The great hall of Aeloria Academy glowed like a cathedral of light.
High arches curved overhead, etched with golden runes that pulsed softly in rhythm with the students.
Lior was sitting at corner with other students the Nobel and common are sitting at one place. without making any problems they started talking. "hey you know the prince and princess will be studying".
" i didn't see them are they late. "
" maybe we commoners can be friends with them."
"I hope. also don't make trouble with guy from valemire nobel family what was his name. i forget."
"Are you speaking about Darius valemire."
" he is a cruel bastard who bully the weak like us"
" not only him his brother also. he's too dangerous then Darius he is a senior in academy we should be careful about these guy." while they talking two students enters to the hall a girl and a boy. Boy was wearing Same navy-blue long like other boy students. meanwhile the girl was navy-blue coat, cut slightly shorter at the back for mobility, with silver embroidery along the waist.
a knee-length navy skirt with silver edge embroidery. With
High-ankle black boots these are prince and princess every one looked at them.
" here are they."
"Prince cael and serin."
"Ooo god the princess is beautiful."
"I glad that we got chance to study with them."

Next to him Princess serin her Long gold hair usuallytied with a dark ribbon, leaving a few loose strands that frame her face.
And Crystal violet with hints of pink at the edges of eyes they sat down on front row.*so they are the royal heir's.* lior thought while gazing at them
Hall was full of whispers and loud voice's.
Then —silence
A single set of footsteps echoed across the marble floor. No staff. No guards.
Only one man walking with quiet authority. The Principal stepped onto the stage — tall, white-haired, robed in deep indigo stitched with faint sigils that pulsed with steady rhythm. He didn't need to command silence. It simply happened the moment he looked at the crowd.
When he spoke, his voice filled the hall deep, composed, and resonant.
A faint hum rippled through the air, like the heartbeat of the building itself.
"I am Auren Velhart your Headmaster."
Everyone silented looking at the stage.
"Welcome, new bearers of harmony and chaos. You have crossed the threshold into a realm where emotion and power are one."
"This academy does not teach you spells or tricks. It teaches you to listen — to yourself, to others, and to the world's rhythm."
"Because in the end… only those who understand their own resonance can master the song of life itself. Before i stopping my words i like to add one thing. For some of you thinking, power runs in your blood.
For others, it comes from struggle.
But in this place, lineage means nothing. Only your heart defines your strength. I hope you understand
as the hall pulsed softly when students responded to his words.
After the ceremony students are gathered at the large combat arena —a colosseum." Dear Juniors hope you ready now get in a formation." one of the senior shouted besides him other seniors was there. some Seniors are given instruction to the newcomers. some of them are watching from the gallery of arena. Lior stood among the newcomers. The weight of the crowd, the murmurs of excitement, the faint flicker of resonances activating one after another—it all made his heart race. *So, this is the moment where a mc in fiction show off his power in his academy i can't wait.* he thought while a happiness in his face. The others students try to use and awaken their resonance some of the students made it. Some failed while reaching near of it.
Some of them accidentally triggered their resonance too early, drawing laughter from a few and curiosity from others.
"Remember," another senior called, "resonance isn't just about power—it's about balance and control. Don't overextend or you'll lose your rhythm." while they continuing this.
a women appeared at the colosseum. it become silent and every senior student straightened instinctively. From the far end of the coliseum her footsteps echoes—measured,confident
at colosseum her stride purposeful. She wore a white and silver uniform, her hair a cascade of obsidian streaked with faint silver strands that shimmered in the sunlight. Her eyes, sharp and cool like polished sapphire, swept across the gathered students with quiet authority.
"Students" she began, her voice clear. "welcome to the Resonance Arena. i am Professor Selene Arclight, head of the Combat division. You're combat training start tomorrow but i called all of you here to check your resonance. let's see what kind of rhythm you're heart Carry." she gave a slight nod. "Seniors form them to a pair and assist them and activate the resonance field." after hearing this junior students start to form in pair The hum of magic deepened as glowing patterns beneath the arena. shifted and rearranged themselves into intricate circles. A pulse rippled through the ground — the Resonance Field was alive now, feeding on the emotions of everyone inside. Selene raised a hand, and a faint blue aura shimmered around her fingers.
"Pair formation. You will face each other one on one. This is not a battle — it is a reflection of your control."
Later students on the pair started to enter the Field and started showing of their resonance. selene watched them with curiosity and excitement "Next pair, step forward." a senior called.
Lior stepped into the ring.
Opposite him stood a kid from thalorian
Nobel wearing the same uniform as lior
The crowd started talking.
" these two are from noble house."
"Eryndor vs thalorian i think this will be interesting."
" these two Nobel are in good relationship right hope nothing bad happens.... "
"Your lior right my name is kael i hope you got some skills to show right. don't worry if not i will go easy on you." kael thalorian said to lior. But he not respond ed he was calm "ok get ready start."
The moment the word left from one female Senior lips, Kael's aura erupted.
Golden threads of light spiraled around him — fierce, majestic, domineering. The Resonance of Pride burned bright, filling the air with a weight that pressed on the lungs. His voice boomed with confidence, carried by that golden echo.
"Kneel before this strength!." Kael said with a laugh. The sigils under his feet flared; the energy coalesced into phantom arms of golden force, reaching toward Lior like grasping hands of arrogance itself. The pressure was immense. Dust lifted, and the air warped from sheer emotional weight.
But Lior did not move. He closed his eyes, steadying his breath. Inside, his Echoheart pulsed — not loud, not aggressive, but deep and rhythmic. Calm. The blue aura rose softly from his chest, forming ripples that spread outward — Tranquility. Kael's golden force met that ripple… and faltered. The motion slowed, distorted, as if the air itself turned viscous. "What ?"Kael's eyes widened. His pride-fueled energy lost rhythm, its edges dissolving.
Lior stepped forward and said
"You're strong, but your Resonance listens only to your ego."
"Fight over next pair get ready " the female senior shouted with confusion while looking lior. Kael clenched his fists, humiliation flashing across his face. But when his eyes met Lior's, the boy only bowed slightly — humble, unshaken.lior step out from ring and started to walk to a corner while the crowd whispered.
"He silenced Pride itself using tranquility what."
" i thought tranquility is for healing and calming."
"What is this pride resonance is stronger than tranquility but what just happened."
From the corner he started watching the next match he thought while watching.* yes i did it. the one of the moment in fiction i wanted to do where mc meet a arrogant pridefull side character. and mc teach him a lesson i did it the way i imagined lior was i yess..* Lior was Happy inside even he felt he want to laugh but he hide his feeling inside. and looked for kael at crowd. * where did that pridefull guy gone he is not bad he will be a stronger one. in future kael from thalorian hope he come for a rematch...*
Some time later the sparring came to an end while everyone leaving Selena added one last word. "i hope you guys understand your current strength and drawbacks over your resonance.
Remember control over your Resonance is worth more than raw strength. From tomorrow you will learn to control over your resonance. " i Hope you all will be better than you were today… or next time, the arena will teach you itself."
For a moment, no one spoke. Then, murmurs rippled through the students. Some nodded silently, humbled. Others clenched their fists, pride wounded but burning with new resolve. A few exchanged glances — awe, fear, admiration — all stirred together.
Selene turned away lior exhaled slowly while looking at her departing figure he thought. * hope i got many things to learn.*
