Reinhard quickly walked through the Academy corridor after getting a message from Klaus. But despite his hurry, he couldn't help noticing the transformation happening around him.
Students and staff worked everywhere he looked, setting up decorations for what was clearly going to be a massive celebration.
Students balanced on ladders, unfurling massive banners that rippled like sails against the stone walls.
Black and white fabric, which was the Academy's colors, that gleamed with gold thread that flashed when caught by sunlight pouring through the arched windows. Each banner proclaimed a different achievement ranking of top students and congratulatory phrases.
Kitchen staff and volunteers streamed past with platters and trays. Enough provisions for a small army rather than a school celebration, no matter how prestigious.
