"Welcome, applicants, to the Central Academy's Entrance Examination."
The moment the blinding light faded from Arthur's vision, he found himself standing in the courtyard of a massive academy.
The emblem of twin swords locked into a shield, surrounded by swirling magic, was etched into nearly every visible surface.
Towering structures and grand castles radiated elegance and nobility.
The road resembled one that might be found on the streets of London.
And at the heart of the academy stood a colossal clock tower.
'I did hear one of the game's background developers was British, but this…' Arthur swallowed hard.
It felt as if London had transformed into an academy, with its technology replaced with magic and magitech.
"Wow, did you see that?"
Arthur glanced at the other applicants who had also passed the first test.
Among them, he recognized several familiar faces, some even named characters.
The students began murmuring, but once their eyes landed on the academy—
Silence.
