As Eastern Victory University broke apart and reassembled, the second-year students in the Laboratory Building only felt their consciousness blur for a moment before regaining clarity. But when they looked out the window again, they no longer saw Shadow Phoenix Trees against a gloomy dark-red backdrop. Instead, they saw a fresh expanse of emerald green, dotted with flowers and plants of every color. A green lake lay embedded in the pristine earth like an enormous gemstone. Warm, gentle, radiant sunlight streamed through the windows onto their faces, so pleasant it felt like a lover's tender caress. Taking a deep breath, they inhaled the scents of flowers, the freshness of soil, and the moist air, all of it invigorating their spirits.

And you're acting all high and mighty
