{"prompt":"A wide, dynamic shot captures a grand Namekian-Viking hospitality academy, bathed in the warm, hopeful glow of a golden sunrise filtering through immense carved stone and timber windows. The scene exudes an epic, determined, and promising atmosphere. Young Namekian-Viking trainees, visibly between 18 and 22 years old, stand out with their muscular builds, sharp facial features, and pointed ears. They are impeccably dressed in practical yet ornate Viking-style clothing: sturdy leather tunics and aprons, metallic belts adorned with green gem-like accents, fur-lined cloaks draped over shoulders, and occasionally, light, functional helmets.In the foreground, a group of these eager young Namekian-Viking trainees huddle around a polished, ancient-looking reception counter carved from rich dark wood and green-veined stone, which subtly resembles a modern hotel front desk. They are actively engaged, observing a distinguished, older Namekian-Viking mentor with a wise expression, who is patiently guiding them through managing guest scrolls (check-in procedures). Their expressions are a mix of intense focus and hopeful determination as they mimic handling holographic runes that project guest information.Beyond this, in a bustling, open kitchen area within the same grand hall, another group of young Namekian-Viking trainees is immersed in \"Professional Cookery.\" They skillfully wield gleaming, axe-like knives to prepare exotic, colorful ingredients on heavy stone countertops. One trainee expertly garnishes a dish, while another, under the watchful eye of a seasoned Namekian-Viking chef, tends to a steaming cauldron over a magically glowing hearth, its green light casting ethereal reflections. The chef, with a stern but encouraging demeanor, demonstrates intricate culinary techniques.The architecture blends the rugged grandeur of Viking longhouses and stone halls with the refined elegance of a luxury hotel, incorporating subtle South African design motifs in the carvings and patterns. Cinematic golden light highlights the rich textures of their clothing and the vibrant green of their skin, while localized, warm torch-like glows illuminate specific training stations. The overall perspective emphasizes growth, mentorship, and the clear career pathway ahead, instilling a sense of belonging and aspirational achievement in these future hospitality leaders.
