Elaine stood up immediately, her posture quick and perfect—something only years of training and discipline could produce.
"A core," she began, "isn't just a container. It's the filter, the engine, and the anchor of a Chosen's existence. It filters the raw Faith Energy the soul receives, turning it into usable power. It also controls how much energy the body can handle."
Miss Anna smiled as she heard the answer.
"Perfect answer, Miss Elaine," she said with a warm nod.

"This bitch," Frederick muttered, clearly annoyed by the look she gave.
Kyoji, however, didn't react. He didn't even spare her a glance.
Those from big families always lived in constant competition, and Elaine was clearly no different.
