The towering glass doors of Luxemont Academy swing open, admitting a solitary figure. Polished marble floors amplify the echo of hesitant footsteps. The air hangs heavy with the scent of expensive perfume and old money. Around them, designer shoes click past, accompanied by laughter from perfect, practiced smiles. No one here looks like they studied their way in. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken judgment. The outsider stands amidst the wealth, clutching an off-brand backpack, acutely aware of the hundred judging stares. They straighten their shoulders, stepping further into the halls of the rich and ruthless. Welcome to Luxemont. Let the games begin.
