From MC's Perspective:
I allowed myself to relax for a brief moment, the weight of uncertainty lifting slightly from my shoulders. But that sense of calm was short-lived as I glanced up at the Federation Head, Ben. He smiled, though there was a seriousness in his eyes that told me he was about to deliver important news.
"The universities in the Tier-4 region have announced that they're going to formally enroll students," he said, his voice steady but carrying the gravity of the situation.
His next words hit me like a bolt of lightning. "The dignitaries from Star University may arrive at any time. So, you need to be prepared and avoid going outside until then."
My heart skipped a beat. This was the news I had been waiting for, but I hadn't expected to hear it so soon. The opportunity to attend a Tier-4 university, especially one like Star University, was a dream I had only dared to hope for. And yet, now that the moment was approaching, uncertainty gnawed at me.
