Chapter 9: Entrance Exam (1)
Irasios Academy is the pinnacle of magical education in the whole empire and possibly the whole world, specializing in Zodiac Weaving, where students harness celestial power from the twelve zodiac constellations.
Built atop a powerful leyline convergence, the academy itself shifts subtly with the stars, hallways stretching, doors appearing only when the planets align. Magic isn't just studied here; it's woven into reality.
It's a labyrinth of power, prestige, and danger, where only the strongest or the smartest thrive.
Passing the Irasios Academy entrance exam was no small feat.

The Awakened already had their Zodiac Connection, while the Unawakened, well, they were a mystery.
Some had dormant signs waiting to bloom, but it was never empty.
