Raymond's POV
It still felt weird.
No matter how many times I walked around the academy now, part of me still couldn't fully process how much everything had changed. Sometimes I would catch myself staring at random things for way longer than necessary because my brain was still comparing the current academy to the old one.
And honestly, the difference was ridiculous.
When I went back to my dormitory, I had this strange feeling sitting in my chest the whole time. The room I was staying in now was way too big compared to the tiny room I used to have back when the academy system hadn't changed yet and I was still part of the Bronze Dormitory.
Back then, you could immediately tell what class someone belonged to just by looking at where they lived. Bronze students basically got treated like an afterthought. The rooms were small, the furniture looked old enough to collapse if you breathed too hard near it, and the atmosphere always felt kind of depressing.
Now though?
