Every year, the thesis defence in Raya University attracts top professors from various universities, researchers from different research institutes, and sometimes even academicians from the Academy of Sciences, or on rare occasions, even some of the leading scientists in the empire.
The reason so many distinguished guests came to Raya University, despite its geographically challenging location, was not because it belonged to the royal family, but because of its hard power: the exceptional quality of its students. As the only prime-tier university in the empire, it once operated at a loss just to maintain educational standards unmatched anywhere in the empire or the world.
The phrase "used to" is key because things have changed. Over the past decade, thanks to the inventions of several brilliant minds at the university, it has begun to recover those losses through royalties, transforming its financial situation entirely.
