"EVERYONE!!"
The single word boomed across the auditorium hall, amplified by mana, crushing every lingering murmur instantly.
Conversations died mid-sentence, shuffling of students stopped, and their restless movements froze as the attention of all students snapped toward the source of the voice.
A tall elven man with long green hair stood at the center of the stage; his presence alone was enough to dominate the vast hall.
His posture was casual, yet there was an undeniable aura to him, the kind that came only from experience of wielding authority and power layered over centuries.
"My name is Kevin," he said plainly, his voice steady. "I am the head professor of the World Academy.
I abandoned my last name when I entered the academy hundreds of years ago; I hope you all will too."
The statement was delivered without pride or sentiment, as though discarding a name was a trivial matter.
