Dude.. what do any of these characters even look like? Great start but we readers need more details.
This chapter took us deeper into the academy setting, and I must say, the world-building is impressive. The description of the Federal Institute is vivid, and the rule of "Either you stand on the top, or you die trying to climb" sets the tone nicely. The encounter with Mohammad was quite intriguing. His character adds a layer of mystery and power dynamics to the story. Zen's confident response to the bullies is satisfying to read. The introduction of Tanya and James as fellow first-year students adds more depth to the character interactions. It's interesting to see how Zen and Anna are perceived by their peers. The ending leaves us with anticipation for what lies ahead in the academy. Overall, great work in continuing to build the story and its world. One suggestion, though, consider adding a bit more emotional depth to Zen and Anna's reactions to their new surroundings and experiences. It can help readers connect with them on a deeper level. Looking forward to the next part of the orientation! Keep up the excellent storytelling!
