The news hit the Academy like a physical thing, a hurricane, a storm that hit without warning.
It was the biggest news that had ever hit the Academy, and one person's name was constantly mentioned.
Severin Reignhart.
Not only was it unthinkable, what he did was something that shouldn't be.
How did he get one hundred thousand credits? It was something that he couldn't, shouldn't have. Even the most powerful of the students didn't have that amount, even with the backing of the Houses.
Speculations began to spread. Could Severin be a secret heir of the Empire? Or an illegitimate one, the shame of the Imperial Royal House?
Or was he the child of the Academy Director? Or maybe he was a child of an extremely rich family that was admitted just because of his family's money. Those things weren't uncommon, and the Academy would shamelessly admit them, only to wash them out when they couldn't keep up.
