"Fuu..."
I adjusted my tie, tugging it just a bit tighter, before exhaling deeply.
Here I was, standing before the grand gates of Silverleaf Academy.
My academy.
The massive gates gleamed in the morning light, their silver sheen perfectly complementing the tall trees that surrounded the entire campus.
The buildings themselves were sleek and elegant, reflecting a quiet majesty, standing tall between canopies of lush greenery.
Everything about this place felt so... familiar.
So home.
Of course, I was wearing the Silverleaf uniform.
Not the standard one, though. I had the leader's uniform—the one I earned after the competition a few months ago.
It was the only uniform that I had.
Honestly, I just didn't ask for another uniform because I wanted this to be some kind of surprise.
And now...
It was the perfect time to do it.
