The Unique Heir ( 155 )

Javier closed the thick rule book with a grin, leaning back in his chair. "Hmmm... according to this, titles and ranks have no use here." His eyes gleamed with mischief as he smirked. "Interesting... very interesting."

The staff, noticing his grin, added with a calm tone, "Yes, that is correct. In this academy, we abide strictly by the rules set forth. Titles and ranks hold no weight here, ensuring no one can take advantage of their social status."

Javier's grin widened, his fingers drumming lightly on the arm of his chair. "Ohoho... so this place really is a meritocracy, huh? That's good to hear! Ehehehe..."

The staff raised an eyebrow at his amusement, but their professionalism remained intact. "Indeed. However, we do expect all students to treat one another with respect, regardless of their backgrounds."

Javier waved his hand lazily, still grinning. "Yes, yes, I'll be on my best behavior. You have my word... for now."
