It holds countless legacies from ancient times and controls many realms outside Edhen. Its alumni include rank seven sorcerers—the Immortal Sorcerers, who have long touched that fabled realm."
Andrew's curiosity was suddenly piqued as Princess Isabella mentioned the rank seven sorcerers. "Are these immortal sorcerers still in Edhen?" he asked.
Princess Isabella sighed and shook her head. "I hear that they have all already ascended to the Immortal Lands. But the academy can still communicate with them, even from afar. That's why it remains one of the most powerful institutions in Edhen."
