A shuttle landed in the outskirts of Scabbard City.
Amongst shabby white-walled homes and various cheap and affordable workshop buildings, a single neglected campus stood out from the rest.
Aside from occupying a bit more space than the other lots, the site also featured a large, three-story structure that was notable for its state of disrepair!
The peeled coating, the obvious signs of corrosion and even the partially-collapsed sections all showed that whoever owned this building did not invest any money in maintaining it over the years!
"So this is the prestigious location of the great Annihilator Sword School." Ketis mildly said. "How… quaint."
Commander Sendra, Angelique Harcourt and a number of other Swordmaidens exited the shuttle and beheld the urban decay.
