Jake walked through the steel door of the Lockheed student mansion with a light smile.

"Jake! What's up, my man?" Brad, the calm-minded blonde athlete from Kaze's microbiology class, said with a warm smile.

"So let's get cultivation down perfectly. Once you have power, learning techniques becomes effortless."

Excitement spread through the room, and people voiced their enthusiasm.
