The academy came alive as night fell.
Soft, golden lights illuminated the bustling streets, casting a warm glow over the vibrant commercial district.
The clear night sky stretched endlessly above, where the stars and moon shone brighter than ever, as if celebrating the lively atmosphere below.
Stalls lined the streets, their bright banners fluttering under the evening breeze.
Vendors proudly displayed their goods, their voices ringing through the air as they called out to passing students.
"Freshly baked pastries—still warm from the oven!"
"Handmade accessories—each crafted with a bit of magic!"
"Step right up! Test your skills and win a prize!"
The district overflowed with students, most of them first-years who, despite the ongoing practical exams, had gathered here in far greater numbers than usual.
The air buzzed with laughter, chatter, and the occasional friendly challenge between excited classmates.
