The night slipped away, and the golden light of morning bathed the academy in its warmth. It was 7:00 AM, the usual time when the gym buzzed with activity. For most students, this was a sacred hour dedicated to building their physical strength, a crucial part of being an awakened individual. Even the girls, who were just as strong and determined as the boys, never skipped this routine. 

But today was different. 

The gym was unusually quiet, or rather, a specific area of it was. Crowds of students moved cautiously around the room, making sure to avoid one particular corner. 

Why? 

Because in that corner, Kaelith—the daughter of Lilith and the infamous Silver Dragon—was working out. 

Kaelith was not someone who typically worked out. In fact, she had never needed to. Her dragon blood gifted her a physique far superior to everyone else's. Her body was built for power, speed, and resilience, and she had always relied on her natural abilities. Yet, for the past few days, she had been a regular at the gym, shocking everyone who laid eyes on her. 

"Do you know why she's been coming here every morning?" whispered one girl to her friend, her voice low with curiosity. 

The other girl stole a quick glance at Kaelith, careful not to make it obvious. "How should I know? Maybe it's because she lost the competition recently? But whatever the reason, we'd better not get too close. Nobody wants to accidentally get on her bad side." 

Kaelith, who was doing push-ups with massive weight plates stacked on her back, heard every word. Her dragon senses were sharp, far beyond human levels. She could hear them clearly.

Her face remained blank, her breathing steady, even though the plates on her back weighed hundreds of tons. To her, it felt no different than lifting paper. But her calm exterior was a mask. Inside her mind, a single question echoed over and over. 

"Why?"

Kaelith couldn't stop thinking about it. The question circled in her mind like an unrelenting storm. For days now, the thought had consumed her, taking over every waking moment. 

She remembered the fight vividly. It wasn't just any ordinary battle—it was the one where she faced Esdeath, Maruti, and Ethan. For the first time in her life, she fought people who challenged her. It wasn't easy. The three of them were skilled, clever, and determined. 

But it wasn't enough to defeat her. 

Kaelith knew she could've taken them all on her own if she wanted. Her power, her heritage as the daughter of Lilith, ensured that much. Yet something about that battle lingered in her mind. 

"Why were they so desperate? Why are they fight like their very lives depended on it? What is there to gain from a simple competition?" 

These type of thought came to her mind at that time.

She closed her eyes, replaying the moment when their gazes burned with unshakable resolve. 

"Are they in the same situation as me?"

Her thoughts turned inward. Kaelith was Lilith's daughter—the daughter of the great dragon queen. From the moment she was born, her path had been laid out for her. People didn't see her as Kaelith; they saw her as Lilith's daughter. 

No matter what she accomplished, the reaction was always the same: 
"As expected of Lilith's daughter!"

No matter what she wanted to do for herself, the response was predictable: 
"This doesn't suit you. You're Lilith's daughter. You'll surpass your mother one day. You should follow the path she walked."
