Slowly, William's feet landed on the solid ground as he took a deep breath of the place, he didn't visit in quite some time.

'The good ol' MPO station, wonder how Root's doing with all the mess?'

Looking around, William could instantly notice that it was emptier than usual. Not sure if it was good or bad sign, probably good. Since there's even less guards.

'Wait. Wasn't this used as an training place?' 

He quickly turned around the heel and took few steps in direction where the MPO dorms/academy was. Finding it there, bustling with people and with more guards than rest of the city. 

As he approached the main entrance. A male guard with only a pair of bottom teeth visible.

"How may I assist you?" He questioned pretty much instantly while his female colleague was checking something on her phone as she seemed more human.

Now that William looked a bit closer, there was a green tint to his skin. "Looking for Root. I'd say Yuumi would be fine too."

His response instantly made the two fully focus on him. As he could see the girl in back pulling out a fucking taser.

"I apologise for inconvenience. But you need to tell us what you want." The greenish soldier asked as he prepared to shoot William instantly in the head with a laser rifle.

"Ehhh... I guess it will be easier this way." William responded, as slowly his Mana started seeping out. Flaring up with clear indication.

The sheer amount of released mana from him instantly forced the two against the buildings door, without a way to come forth.

*Bam!*

The door opened as the two further flew in.

As came out the very man himself, tall, well-built man with a commanding presence. His facial features are sharply defined, boasting prominent cheekbones and a strong, angular jawline. He sports a distinctive, wide flattop haircut that adds to his imposing and disciplined appearance.

Rudol von Stroheim.

"Hope ya remember me." William smiled as his mana once more disappeared, leaving only the small aftermath.

The elder man scoffed at his sight. "Of course I do. William Schweinorg." Rudol spoke with a hint of... disgust? No. Hate?

"Anyway-"

"Come. Director was here, teaching the classes." He motioned for William to follow as he skidded behind him.

In a classroom. Bunch of kids ranging from middle teenagers to early adults were seen, all with books and writing while holding spellcasting active.

The classroom itself looked like the bigger studious one's, where seats for students went higher and higher. With a spot for the Teacher at the bottom, furthest front.

While their teacher was Root herself. Appeared as a young girl in her early to mid-teens with a slender physique and soft, fair skin. Her striking green eyes exude both determination and purity. She has finely textured blonde hair that gleams as if sprinkled with gold dust, adding to her regal aura. Despite her youthful appearance, her face reflects a blend of naivety and elegance, embodying both the grace of a noble and the resolve of a warrior.

As the door opened at back of the class, she didn't bat a wisp of attention as she continued the lecture.

Thankfully, the two newcomers simply sat at the back.
