As Judio, Amon, and Nena disembarked from their modest Karitela, the grandeur of the Union Academy unfolded before them.
The academy's towering spires reached skyward, their glass facades shimmering with embedded runes that pulsed gently in the midday sun. Floating platforms drifted gracefully between structures, defying gravity with an elegance that left the trio in silent awe.
"I knew it would be impressive," Judio murmured, his voice tinged with wonder, "but seeing it in person is something else entirely."
Nena nodded, her eyes wide as she took in the sight. "It's like stepping into a totally different world. Everything here feels... alive."
Amon, usually reserved, couldn't hide his amazement. "The harmony between technology and magic... it's beyond anything I could have imagined."
