Intro
The main gate of the Royal Magic Academy shimmered under the midsummer sun.
The July heat rose from the stone floor like a haze, and beyond the arched entrance, groups of students could be seen milling about.
The regular admission season is March. By late August, the campus should normally be quiet, but today was different.
It was the day when late-transfer students and special admission qualifiers were pouring in all at once.
I looked up at the main gate, gripping the handle of my carrier tightly.
My light pink hair stuck damply to the back of my neck.
Wow, it's seriously huge...
The circular fountain in the central plaza was dazzling in the sunlight, and the spires of the main building, engraved with the Knight Order's crest, pierced the sky.
Among the students in uniforms, I felt my shoulders shrink, feeling a bit out of place in my ivory off-shoulder dress.
Am I the only one in plain clothes...?
A woman with mustard-colored hair, who was coming out from the dormitory area holding a clipboard, spotted Gong Seong-yang and stopped in her tracks.
Her orange eyes scanned her from head to toe.
