At the Genus Academy's Gathering Hall...
Without being prompted, all of the students had congregated. Regardless of their race, this is. All enrolled members of the Genus Academy, including visitors, had a responsibility to abide by the regulations. In any case, the area they are in right now is a Neutral Area. Starting a war between the three races by fighting here is forbidden.
No one dares make the opening move unless the entire race is prepared to be pitted against the other races. Because doing so would force the other two races to cooperate in eradicating them. The Genus Academy has that as its policy.
The current vampire king, Athan Vladimir, initially had no intention of going to the ceremony.
