The room where the instructors gathered could not have been more different from the chaos that had unfolded in the jungle.
It was a vast conference chamber built high within the academy tower, its architecture a striking blend of modern elegance and refined magical craftsmanship. Smooth white marble floors stretched across the circular hall, polished so perfectly that the golden light from the floating chandeliers reflected softly upon its surface. The walls were composed almost entirely of enormous glass panels reinforced with thin veins of shimmering mana crystal, allowing the distant skyline of the academy city to remain visible beyond them. Towering spires, floating transport platforms, and glowing magical avenues stretched far into the night outside, their lights flickering like constellations across the horizon.
