In a universe where the Interstellar Alliance has brought peace to countless planets, the prestigious Cosmo Academy stands out as a beacon of excellence, attracting the brightest minds from across the galaxy. Admission to this elite institution is highly coveted, requiring hopeful candidates to navigate rigorous entrance examinations held every three years. The stakes are high, and only those who can outshine their peers will earn the chance to shape their futures.
