Many things in Trighton City began to move at a break-neck pace, despite retaining its casual atmosphere in the eyes of the public.
The common citizens didn't know about Dean Jarrit's sudden trip, even after he had already left. Their only clue was the lack of his usual acceptance speech for the institute's newest class, which had been fulfilled by Professor Bastol. But many also noticed that of the people entering the institute, two key people were missing, the two finalists of the last tournament.
However, Professor Bastol never explained the matter despite many asking him all about their absence. All he would say was, "Our territory leader will soon give an explanation for everything."
That aside, there were also many major changes taking place within the noble families and prominent businesses.
