The classroom teacher, who had been observing all of this commotion, slammed his hand on the podium.
With that, the attention of every student turned towards him, and he cleared his throat before continuing, "Let me rephrase it once more regarding the semi-annual function."
As he spoke, the students, already aware of the importance of the event, perked up and focused intently on the teacher.
"Our country, Indraprashta, is divided into Imperial grades, with the Imperial Palace ruling over the land. The provinces fall under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City, and only a select few have the opportunity to journey there," the teacher explained, scanning the students' faces. "This semi-annual event is your chance to catch the eye of prominent families and earn an invitation to the Imperial City."
Upon hearing this, a mix of excitement and solemnity appeared on the students' faces, their emotions ranging from eager anticipation to quiet contemplation.
