Iron Sword

Two months had passed since Takeuchi and five other visitors had learned in the academy.

Many had happened during these months, each day filled with new discoveries for Takeuchi.

Takeuchi had already searched into the two arc magis he had chosen.

After the ceremony in the grand hall, he hurried toward Ivy, his shadow slave guiding him swiftly toward the left-wing building as if reading his mind.

"Ivy's lab is underground," Takeuchi murmured to himself, following the shadow slave's lead.

Descending the stairs, he expected darkness but was instead greeted by a bright, luminescent environment.

The ceiling was adorned with glowing stones that cast a light as clear and blue as the sky.

The illumination wasn't like his glowing blue mushroom, but it was like the sky, just descending into the underground ceiling.

"What kind of stones are these?" he wondered aloud, marveling at their beauty and illumination.
