Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 215: To the Dormitory

The Ascendance Academy of Midgard stood at the heart of a vast valley, ringed by mountains that rose like solemn sentinels. Their slopes were draped in forests woven from every shade of green imaginable... deep pine, vivid emerald, and flashes of bright new growth that caught the light like fire brought to leaf. The trees climbed until they blurred into the mist-wreathed summits, where jagged peaks kissed the endless sky. The air itself carried a sharp, untamed freshness, laced with the resin of pine, the sweetness of blooming flowers, and a faint metallic tang, as though the land’s very roots whispered of hidden mineral magic.

The academy grounds unfolded before Eleanor like a kingdom of their own, vast and deliberate. From the steps of the Administrative Building, she could see three-storied structures rising amid the trees in every direction. Their red-brick walls, patterned with gothic arches and crowned with elegant gables, seemed shaped by the dreams of medieval masons. They glowed warmly beneath the last touch of sunlight, as if the valley itself had accepted their presence into its ancient design.

The other side of the buildings stretched open fields, rich and green, their surfaces smoothed with impossible precision. Courts for football, basketball, volleyball, hockey, and tennis lay in measured symmetry, their white lines bright against the turf. Further away, an outline of a swimming pool shimmered... not a mere basin of water, but a flawless mirror of the heavens, turning the low sun into a sheet of liquid gold.

Led by Ondina, the group marched forward along a smooth black pitch road that wound in graceful arcs to join the scattered structures. On either side, tall trees stood in stately lines, their branches arched high overhead to weave living vaults of leaves and blossoms. Yet these were no ordinary trees... some bore blossoms as wide as a hand, glowing faintly with inner luminescence; others gleamed with silver bark, polished so bright it caught every wandering ray of light.

At their roots bloomed wildflowers in radiant clusters, colours colliding into an artistry that seemed too perfect to be chance... blues as deep as ocean chasms, reds brighter than flame, yellows and violets that pulsed like jewels alive. Vines coiled and uncoiled between them, tipped with crystalline petals that fractured the light into tiny rainbows. Bees with wings like stained glass drifted lazily among them, while hummingbirds darted past in streaks of iridescent emerald and gold.

Above them, stretched a sky flawless and immense, shading slowly from unbroken blue to the amber and rose of sunset. The sun sank low, scattering its light across the valley until every leaf, every stone, and every blade of grass glowed with a golden sheen. It was as though the world itself held its breath, suspended in the last perfect moment between day and night.

Yet beneath all its solidity, something else stirred... an undertone of strangeness. At the edges of vision lay a shimmer, a subtle reminder that this place was not bound by the ordinary rules of Earth. Every tree, every flower, every stone of those castle-like halls seemed alive, vibrating faintly with a quiet, unspoken majesty.
