[@Prince of Seraphs] they only sound that way. It's a little thing called an "exception". Plus I don't like to leave RPs. I've rarely left them voluntarily. Unless I was completely unwanted I don't leave, and in this case my team is the biggest reason I'm still here.

And I was sure Beacon and the area around it would have some stores and recreational centers around it too. It's not like Beacon is exclusively the Academy, which is similar to university campuses.

It's similar to a university but it's still a battleschool. It's kept separate from the regular population.

Beacon's segregated from the rest of Vale, one side the lake, and the others forests. That's why everyone always takes the airship whenever they go into town.
