An Extra’s POV

782 Grand Tour

Just as Mi'ja promised, Rey and Lucielle experienced a very immersive school tour.

They were shown around the building that all students of their Stage—containing Classes A–F—enjoyed, while also pointing out the other buildings meant for the other Stages. She also didn't fail to mention the Advanced and Final Academic Rounds that could be taken in the Academy once a student was done with the base rounds.

The buildings for those existed in a separate compound from the main one, so they didn't get to see them.

Instead, Mi'ja made up for it with lots of stories and detailed information about the school grounds. By doing so, Rey and Lucielle were bound to feel welcome and not lost at all in the new community they found themselves in.

From the cafeteria, to the leisure halls, to the library—to wherever else that existed on the campus—Mi'ja spared no detail in her tour.

This continued, until finally… they arrived at the last tour venue.

"This is the Practical Hall."

A massive building—the second largest thus far—stood right in front of the students, as she introduced it with child-like glee. It was clear that she had a lot of memories with this place.

The building was at least four stories tall, with a width that was incomparable to other buildings within the same campus. Not even the library or main classroom building was as wide as this… and for good reason.

"This is where Magic and Combat is practiced." Mi'ja spoke, walking towards the building. Rey and Lucielle obediently trailed behind her as she went over the details. Apparently, the first three floors were for the First, Second, and Third Years of the Basic Stages, while the uppermost floor was reserved for guests, instructors, or seniors from the more advanced Stages.

For their purposes, she was only supposed to show them around the First Year Hall.

Once they entered the building, they were met with two reception desks, and behind them were rather strict-looking women who were supposed to take the records of those who came to use the Hall, and those who were done using it.

Mi'ja handled the process by explaining the tour, and all they had to do was sign in with a facial scan. Right before they ventured in, one of the strict-looking receptionists leaked out a rather sly smile and said something strange.
