Dorm

Ning arrived at the academy with a massive bag full of clothes and other necessary items. He found his way to the dorm room that was on either side of the academy where he was going to have to stay for a long time.

The academy's main building was nearly 800 meters wide, and he had to go around to even see the dorms. 

"Wow, and it actually extends for so much longer too," Ning thought when he saw the sides of the academy that went on for another 800 meters or so. 

"What's inside of it, I wonder," he thought. "There's so much Essence there that it can't be something natural at all."

On the right side of the academy was the male dorm room, and on the left side of it was the female dorm room.

Ning walked on paved stone roads that were conveniently made for the students to walk on. Letting them walk on the barren land itself wouldn't have been many problems either, but it seemed the academy at least wanted to look good on that front.
