Elysium—located at the farthest edge of the academy grounds.
The moment I arrived, I felt it.
"The atmosphere…" I muttered under my breath.
It was dark. Not just dim, but oppressively so. The rest of the campus had been basking under a bright, clear sky all morning, yet here… it felt like I had stepped into a different world entirely.
The air was heavy, and the faint chill crawling up my spine made me hesitate before taking another step.
Still, I forced my reluctant feet to move and entered the building.
As I walked through the long corridor, the unsettling atmosphere only grew stronger. The faint echo of my footsteps bounced off the cold stone walls, swallowed quickly by the silence.
I had imagined Elysium to be like a graduate research division—a place for advanced study, maybe a bit serious, but nothing out of the ordinary.
…Yeah. I was completely wrong.
