Shuyun as he took the lead. Once he was before the portal, he took a long step, slightly closing his eyes for the experience of spatial teleportation.
But the next moment he opened them, a completely new scenery appeared.
'Wow, that was slightly... underwhelming...'
Soon after, Yeyin also appeared before him. Smiling, she spoke:
"Welcome to the Asteroia Academy"
Before him, the ground as far as he could see was covered in decorative rock. Contrary to the nature of the elves, there was not a single inch of plant life in sight. Instead, rows and rows of marvelous buildings adorned the stone landscape forming a perfect haven for the eye to witness.
After leaving the walls of the palace, Shuyun was finally introduced to the true life of the elves. Given, this was an academy for the wealthy and powerful, contrary to the bare Palace, this place was bustling with life.
Many elves were seen walking to and fro around the general vicinity. Some of their gazes paused on him and Yeyin before continuing as if nothing happened. It was only now that Shuyun realized there was no portal behind them. It seemed that it is hidden from sight, unable to be gazed upon causally.
Swiveling his head around, he noticed that they were teleported to the center of this mini city. He had almost mistook this as actually being in the royal city had he not seen the sky covering white dome suspended above him. In place of the sun, the gigantic white dome shone an ambient white, giving the atmosphere a healthy white color.
"While this may seem like a city, it is in fact the main dome of the Asteroia Academy, where students resided and classes are held"
She pointed in the far west.
"Over in that direction is the academy's second dome, while to the east..."
She pointed eastward.
"... is the third dome. This is just for the sake of knowledge as you would probably never have to step foot in those areas as I am going to directly admit you to the Asteroias First Class."
Finishing speaking, it seemed as if she was about to talk before she paused once again.
"I also casted an illusion over your true body as to not cause chaos over your race, just to make your life a bit easier."
She winked at him before continuing her walk.
"The rest of the way to administration, he have to walk."
Shuyun nodded as he followed, not voicing a single word of compliant.
Yeyin only smiled further with his attitude, only shuyun could not see it as she was facing forward. It truly was relaxing serving under someone so carefree and respectful. Compared to the usual delegates and family heirs she served, who usually possessed and arrogant and demanding attitude, she felt she had to restrict herself and maintain a fake persona to cater to such stuck up people.
Of course, with the many missions she had performed, she had garnered perfect control over her emotions, and not an ordinary soul could otherwise. Still, she couldn't help but bask in her misfortune.
Because of her identity, her formal image as a maid had to be upheld. In the eyes of nobles and important figures, even to the delegates of the weaker races, they possessed no respect for her lowly status even if they feared the Palace and its might. Had they known who she truly was, they could only grovel for a chance of peacefully taking their own life. Still, it was a part of who she was, and it really made her feel embarrassed to have some of these elfs be apart of the same race as her. She didn't know what the Queen saw in those useless waste of heirs to have her personally attend to them, but her thought process was far beyond that of what she can comprehend. Yeyin possessed full confidence in whatever her queen asked of her, as everything she did and said was for a reason.
With all this it made Shuyun paint himself in a new light.

Administrative Building, First Dome, Asteroia Academy
After a while for around half an hour, Yeyin and Shuuyn arrived before a large building. Surrounding the building was the first sign of greenery Shuyun had seen since arriving here. A scenic view summed up the garden that revolved around the building as flowers of all colors stood in the foreground of the greenest grass he had ever seen.
Despite being the Administrative building, it also seemed as if no one paid any mind to it. Much like the portal room back in the palace, this too, for being such an important location, also seemed to have not a measure in place keeping security in mind. But of course, Shuyun had learned from actually believing in the surface of anything as upon first sight of many things did he get the greatest sense of deception.
Following Yeyin's unyielding footsteps to the grand entrance, shuyun witnessed her place her palm against the door. It was only then did he realize the story tall double doors had no crease to visibly open. It was in the next instant that once again Shuyun felt the traversal of space, and in the next moment, within the hall of what he would assume to be the building.
"Welcome Mister Shuyun, we had received word of your arrival, we hope our first dome had been up to your expectations."
Shuyun witnessed a women and two males appear before him.
