Chapter 288: Award Ceremony Disaster

The lavish grand hall was adorned with opulent tapestries.

Shimmering chandeliers made of real diamond hung from the ceiling, casting a warm and resplendent glow throughout.

Intricate carvings telling valorous stories of the cadets of the past were engraved with pure gold on the walls, paying homage to the academy's history.

The air was filled with a sense of anticipation. 

Many esteemed guests and uniform-clad cadets crowded the hall, plates of snacks or glasses of wine in their hand as they socialized, their excitement was clearly visible.

A high stage stood in the front of the hall, flanked by two colossal banners painted with the academy's emblem. 

The lectern draped with a rich velvet cloth was placed at the center of the stage.

The cadets who were going to receive their awards this evening were standing on the right side at the base of the stage, awaiting the commencement of the ceremony.
