His next thing: Artefact Handling!
The Artefacts department is in the sprawling Mana Studies section of the Academy, the most expansive one. The section was originally housed only in the building where Sugira observed the Runes class, before the Academy became so incredibly famed for the skill of its graduates.
This information can be read from a plaque in the entrance hall.
Now, it's actually more of an interconnected web of buildings, having slowly expanded and then consumed the nearby housing complexes. Many of the closest extensions, and connections - mostly covered pathways from the upper floors - are made of the same pale stone as the rest of the city, but the colours often do not match the connecting buildings - or even the more common colours found in the area - lending the complex something of a mismatched air. The plaque mentions that many of the early expansions were built using materials taken from buildings on the outskirts of the city.
The class Sugira is looking for takes place in one of the ground floor training halls, the surfaces of which are covered with runes to keep any damage from bringing the building down. The entrance is right off the main hall, and there is an audience of about two dozen up in the observation area, come to see the new crop of wielders.
Most of the students - there are less than twenty out in the floor when he arrives - are dressed unlike the people of Sanctuary. He will have seen mostly robes of various types around the city, from the open ones worn over tunics and leggings common around the Academy, to the often belted overrobes and fitted underrobes worn by many of the people in the palace district. These students' clothing styles vary more - ranging from tunics and leggings without the robes, to simple dresses, to loose, layered outfits, often with intricate scenes and patterns stitched, dyed, or printed upon them.
Most of the students are in their mid-teens to late-twenties, but there are some outliers - two children under thirteen, and a woman in her mid-fifties.
