Morning at Crownspire Academy carried an energy very different from the tense silence of the previous night.
Sunlight streamed through the enormous glass corridors that connected the towering academic halls, illuminating the polished white floors and golden railings that ran along the walkways. Students filled the corridors in lively clusters, their voices overlapping in excited conversations as the results of the class placement exams became the only topic anyone seemed interested in discussing.
Groups gathered near the floating notice displays, others leaned casually against the walls while checking their Manacrons, and a constant current of students flowed through the halls as they searched for their assigned classrooms.
Some voices carried excitement.
Others carried frustration.
A few even carried fear.
