The Peaceful Academy’s Opening Ceremony

"Haah…"

The enthusiasm they had during the entrance ceremony had long since faded, and now, the students found themselves trapped in the swamp of returning to class, gathered in the auditorium with miserable expressions.

"The opening ceremony will begin in 30 minutes. Please take your seats."

Voices filled the hall.

After nearly two months apart, the students had plenty to catch up on.

They shared stories about their vacations.
They talked about people they had seen while walking down the streets.
Unlike in modern times, where communication was easy, their only options were letters or expensive magical artifacts. So, whenever an opportunity arose, they eagerly exchanged updates, making the most of their time together.
