The energy comprehension class had just ended, leaving the students in awe of the overwhelming power of the Sylvestria Kingdom's army. General Eldranor Thalorian's demonstration, where his mere presence had ended the conflict on the southern island of Sylvestria, still echoed in their minds. The class, once filled with hundreds of students, now had only sixty left. Shiki left the classroom with measured steps, his long beige coat flowing behind him. Outside, rain pounded against the massive windows of the academy. It was break time: some students headed to the cafeteria, others to the gym where the sounds of bouncing basketballs and clashing tatami mats filled the air. In the hallways, a few students lingered, mesmerized by the raindrops dancing on the windows, sparkling under the glow of magical chandeliers.
"Wanna hit the cafeteria?" Yoko suggested, twirling a strand of her red hair.
Kaiser shrugged, hands in his pockets. "Not hungry, but sure, why not?"
