Making their way down from the floating island, they walked along the pavement of the town-like market below until they reached their destination.

The underground auction, otherwise known more famously as the academy's luxurious Dragon's Den, only opens once every 5 months.
As a way to fund some of their projects or maintenance, the academy accepted services related to auctioning and selling prized items of worth. And the reputation of the Dragon's Den wasn't small either.
The Dragon's Den was also equipped with an underground market, allowing small and licensed vendors to set up shop; the cost of setting up shop was that they only needed to pay a small percentage of what they earned.
'If I remember correctly, even after being allowed into the Dragon's Den, it would only be 30 minutes after we get in that the auction would begin.'
