December 21st, 9:00 PM.
The night sky poured itself onto the environment below.
Stars stretched endlessly above the ocean, their reflections dancing across the dark waters as the cruise ship slowly approached the coastline. A cold winter breeze drifted throughout the deck, carrying the scent of salt and seawater through the air. Some students rubbed their eyes from exhaustion while others practically vibrated with excitement.
Some students yawned; others felt excited to finally step back down on their home turf.
"Finally! Home!"
"I can finally catch up on my studies!"
"Dumbass, we got break soon!"
Continuous hours passed, and Class-1C were doing their final check-in with the instructors prior to getting off board and stepping onto the magic circles positioned along the coastline.
