Chapter 34: Lumen City
August 1st, 1513; 07:00 hrs;
Inside the hustling and bustling city of Lumen, skyscrapers and luxury high-rises pierced the sky, their glass windows reflecting blinding sunlight.
All kinds of luxurious, sleek, and expensive cars were driving around, moving around artisanal cafés and high-end boutiques.
Large screens advertised different products on the skyscrapers, and nouveau riche young adults drove around recklessly.
This was Lumen City, the financial hub of Cythos, richer than even the capital city of Veltara.
If Veltara was a hub of rich and powerful nobility, Lumen was the hub of powerful guilds, merchants, and trading between nations due to its proximity to the border..
But the thing this city was most famous for was the Lumen Academy, the best Academy in not just Cythos, but also for Solstice.
And this month, the entire city was even more bustling due to a single event that was going to air on national television.
Lumen Academy’s entrance exam.
Top talents from all over the Cythos and Solstice were attending the exam, trying to get into this prestigious institution, only reserved for the best of the best.
It was one of the biggest achievements a person can get, even as a high noble.
