The hall buzzed with quiet murmurs as students sat scattered across the massive rows of seats.
Kyle sat with his team. Isolde, Sylvie, Roland, and Orion. At the center-left section, close to the front.
The ceiling stretched impossibly high above them, supported by wide stone arches.
From outside. The building looked like a normal auditorium, but inside, thanks to space magic. It was vast enough to seat over a thousand first-year students comfortably.
The walls were lined with glowing crystals that lit the room in a steady white light, and a massive magical projector stood at the front.
Casting slides onto the large transparent screen behind the stage.
Each student team would be presenting their experience with the monster they faced in the Artificial Rift trials.
The air was tense.
Most students sat straight in their seats, whispering with their teammates or nervously flipping through notes.
