Lyren was the first to leave, followed by his attendants. The students and professors trailed after him, their voices echoing softly through the wide corridors.

Trafalgar walked alongside Zafira, a few steps behind Cynthia, Bartholomew, and Xavier. Groups of students were already splitting off, searching for their assigned rooms.
"How do you feel being here?" Trafalgar asked casually.
Zafira glanced at him. "What do you mean? Because it's your first time in an underwater city?"
He shook his head. "Well, yes — it's fascinating, being this deep under the sea. I didn't even know something like this existed. I thought the Myrrhvale lived near ports or beaches… not inside the ocean."
