Sunlight floods the academy’s main hall, illuminating stiff uniforms and flickering magic. The crowd is a mix of confident nobles and awestruck commoners. At the front, twenty teachers stand with varying pressures. A humming crystal drifts overhead. An instructor approaches, her tone neutral. 'Name,' she demands. A noble smirks nearby; a commoner steadies their breath. She records your details, steps aside. The crystal glows faintly. No whispers. No stares. Anticipation builds as orientation begins.
