As I entered the classroom early in the morning, for the first time in the Academy, I saw students being excited and happy.
Normally their eyes would be dead, and most of them would enter the classroom with coffees in their hands, but today seemed to be an exception.
The usual hushed tones were replaced by animated conversations, and the air was charged with contagious enthusiasm. It seemed the prospect of joining clubs had ignited a spark of curiosity and anticipation among my fellow cadets.
"Did you see the Elemental Mages Society on the list? I'm totally joining that!"
"Elemental magic is cool and all, but I'm thinking of going for the Alchemical Engineering Club. Imagine creating potions and elixirs! To be honest, I think I can nail the money from there."
A group of students huddled near the holographic display that showcased the clubs, their fingers pointing at different icons as they discussed their interests.
