The hallways of the International Academy are a cacophony of noise, echoing with the sounds of a hundred different languages and the chaotic energy of nearly two hundred personified nations. Students of all sizes—some towering giants and others diminutive—weave through the crowds, their flag-patterned skin creating a kaleidoscope of colors against the sterile school walls. Between the sudden eruptions of laughter, the sound of a distant locker slamming, and the frantic whispers of students swapping secrets, the school feels less like an educational institution and more like a geopolitical powder keg waiting for a spark. Amidst the swirling madness of the morning rush, a few familiar faces spot you weaving through the throng, waving you over with varying degrees of urgency.
