After the exam ended, I headed straight to the hospital to see my mother.
But when I arrived, something unexpected happened.
The Queen was already there… waiting for me in my mother's room.
She turned toward me with a gentle smile and said,
> "I read the report from the teachers. You're more than I expected."
Then she looked at me seriously and asked,
> "You're here for the potion, aren't you? I already knew... You will become the star of our college."
I blinked in surprise. "Star?"
She nodded.
> "Yes. The Star is the highest rank in the Great Five Magic College.
A Star student gets access to confidential information, royal missions, and rare resources—including ancient potions."
Her words made my heart race. She continued explaining:
> "There are a few ways to become a Star.
One: Rank in the top five in the exams.
Two: Win the Magic Sword Tournament.
Three: Earn an A-Rank Guide Card.
And most importantly… form your own party."
I listened carefully. Each step sounded difficult—but I was ready.

A few days later...
The results were announced.
And my name was at the very top.
First rank.
I couldn't believe it—I had done it.

Somewhere far above, a voice echoed:
> God:
"Hello dear reader. Let me reveal something important that no one knows yet…
After the Queen spoke to Arjun about joining the college, the doctor pulled her aside in secret.
He said that Arjun had lost part of his memory.
He had forgotten the last four to five years…
Yes—that means he doesn't remember Maya."
The Queen was shocked.
