The final bell echoed through the academy's corridors, signaling the end of classes. Xavier Valentine rolled his shoulders, trying to release the tension that had built during the day's training sessions. Between Agent Phantom's temporal manipulation demonstration and Professor Rousseau's unexpected revelation about gate classifications, his mind was buzzing with new information.
Gate types designed like video games? Narrative gates that adapt to psychological profiles? This is getting way too close to my situation for comfort.
Xavier gathered his materials, tucking his tablet into his bag while scanning the classroom. Most students were already packing up, eager to escape after the intensive day.
"Quite the day, huh?" Luka boomed, slapping Xavier's shoulder with enough force to make him wince. "First Phantom shows us true power, then Rousseau reveals secrets! Is exciting, like good Russian novel!"
