[Samael Ashwood's POV]
As we made our way to the classroom, the lively atmosphere shifted slightly, our earlier playfulness giving way to the anticipation of what lay ahead. The academy was vast, and the corridors were already bustling with students rushing to their respective classes. I couldn't help but feel a blend of excitement and apprehension. Today marked the true beginning of our journey, not just as students but as aspiring mages and scholars in a world where knowledge and power went hand in hand.
When we reached the entrance of the classroom, the door was slightly ajar. I could see Professor Lincoln already inside, standing in front of a large chalkboard covered with intricate magical diagrams. His presence dominated the room, commanding attention even in his stillness. The students were settling into their seats, whispering amongst themselves as they threw curious glances in his direction.
