I mean those young ladies they're at the highest point of their group. 200 of the kinkiest, most wonderful ladies in the WORLD and getting compensated like it," she motioned like she generally did when she got delirious. Around them the lights of the Dublin dance club streaked, whirling hologrammatic style projected into the roof - cosmic systems and confoundingly gigantic nebulae, as though the whole ballroom was being pushed at twist speed through a heavenly vortex.

**(Elara's POV)** On our way home, Lucian mysteriously led me toward Moonlight Lodge instead of our usual route. "Elara, I've signed you up for specialized training. One-on-one private lessons," he announced excitedly. My social anxiety surfaced. "Why can't you train me yourself?" Lucian squeezed my hand. "Trust me. You know the trainer." We stopped at Luna Grace Dance Studio. Not a combat facility at all. The door opened to reveal Luna Grace, impossibly youthful for her forties, still carrying a prima ballerina's ethereal quality. "Elara... long time no see," she said softly.

Why am I thinking about that now? We’ve got a joint sparring session with Level B today. In preparation for a progress showcase. It’s part drill, part exam: we demonstrate how far we’ve come since enrollment. The students who improve get pulled for outside expeditions and opportunities; the ones who don’t get worked until they break. Fail to progress during that training and you’re demoted or expelled. It’s the cruellest gatekeeper the Academy has, and everyone’s on edge. People scheme. Some will happily step on another to climb higher. So yeah, I need to watch my back. I need to do well. This matters for my certificate.

“Her walking through restrictions? Get very used to it.” Inside the chamber was a dome of glass and crystal. No furniture. No shelves. There was just a circular platform in the center, suspended slightly above the ground, with luminous streams flowing toward it from all directions like rivers of light.

Seraphine’s mouth fell open. “It’s… beautiful," Rian almost cried. “This is the greatest day of my life.”

They also immediately got ready and decorated. At 6:55 a.m. our pick-up car was ready, we had three dance groups performing three different types of Lampung dance. There is the Sembah dance, the Bedana dance and the Melinting dance. The championship was held in GOR and the participants were quite a lot from all junior high schools in one Metro city.

The Starlight members consist of professional members who have been rigorously trained. It was seen that the only girl who became a member of Starlight was only Lux Charlisa. Although, she is a girl. However, people respected her and greatly admired her. She is a strong and intelligent girl, unlike other girls. Lux had always managed to complete her missions successfully, without failure. Therefore, it was no wonder she served as the vice-leader of her team, Blue Starlight. After a few hours later... At 18:30 Lux, Azura, Noah, and Zack were gathered together in a place that was quiet and dark. The Blue Starlight team had already got a different mission from the other teams. They were already

Everyone turned their heads as someone started an announcement. "Greetings, everyone. Welcome to our Annual Moonlight Gala. For those first-time attendees, I am very pleased to welcome you. I am Lexington Brown, the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack. To start our fancy event, I would like to lead everyone to the center of the dance floor to start our Moon Dance."

I didn't want to embarrass him, so I quickly asked him, "Have you ever heard about the tribute dance to our goddess? The Moon Dance?"

The second practice hadn't been anything special, just dancing under supervision, letting Amara list each step and its mechanics. Declan didn't know dance jargon. He just did the steps as Amara taught him and forgot the names she'd tried to drill into his head, paid attention to her movements and loved being a part of them.
