Chapter 201: Welcome, forge your legend!
The sky above the academy wasn’t just blue, it was alive, painted in glowing streams of energy like someone had drawn constellations with magic.
The academy grounds were carved into a gigantic floating landmass that drifted between hovering peaks, suspended over a bottomless glowing abyss.
Yes, an actual chasm that could most probably lead directly to the core of the earth just based off of how horrendously deep it looked!
Giant glowing birds flapped lazily in the distance. Towering trees shimmered with golden leaves.
A massive staircase of light floated downward into a gate the size of a mountain, guarded by statues that blinked.
The whole structure seemed like one entity; majestic yet serene. It looked almost... alien?
And across the edge of the floating platform, glowing words stretched across the sky in golden light:
"Welcome to the Ambassador’s Academy – Forge Your Legend."
The youths were quickly ushered off the carrier in neat lines, their footsteps echoing against the polished crystal landing platform as glowing signs guided them toward a single, monstrous stairway.
It wasn’t just any stairway. No. It was the stairway, one that coiled like a divine serpent and arched far over a chasm so deep that clouds rolled along the bottom like mist clinging to a bottomless pit.
The staircase was wide enough for ten people to walk side by side, but there were no guardrails.
