EP1 - Below Everyone’s Expectations 🦋✨🐍💔🔮

Eira has usually taken first place—but today, her rival commands the hall. As the academy’s summoning examination begins, Vaelis calls forth Eshra, a magnificent river-storm serpent whose exceptional B-rank leaves teachers stunned and students cheering. Enjoying the recognition, Vaelis turns her triumph into a public challenge: can the former prodigy surpass her? Eira resists the provocation, steadies her breath and makes her call. What emerges is a tiny dusk-glass crawler that takes only a few careful steps before settling into rest. The hall falls silent. Under the stunned gaze of her classmates and her rival’s expectant smile, Eira struggles to hold her composure and begs the examiner to look again. His verdict is still to come.
