Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Prelude to Tutorial

Ethenia blinks her eyes, and it feels like she just woke up. Looking around she sees the rest of her classmates, and the professor, all lying on the floor.

Glancing around her current surroundings, the floor looks like something out of an aquarium. A thin layer of glass above a crystal blue lake. There’s no bottom, and it almost seems as if the surface is a layer that her gaze can’t penetrate.

Dragging her attention away from the weird floor, she looks in front of her and can’t help but marvel. The lake floor extends as far as the eye can see, there’s no walls, and above is simply a blindingly white sky.

There are four marble-like pillars around everyone, creating a square. Each pillar looks to be spaced evenly with about 50 meters of space between them.

Ethenia’s attention finally turns to the somewhat familiar phenomenon in front of her. She’s seen them before in comics, anime, and games, but seeing it displayed in real life is something different.
