa9yooo
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd17zf9D1oU
Cel's jaw clenched.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClHibkASRw
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwQb11BuxX
He didn't know how to fix this. Didn't know how to make the pain stop or the tears dry. All the words he could think of felt hollow - platitudes that would shatter against the truth the moment he spoke them.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXmk8YVyNo
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqTWSqZQwJ
So instead, he spoke the truth.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7AbVHbJHj
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVojJaSVw8
"When I was young," Cel said quietly, "I was like you."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5hl7MYJkf
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcZq82rknG
Lior's head snapped up.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dtk6ij9IV
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnnJZ63gDV
"Timid. Useless. Afraid of my own shadow." The words came easier than expected, pulled from memories he usually kept locked away. "My father hated me. Not in some abstract way - he genuinely despised everything about me. My weakness. My gentle nature. The way I flinched when he raised his voice."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiccGXpb754
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QLHdDXS0W
Cel moved to the window, staring out at darkness.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkmrjWQOha
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDL2q3B9Jy
“As for my mother..." He scoffed. "She was there. Physically. But that was all."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2BcJHZT14
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvQV8dzCLs
His fingers pressed against the windowsill.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvPObgAbNt
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm0wO7oUP6
"I had a brother who outshone me in everything. Perfect. Talented. Everything my father wanted. He'd watched when I got punished. Never helped. Never spoke up."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlUwfMD9c4
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXexHBkeZJ
Cel's hands curled into fists.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnjBmdvSjL
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoMpXaJfwN
"I wanted to die…” A pause. “The thought of enduring another moment in that house, with those people, felt impossible. But I kept going anyway. Not because I was brave or strong. Just because..." He stopped. Started again. "I endured it because there was nothing else to do."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnvaVrqmfT
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX46wbofCrx
Lior stared at him, tears still wet on his cheeks but his breathing steadier now.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBDvytOyHD
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkEcNktjCB
Cel turned from the window to face Lior directly.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t9agS20Vh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJakQ5s4Rv
"You think you're weak," hel continued. "That you don't belong here. That everyone sees you as pathetic." His voice dropped lower. "They probably do. The same way my family saw me."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4mxGMgTEh
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKLZfER9xP
He moved closer, crouching so they were eye-level.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uZVvjq5IQ
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwhHYg7Lbi
"But you're here anyway. You are here despite knowing you'd struggle. You practiced reading even though the letters didn't make sense. You stepped into that sparring circle knowing you'd lose."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMuU7QT8hx
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6XIUf6Nf6
Cel's gaze held Lior's.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSjjoLC3sq
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtxdBjStxd
"That's not weakness. That's endurance. And endurance..." His throat tightened. "Endurance is the only strength that actually matters when everything falls apart."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJXNSnxXWY
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7DjSMwiOI
Lior's breath hitched. Fresh tears spilled over, but something in his expression had shifted - less broken, more... present.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2Ms0xWZk9
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cbsSTFTzU
"I can't promise it gets easier," Cel said quietly. "Can't tell you that people will stop looking down on you or that your ranking will improve. Maybe it won't. Maybe you'll struggle every single day for the rest of your time here."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEf0gjF8iw
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqy6fq6Y1D
He straightened.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalBXr5ZF65
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfgm8ynxBv
"But you're still breathing. Still trying despite knowing how hard it is." A pause. "That's more than most people manage when the world rejects them."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCR293IIMM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58xJBZBKJp
Silence stretched between them - heavy with truths neither had expected to share.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw3T1Z4RdF
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCs75AspHw
Then Lior wiped his face with both hands, smearing tears across his cheeks.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquTfNiJlEX
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGpdYsKGAX
"I didn't know," he whispered. "About your past. You seem so... composed. Strong."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgsxBccYxK
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqrMhLWq72
"People rarely are." Cel moved toward the door. "We all carry things that don't show."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPCI94To6V
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJTv1a2Vop
His hand found the handle.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPixI1WVXKi
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0FuEhW6YG
"Cel?"45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXEVHZFoYd
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVhxoJNibq
He glanced back.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0dBizp4Gf
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pwZN4Evpu
Lior's expression held something fragile but genuine. "Thank you."45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomcbJuZv9B
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFwjns6aJE
Cel nodded once.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZdRR8B0Jw
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG7NRiBF28
Then he left, pulling the door closed behind him with a soft click.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jGbTqPJJu
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNIkLDsAIz
The corridor stretched empty and silent. His footsteps echoed against stone as he made his way toward the training grounds.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVWlpoKeCg
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhfzBUjJU7
Night had fallen completely. The moon hung full and bright - pouring its light across the Academy grounds in pale radiance.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3RwWNORAD
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlFWNjYTEj
Lunar Vigor flooded through him the moment he stepped outside. Power hummed beneath his skin, turning exhaustion into energy.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTUeyoMURM
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv7SKtPip3
The training grounds came into view.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMic0zpgbCI
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGp8lQIZ5V
And for the first time in weeks, he wasn't the first to arrive.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg4W6CRqVd
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6iAhO6jFL
Hestia sat in her meditation spot - perfectly still, jet-black hair spilling over pale shoulders, crimson eyes closed in concentration. The night seemed to gather around her like a living thing, shadows pooling at her feet.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyl5VgA1q6
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHtkOyVtFC
