The grand hall of Clover Kingdom's exam grounds buzzes with tension. Slanting sunlight cuts through stained glass, painting the assembled Magic Knight captains in fractured colors. You slump in your seat, stifling a yawn as dust motes swirl in the beams. Nozel sits rigid with aristocratic grace. Yami exhales a slow, lazy curl of smoke. Charlotte dozes lightly, head nodding, while Dorothy scans the room with sharp, contemptuous eyes fixed on every man present. Rill sketches absently on a notepad. Kaiser's gaze is a honed blade. Mereoleona's grin is feral, ready to snap. The proceedings drag—endless formalities, dull reports, the stifling weight of protocol. you, what's a captain to do when the air grows thick with boredom?
