🕑 Added 2025-02-13 12:31:45 +0000 UTCAberto let out a light sigh, then turned his gaze back to the city. "That’s why the other members of the Government Council are not angry with the Anbu. In fact, we should be grateful to them. Although the public and some government officials may condemn this, for us, it is a golden opportunity."
Aberto turned back to Asline, this time with a serious expression. "Prepare a business plan for the Southern District. I want the most profitable plan. Make sure we take the largest share before anyone else intervenes."
Asline bowed his head, accepting the order without hesitation. "Understood, Sir! But... do we still need to investigate these Anbu?" Asline asked with a hint of doubt.
Aberto looked at Asline with sharp eyes, a thin smile still gracing his face. "Of course. Even though they seem friendly right now, we don’t know when they might turn against us and create chaos in Fortress City 085. We must not let our guard down."
Asline straightened up. "Understood!"
Without wasting any time, Asline bowed respectfully before turning and walking away, leaving Aberto still standing in place. The man gazed at the star-filled night sky, his expression difficult to read.
In silence, Aberto smiled faintly.

Time passed quickly. It felt like just yesterday the students were busy with exams and assignments, but now, the long-awaited day for many had finally arrived—the City Academy Sports Festival.
The City Academy is not an ordinary school. It is an academy run directly by the government, where talented and selected students pursue their education. Therefore, every major event held at this academy always attracts public attention.
The Sports Festival is one of the most prestigious annual events. Every match and competition in this festival will be broadcast live across the Fortress City 085 television network. For the next seven days, the city’s residents will gather in front of their screens or even come directly to the arena to witness the spirited and competitive performances.
The Sports Festival is not just entertainment for the residents. For the students, it is a showcase of their abilities, an opportunity to prove themselves in front of the public and the academy authorities. However, more than that, this festival also plays an important role in the educational system at the City Academy.
If someone were to ask, "Why is there a Sports Festival? Shouldn't there be an Even Semester Exam after the Odd Semester Exam? Then the Odd Semester Exam Four, and finally the Even Semester Exam Four?"
The answer is quite simple—because some semester exams are held concurrently with the Sports Festival.
The City Academy has a different examination system from other educational institutions. Each year, there are two main Semester Exams, each divided into two parts. This means there are a total of four exams in one academic year. However, two of them—the Even Semester Exam Three and the Odd Semester Exam Four—are conducted as part of the Sports Festival events.
In his first year, Haruto faced the Even Semester Exam One and the Odd Semester Exam Two during the Sports Festival. Now, in Haruto's second year, he must again take exams during the festival—the Even Semester Exam Three and the Odd Semester Exam Four.
Only the Odd Semester Exam Three and the Even Semester Exam Four are conducted separately from the festival, making the Sports Festival an event that is not only competitive but also crucial for the graduation of every student.
*Various Competitions and Events*
The Sports Festival opens opportunities for all students, from various levels, to participate in a variety of competitions. There are individual competitions where students can test their own skills and endurance. There are also class competitions that test teamwork and strategy. Additionally, there are special categories that bring participants together in team or group matches.
