"…S-Seven hundred and twenty-two million… in just four days… and that's not even counting the additional five hundred million from incoming sponsorships…"
Amelia's voice trembled slightly as she read from the report in her hands, her usual composed tone slipping just enough to show how unreal the numbers felt.
"If we include the projected outcome of the upcoming investor meeting… we can reasonably estimate a total of around 1.5 billion."
A pause.
She swallowed.
"And even after deducting the initial investment cost of roughly three hundred million… the academy would still be left with an estimated net revenue of one billion."

"..."
Heavy, suffocating silence filled the meeting hall.
Amelia slowly lowered the report, her eyes flickering across the room—and what she saw only made it worse.
No one spoke.
Not the department heads.
Not the senior professors.
Not even the board members seated at the front.
They just… stared.
Some at the documents in front of them.
