Congratulations to our top three houses.”The final rankings were set.House Six had claimed first place. House Phantom followed closely behind in second, and House Dominion settled for third.The reactions were immediate.House Phantom had come dangerously close to winning, and it showed in the tight grip Bianca Michigan had on her notes. Oliver Wren sat still, his gaze distant, mentally replaying every mistake they had made. Whispers spread between their members, each exchange laced with frustration.House Dominion, on the other hand, looked like they had swallowed glass. David Huntsman sat with his jaw clenched, fingers drumming against the wooden table. Third place wasn’t a loss—but it wasn’t a win either.

House Masters sat amongst their students, offering last-minute advice—or, in some cases, threats.At the center, House Six occupied their usual spot. Unlike the others, who were poring over legal theories and pre-trial strategies, they weren’t even pretending to be concerned.Joy sipped her juice, completely at ease. Mika was demolishing a plate of fries.
