As the elevator doors slid open with a soft ding, the group stepped inside. Cedric scanned the sleek interior, eyes wide with admiration. "Even the elevator feels like something out of a noble's mansion," he muttered.
The elevator ascended smoothly, stopping at the first floor. Arthur and Alicia stepped out, the doors closing behind them as Kaela and Cedric continued to the next level.
Arthur glanced around the hallway, which was bathed in soft golden light from ornate wall sconces. The floor housed fifteen rooms, each one tailored for first-year students. Elegant wooden doors, polished to a gleam, bore the room numbers engraved in gold. The common area at the center featured plush sofas, a grand bookshelf, and a fireplace that crackled softly, filling the space with warmth and a touch of homeliness.
"Looks like we're here," Arthur said, taking in the luxurious surroundings.
