Over the course of the previous three days, Daphne, Fiona, and Celestia have engaged in collaborative training sessions at the arena. Both also goes to the library daily.
Fiona and Daphne would often also argue with each other, but Celestia always stepped in to resolve it.
As time elapsed swiftly, each freshman diligently made comprehensive preparations for the Twilight Zone. The academy had a fairly tranquil atmosphere.
As for Noah? He had become a figure of indifference, with nobody making any real effort to discuss him, and the general apathy towards him had grown significantly. For Goren, though, he still had that false reality he made up in his head.
Fiona largely disregarded his advances, yet Goren persisted in pursuing her relentlessly. In a forthright manner, she explicitly expressed her complete lack of interest in him, yet, in spite of Goren's awareness of this fact, he continued his insistent behavior.
Today was scheduled to be the day they departed for the Twilight Zone.
At present, all newly enrolled students are gathered in an orderly manner at the forefront of the Academy, attentively attending to the professors as they elucidate their forthcoming agenda. They were all diligently and keenly engaged in listening.
Many of stationary ships were park in their vicinity, and these ships had undergone modifications to incorporate various armaments and additional amenities. This ships was specifically designated for use by the Pontiac Academy, with the exception of the Duke and the Royal family's.
Once the professors finished their instructions, they started heading inside the ships.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll fifty plus ships rose to the sky and started heading in the Twilight Zone direction. They had to drop by the Guild Hunters Association first, as they had jurisdiction over the forest.
Naturally, the Guild Association was already aware of their arrival, as this exphidition is an annual undertaking of the Pontiac Academies.
Pontiac Academy is not obligated to go there but they just went to the Guild Hunter Association for formalities.
Five hours have passed…
Numerous vessels can be observed descending from the sky beyond the guild's boundaries. The present leader of the Association was currently positioned in front of the edifice, awaiting to extend a warm welcome to the academy.
While the ships remained stationary in midair, Professor. Hawkin leaped down and slowly touched the ground.
He approached the Head of the Association and cordially greeted him, expressing, "Greetings, Warden. It has been quite some time since we last meet huh."
The warden reciprocated his greeting, and the accompanying higher authorities respectfully extended their greetings as well.
Warden was a Royal Swordsman, and he can be said to be on par in strength with Hawkin. He was also the one who founded this organization.
"Has it truly been a long time, like a year? Anyway, welcome back."
"Yes, well, there are about a thousand students this time, so the whole outer area of the forest might get cleared out." He chuckled as he suggested that the hunters may find themselves with idle hands in the times ahead.
"Hoh? Are there any outstanding students this year?"
"Yes, indeed, the current composition of A class consists of six students. It is noteworthy to mention that the initial count was seven."
"However, one student has mysteriously gone missing, most likely as a consequence of his boastful claims culminating in his defeat in the battle. Undoubtedly conceited, if I may be so bold."
"Seven!? That is quite a lot, in the past, usually there would only be about one, two, or three at best. I am also quite curious who the students that fought mind telling me."
"It's Noah Velart and Fiona Raverdieu."
"Raverdieu?! Oh, is that Zenryx also in the academy?" Warden was shocked again by what he said.
"Nah, we do know that he should be coming next year. That kid is too unpredictable."
Warden nodded, agreeing to his words.
"Anyway, Noah Velart truly seems to be too arrogant. The Velart family truly spoiled that brat."
"Yes, but I've been told by the Velart Family that after he disappeared from the academy, he never returned to their territory."
"Really? Where could that young master of the Velart have gone? He might have secluded himself and he's too embarrassed about the battle."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That is also a possibility, but I've also investigated the matter. In fact, I've talked to the people who were tending to his injuries after the battle, and they said that he was very upset at first, but the next day he seemed to calm down, and then after that he disappeared, which is truly weird."
"Did you ever think that he might have a change of mindset and went to train and come back when he got stronger and such?"
"Yes, anyway, I will be going now, as the students are still waiting for me and we still have to head to the Twilight Zone."
After exchanging goodbyes, Prof. Hawkin retraced his steps and leapt into the air, ultimately touching down on the posterior exit hatch of the ship.
Upon his return, the ships swiftly departed and set a course towards the vast expanse of the forest.
Warden watched as the ship flew away from the ground. Once it was out of sight, he headed back inside and instructed all the other people to get back to their work.
He reentered his office, and a silhouette could be discerned seated in the corner.
He cast a fleeting look towards him and uttered, "Well, they are gone, you can rest easy. The Doom Order is currently recruiting talents like you. We will help you achieve all your goals. If it were not for the Raverdieu's, we would have already been able to be on par with the Royal family."
The figure sitting down in the corner nodded and said, "Alright, thanks." But, his lack of gratitude was evident, suggesting that his response was perfunctory.
Warden did not mind it that much and continued to speak, "Also, do not provoke the Raverdieu's any more, this is a warning. You may not know this, but Raverdieu's main family is not even on this planet."
"This branch family alone is so strong, let alone the main family. Let me tell you that we know some stuff about them, and their main family consists of many old monsters that probably have lived for millions of years, which is why they are called the oldest fossils of progenitors. The Raverdieu family did not even come from this planet, and there are even rumors that they came from a distant universe or galaxy."
The individual seated was considerably taken aback, nearly succumbing to physical fatigue, as the revelation of the family's hidden depths surpassed his expectations.
