The academy didn't consist of one building. Instead, it was more of a cluster of about a dozen buildings. Each of them had a special purpose of its own, but the first years were only allowed to access seven of these.
First was the hostel in which they were housed. The second was the educational building in which most of their theoretical courses would take place. The next one was the combat arena, it was the same building where the examination had taken place. it was generally used by the second and third years, but the first years were free to use it during combat training classes.
The fourth building was the armoury. Here the students could buy or sell equipment to and from any kingdom on the continent formerly known as Asia. Though they would have to pay a certain amount of tax deepened on the rarity of the equipment bought or sold and also to which kingdom the transaction was taking place.
