Inside the Sixth Citadel, in the office of the Sub-Commander, a guard rushed in.
Guard:
“An official order has arrived—sealed from the Tenth Citadel.”
The Sub-Commander took the paper, eyes narrowing as he read.
Sub-Commander (murmuring):
“They want him in the academy? No explanation?”
Escort:
“They’ve requested absolute secrecy.
Don’t notify the other citadels. Just send him. Immediately.”
Sub-Commander:
“Observe him from afar. Do not interfere.”

Pages 6–10: An Unexpected Return
The academy gates creaked open slowly.
A fortified carriage rolled in, stopping in front of a large crowd of trainees.
Levan stepped out, catching dozens of stares.
Whispers filled the air:
“Isn’t that the boy who…?”
“They say he doesn’t have a Will!”
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
He was escorted to a separate wing—
A simple room with only a bed, a desk, and a small monitoring device.
Supervisor:
“You’re part of the system now.
But no one knows how to deal with you yet.”
---
Pages 11–15: Re-Examination
Inside the examination hall, Levan was instructed to place his hand on the Will-Detection Device.
He did.
Once again… the device didn’t respond.
Doctor:
“Still nothing… and yet he’s alive.”
Supervisor:
“Register him as a ‘Grey Trainee.’”
A grey ID card was issued in his name.
---
Note: The Grey Card
The Grey Card is not a special classification,
But a temporary ID given to all new trainees upon joining the academy.
It grants basic access and allows full participation in activities
Until the trainee’s Will is properly identified.
Until then, the holder is treated as a standard recruit.

Pages 16–20: The Long-Awaited Reunion
Levan pocketed the card and began to exit.
From behind, a familiar voice cried out:
Romo:
“Levan?!”
Levan turned.
Romo ran toward him—
Crashing into him, hugging him tightly.
Romo (choking up):
“I thought… I thought the Sixth had… You’re alive!”
Levan remained silent.
Then gently placed a hand on Romo’s shoulder.
Levan:
“I’m here.
That’s enough for now.”

Pages 21–25: Supervisors’ Meeting
A meeting took place between supervisors from the first three citadels.
Second Citadel Supervisor:
“Bringing him back here… may have been a mistake.”
First Citadel Supervisor:
“Or it’s a test for all of us.”
Third Citadel Supervisor:
“Observe him carefully. Let him integrate naturally.”

Pages 26–30: Team Formation Announcement
An announcement echoed across the academy:
> “All trainees must form teams of three.
Those who fail to form a team within one week…
will be transferred out.”
Romo extended his hand toward Levan.
Romo:
“If no one else wants you…
I want you on my team.”
A third voice chimed in—quiet, clear:
“And I’ll be the third.”
Ina, a cold-eyed girl who had been silently watching since his arrival, stepped forward.
Ina:
“This team will be the strangest one here.
Which is exactly why it’ll be the strongest.”
---
Pages 31–35: Inside the System
In the guidance chamber:
Supervisor:
“All teams will now be under regular observation.
But Team 117…
They will be under special watch.”
> “Any behavioral shifts—report them immediately.”
---
Pages 36–40: A Quiet Ending
Levan sat in the academy’s courtyard, watching trainees train and spar.
Ina sat beside him.
Ina:
“No one understands you yet.
And you don’t seem to care if they do.”
Levan:
“I don’t understand myself either.
But I know one thing…
I won’t die easily.”
