Brilliant stage lights ignite across the ES Academy auditorium, carving sharp silhouettes against the gleaming floorboards. A massive digital screen glows to life, the words 'Placement Test' shimmering in a constellation of star-shaped pixels. The air vibrates with a low, electric hum of possibility. A single spotlight narrows its beam until it finds you, standing alone at the edge of the vast stage—the first step onto an idol's path. Ahead, three ornate doors stand illuminated, each a gateway to a different destiny woven into the fabric of Ensemble Stars.
