His father wouldn’t have been forced to commit that horror. His mother wouldn’t have died such a horrible death.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fists briefly, then forced himself to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Forget it. What’s done is done. I can’t change the past. I can only learn from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t need to rely on them. That’s the lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to be strong enough that these situations never come up again.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One decision had already been made in the aftermath of the Kestrel attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pull everyone to Tranquil City. All the families of Mafia students and all the members operating in different Central Region cities and consolidate everything in one location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tranquil City was safer. The Unnamed Four provided S rank protection. Old Man Mike had established infrastructure. And Gia’s information blackout meant enemies couldn’t easily track operations there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed time to grow stronger before expanding again. Rushing had created vulnerabilities that enemies had exploited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Next up... I need to change some fundamental things in this Academy. The system is broken. Time to fix it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain began falling as Damian walked toward his dormitory, but he didn’t increase his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just walked through the downpour, letting it soak his uniform, his mind already planning tomorrow’s moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Academy Forum - Next Morning]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student forum exploded with activity overnight, debates raging between Noble and commoner students about the previous day’s events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[BREAKING: The Golden Era of Commoners Has Begun!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>User_CommonerPride: Did you all see what happened?! Damian purged the Council and became Vice President! This is the beginning of the end for Noble supremacy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>User_NobleHeritage: Calm down. Elizabeth is still President, and she’s an Imperial heir. She defeated Damian in combat. The natural order remains intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>User_CommonerRevolution: She’s only President for one more year! Damian’s a first-year! It won’t be long before he takes over completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>User_RealistNoble: Don’t forget – Damian is only S rank talent. His progress will slow dramatically. No matter how strong he is now, nothing can change his fundamental limitations. The talent gap will become insurmountable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>User_CommonerFighter: Talent gap?! He has a DOMAIN at C rank! He killed GIANTS in a portal! Your \"talent gap\" means nothing when he breaks every rule!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>User_NobleScholar: Domains require A rank minimum. His achievement is anomalous, not sustainable. He’ll hit walls that talent determines. Just wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>User_MafiaSupporter: You Nobles keep saying \"just wait\" while Damian keeps proving you wrong. How many times do you need to be humiliated before you accept reality?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>User_ImperialDescendant: The Council still has Gareth, Liam, and Arielle – all from powerful families. Elizabeth maintained control. This isn’t the revolution you think it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>User_CommonerHope: Damian got Vice President position without even wanting it! He’s changing the system from the inside! This is just the beginning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The debates raged on, thousands of posts being added hourly, the entire student body choosing sides, tensions building toward something inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Student Council Chamber - Morning Session]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Council members sat around the long table, their expressions ranging from concerned to anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth occupied her position as President, her purple hair pulled back, her purple eyes showing the weight of leadership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian sat beside her, his matching purple eyes observing everything with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naomi fidgeted with her glasses, her navy blue hair reflecting morning light through the windows, her timid nature making her uncomfortable with the tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam looked exhausted, his green hair disheveled, his green eyes showing he hadn’t slept well after yesterday’s events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arielle maintained her composed demeanor despite her petite frame, her grey eyes missing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gareth sat with visible discomfort, his bear-like body covered in bandages and healing patches from yesterday’s brutal beating, his black eyes showing he’d accepted his defeat but not the humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena Dray sat with her characteristic elegant posture, her platinum hair perfect as always, her expression neutral but her mind clearly working through implications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were discussing the removed Council members – Rex Dalmir, Jonas Harrington, and the absent Victor Cross and Selena Hart who were still on battlefield missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t just remove them all without consequences,\" Liam was saying, his voice carrying frustration. \"Their families will escalate this. The political pressure will be enormous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The precedent alone is dangerous,\" Arielle added. \"If the Council can purge members based on personal conflicts rather than procedural violations, what’s to stop future abuses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth remained silent, her face showing she’d already made her decision and wouldn’t be budged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian entered with his hands in his pockets, and immediately everyone felt the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday he’d been intense and violent, focused during combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today... he was something else entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expressionless, cold and radiating pressure that saiddon’t test mewithout words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His crimson eyes swept the room with casual assessment, and every person sitting felt like prey being evaluated by a predator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat directly beside Elizabeth without asking permission, his posture relaxed but his presence overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before we begin official Council business, I’m making one point absolutely clear for everyone gathered here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was quiet but carried perfect clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at each person individually – Adrian, Naomi, Liam, Arielle, Gareth, Elena – his gaze making each of them straighten involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Gareth, who’d readily accepted his loss and acknowledged Damian as stronger, felt the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning that Damian possessed a Domain – something A rank awakeners struggled to develop – had completed his acceptance of the hierarchy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I operate differently than Elizabeth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian’s tone was matter-of-fact, stating simple truth rather than making threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care about your backgrounds. I don’t care about your families. All of you here are students who are weaker than me. Therefore, you will follow the hierarchy and do what I say without questioning.
