THE PAIN - Inazuma Eleven Go Fanfic

CHAPTER 41: SHIZEN ACADEMY

The following day, as the clock struck three in the afternoon, the usually serene grounds of Shizen Academy transformed into a bustling hub of activity. The air was filled with the vibrant energy of students from diverse corners of the globe, creating an atmosphere that distinctly deviated from the ordinary tranquility.

Wide-eyed and filled with a sense of awe, the members of Raimon couldn't help but marvel at the sight before them. This wasn't the Shizen Academy they had expected — it was a thriving international institution that dwarfed even the grandeur of Teikoku Academy.

"It's like stepping into a palace. This is nothing like our usual school," remarked one of the Raimon players, taking in the expansive surroundings.

As they navigated the impressive campus, the realization sank in that Shizen was not just an academy; it was a global community of students from various cultural backgrounds, converging in pursuit of excellence. The architecture, the scale, everything spoke of an institution committed to fostering an environment of diversity and learning.

Before they could absorb the entirety of this revelation, a figure approached them with purpose. The unfamiliar face bore an air of authority, her attire adorned with the distinguished Shizen insignia in black and gold.

"Hello, you must be Raimon," the authoritative figure declared, her voice carrying a sense of warmth and formality.

"Hai, we are Raimon. And you are?" Haruna inquired, her eyes curiously studying the tall, blonde-haired teen with captivating purple eyes.

"Hi, I'm Miller Reina. The chairman has entrusted me with the task of guiding you through a tour of our esteemed academy," Reina introduced herself with a poised smile, emanating an air of maturity and responsibility that mirrored the stature of the academy she represented.

"Thank you. We are in your care, Miller-san." Shindou responded gratefully to the whole team.

Reina gestured for them to follow as she began the tour, guiding Raimon through the labyrinthine corridors and open courtyards of Shizen Academy. "The academy was built two years ago by the chairman of the Starlight Organization. It was a tribute to his wife, who is musically talented. Everyone calls her the gentian goddess because of her passion, loveliness, and sweetness towards others."

"Why are many foreign students here? How do you manage without any conflicts?" asked Hamano, curious.

"Because it was intentionally built as an international academy. We are able to accommodate students from around the world due to our unique system and the chairman's vision of fostering global harmony through education. Shizen Academy focuses not only on academic excellence but also on cultural exchange and understanding," explained Reina, her words resonating with a sense of pride in the institution's mission.

As they strolled through the expansive campus, Raimon glimpsed classrooms where students engaged in lively discussions, art studios filled with creativity, and sports facilities echoing with the sounds of athletic pursuits. The atmosphere was charged with a palpable sense of enthusiasm and dedication to learning.

Reina continued, "Our system is designed to embrace diversity and promote cross-cultural interactions. Students are encouraged to share their traditions, languages, and perspectives, fostering an environment where everyone learns from one another. This is how we manage without conflicts with the help of the student bodies."

Raimon can't help but admire the idea of Shizen's system. It truly shows them that students are having fun with what they are doing.

The tour eventually led them to the academy's central courtyard, a breathtaking space adorned with sculptures and surrounded by architectural wonders. Here, students from different backgrounds conversed, laughed, and collaborated on various projects, embodying the essence of Shizen's commitment to unity in diversity.
