Chaos at the Campus

Adam reached the clearing that had housed Gork's goblin village ten years ago.

Gone were the uneven metallic plates and the steam rising from the chimney. Instead, he whistled at the magic barrier pulsing a bright blue around intricately carved walls. Behind, the academy campus that replaced the town forced a nod of admiration out of him with its towers, dorms, and castle-like central building. 

As he approached the guards, he heard students discussing complex topics, melding magic and science. Others, their voices younger, chuckled, the sound of their little steps on soft soil enlivening the gate.

A demon wearing a white military uniform adorned with a shining golden badge rather than armor, smiled at him.

"Hello, sir. Would you mind showing me your student or teacher card?"

Adam tilted his head and raised a brow.

"I don't have them."

The guard sized him up before he nodded. "I see. Did you come to enrol or visit someone?"
