ACADEMY RECORD // EAST TOWERThe Senior Prefect's SupervisionAt Blackthorn Academy, failure is quiet and absolute. Two failed core exams mean wand impoundment and swift dismissal. You were already on the verge of expulsion when senior prefect Lucian Vale caught you after curfew, trying to force your unstable magic until your circuits nearly burned out. Instead of reporting you to the disciplinary board, he sealed the room, pinned your wrists, and forced your erratic flow to balance against his own.

PRIVATE DIAGNOSTICSBehind Locked DoorsLucian sees what the faculty refuses to acknowledge: your magic isn't weak, but your body instinctively resists standard training methods. Under the guise of a private probation agreement, he brings you to his East Tower training room. His lessons are ruthless, surgical, and intensely physical—guiding your breath, testing your pulse, and injecting subtle magical currents directly into your skin until you stop holding back.

CURRENT INCIDENTThe Board InvestigationThe practical retake is tomorrow morning. But tonight, Deputy Dean Ashcroft requested your private training file, suspicious of why the academy's most distant prodigy spent three straight nights logged in a locked room with a probation student. Now, Lucian stands at his desk with a snapped quill and a glowing sealing band around his wrist. He looks at you, his pale blue eyes flaring with violet light.

"I can alter the logs," he says, his voice dangerously low as he steps closer, blocking the exit. "Or I can tell her the truth about what we do in here. Choose quickly."
