Second Year...
The first year in the academy ended before one knew that a year had passed since they entered the academy.
Aaron and the girls took two more missions before they officially entered their second year. Though they are now second year, it matters not much as the war escalated outside and most professors were away to keep the alliance stable.
The academy has long become a self-study and where one can level up faster, without having many worries.
There are a few lectures that are held every now and then by the professors who are still at the academy, but they too have many duties to fulfil, making it difficult to take more classes for the students.
Except for Aaron's year students, other year students were almost absent. Except for the crafters professionals, all were deployed elsewhere in one position or another.
