I Could Teach You a Bit

The girls walked through the academy's hallways until they reached the outside, following Anna's plan to explore a bit. 

The sunlight offered a pleasant warmth as they advanced toward a garden that, at first glance, seemed ordinary. However, as they ventured further, the vegetation began to change. 

"This… doesn't look like a normal garden," Nina remarked, pausing for a moment. 

Aria, always leading the group, glanced around with a raised eyebrow. 

"What gave it away? The fact that those plants are the size of small trees or that a vine nearly slapped me in the face a second ago?" 

"Both," Nina muttered, quickening her pace to stay closer to Elara. 

Anna was a few steps ahead, observing everything with fascination. The plants were enormous, far larger than they should be. Some leaves seemed to glimmer faintly, and flowers swayed gently as if following their movements.
