Underground, Origin Pillars
"Why is it not activating?" The Principal frowned deeply, unable to understand why the pillars, which had once activated with ease, suddenly stopped functioning.
The students, clueless about what was happening, stood by nervously, waiting for the Principal to take action. The Principal moved from her position, meticulously inspecting each student to ensure they were performing the activation correctly.
After a thorough check and finding no apparent issues, the Principal returned to her position and addressed the students once more, "Say it again."

Just like before, the pillars abruptly lit up with a burst of energy, only to die down almost instantly.
"..." Principal's frown deepened. She instructed the students to step away from the pillars and await further instructions, her frustration barely concealed.
