Friday morning arrived faster than most students expected.
The usually lively atmosphere of Arcadia Academy felt different today.
There was excitement and curiosity.
Also nervousness between all students.
All three emotions could be seen on the faces of the students gathered inside the Gateway Hall.
The massive hall was one of the most important locations within the Academy.
Several enormous teleportation gates stood throughout the chamber, each built from ancient stone covered in glowing runes.
Soft blue light flowed across their surfaces like liquid mana.
Today, Class A of the second year had gathered before one of those gates.
Nearly eighty-eight students stood in organized groups while talking among themselves.
Some looked excited. Others looked nervous. Many simply couldn't stop staring at the enormous portal before them.
After all... They were about to leave the Human Continent.
They were going to visit the Demon Kingdom.
