The final bell rang, its echo reverberating through the polished halls of St. Liora's Academy.
Students spilled out of classrooms in lively clusters, filling the corridors with a symphony of chatter, laughter, and the rustling of their crisp uniforms.
Outside the school gates, a line of sleek luxury cars idled patiently, ready to whisk their young masters away.
Parents dressed in fashionable clothes, with noble temperaments, hugged their children and opened the doors for them.
Chauffeurs in matching black suits opened doors as students filed in one by one, the courtyard buzzing with youthful energy and excitement.
Amidst this lively atmosphere Liz and her friends walked gracefully out of the school gates, talking and laughing among themselves.
"So what about 'Shadow Breakers'? Sounds cool, right?" Dylan proposed loudly as they approached the gates.
Clara scrunched up her nose in disapproval. "That sounds too edgy! We're not villains from a comic book."
