"Permission Level: Associate Professor. Special Annotation: Member of the New Star Plan. Spiritual Contamination Resistance: Requires real-time testing to determine specific value." The construct extended an arm made of crystal. The surface of the crystal flowed with strange runes, pointing towards a shadow-swallowed dark door deep within the library: "Please proceed to the testing area for contamination resistance assessment. This is a necessary procedure for entering the forbidden area. Any attempts to bypass this procedure will be considered a direct threat to the school's safety." Ron followed the construct through the dark door and immediately felt the change in air quality. The atmosphere here seemed compressed by some invisible weight, with every breath requiring extra effort. He could hear faint heartbeat sounds emanating from within the walls, as if the entire building were the innards of some giant creature. The testing chamber was a perfectly circular space, with no decorations, only pure black walls and floor. A giant crystal ball, about two meters in diameter, floated in the center of the room, its interior swirling with nauseating dark mist. The mist did not remain stationary but within the sphere formed intricate spiral patterns. Each rotation released a weak but extremely dangerous spiritual shockwave.
