Cheers and applause resounded within the wide room like an orchestral swell composed by the thousands of students.
The headmaster's void-like black eyes swept across the sea of students, a hearty smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He raised his hand, and the room once again fell into a euphoric silence.
His lips parted slowly, and he spoke, "Many of you have already been shaped into blunt swords..." he paused and looked at a few of the students, including Selina, Jamie, Shelly and Jaden.
He took a few steps to the left and widened his right arm as he gestured at the teachers, Instructors and other faculty sitting on the ornate chairs.
"And all of these are the best arcane knights humanity has to offer; they will be the ones who will sharpen you using the whetstone of experience and knowledge that they have gained by putting their lives on the line."
