As Ren pushed the iron door open, a deep clang echoed through the hallway.
The heavy door slid aside, revealing a spacious and sophisticated classroom beyond.
The first thing Lyrium noticed was the sheer size of it—it was far grander than any ordinary classroom.
The high ceiling was adorned with floating mana-infused crystals, casting a soft glow throughout the space.
The walls were lined with arcane engravings, pulsating faintly, likely a form of defensive enchantments.
Rows of elevated seating formed a semi-circle, much like an auditorium, each desk equipped with holographic interfaces and built-in spell matrices.
The entire setup screamed elite-level education, fitting for the top students of Deviants Academy.
A low murmur filled the air—several students were already inside.
Some engaged in quiet conversation, while others were focused on their holographic syllabus.
