Ch.16 Classroom of the Elite

In the heart of the prestigious Academy of Excellence, there lies a room unlike any other. The The realm of Infinite Learning , as it is known, is a place of mystery and power, reserved only for the most exceptional students.

The classroom itself is grand and imposing, with towering walls lined with ancient tomes and intricate tapestries depicting great battles of old. The desks are sleek and modern, each equipped with state-of-the-art technology designed to enhance the learning experience. Known as the The Realm of Infinite Learning it is a vast and enchanting space, with walls adorned with ancient runes and symbols that pulse with magical energy. The ceiling stretches high above, twinkling with starlight that seems to dance and shimmer.

In the center of the room lies a circular platform, where students can gather for lessons and demonstrations. Surrounding the platform are rows of desks and chairs, each one carved with intricate patterns and designs that seem to glow with a faint light.

At the front of the classroom is a towering bookshelf filled with tomes of knowledge, from ancient spellbooks to textbooks on physical training and combat techniques. A fireplace crackles in one corner, casting a warm and comforting glow throughout the room.

In one corner, a practice arena stands ready for students to hone their physical abilities, with targets and obstacles that can be manipulated with magic. The air is alive with the hum of energy and the scent of herbs and incense. Orion gestures for them all to enter through the double door.

As the students file in, their eyes are drawn to the center of the room where a large circular platform sits, shimmering with an otherworldly light.

One by one, the students stand before their peers and introduce themselves with confidence and pride. Each one eager to prove their worth and stake their claim as a true academic champion. Their professor chimes in finally before them.

"Now if you may all take a seat in one of the seats up front. As there are a few things I will explain to you all before introductions."
