Prologue 2

"Susie, this world is all a rigged game. The winners and losers are decided before you're even born."

I was remembering the words of my beloved parents.

I stood up. Without my long hair and ladylike uniform, I'd probably be mistaken for a boy. Well, I'm only sixteen, so I guess that's to be expected.

When you open the large, floor-to-ceiling windows, a cool sea breeze rushes into the room.

The sparkling sea and clear sky were reflected in her round, aquamarine eyes, which were said to be those of a young child.

Whipped by a strong wind, her long, pinkish-blonde hair swirled wildly in the breeze.

"We will inherit the rules of the victors passed down through generations. We will uphold them."

I can also hear the voice of my beloved brother, Maxim.

"Susie, you continue as chairperson."

Everyone says you can do it.

But what I want to do is something completely different. Everyone will object. They will hate me for life and will surely banish me.

A final farewell to the people I love.

"I wonder if I can do it... I'm scared..."

I clenched my fists tightly, trying to stop them from trembling. But the swirling, burning vibrations of my soul triumphed over fear.

The small flame that was lit once soon turns into a wildfire that spreads throughout the entire body.

"Just be honest with yourself."

"You were given that ability because you are that kind of person."

I waved both my arms wildly at the window. The stained glass shattered with a tremendous crash, and the wooden frame was blown away.

I gazed at the deep green forest, the flowerbeds in the garden, and the distant horizon of the sea, and took a deep breath.

"I'll do it. Even if I'm alone."

I stepped over the broom beside me, ran, and suddenly landed in mid-air through the window.

He fell headfirst from the dormitory at the top of the mountain, and upon hitting the ground, he placed the broom, which was essential for flying, on the ground.

"I don't need a broom."

Then, with a roar, it took off vertically into the sky. It was the first time it had ever flown this fast.

The scenery changed at an incredible speed, and the wind pressure coursed through my entire body. A school of dolphins appeared on the horizon.

I rode on a dolphin that came close by and sped across the sea.

Let's do something only I can do.

The world will surely be on your side.

A pod of over 100 dolphins surrounded me, spouting water.
