It had already been eight days since I had returned from 'I' Ruin. In these eight days, nearly all time went into attending one meeting after another about the battle strategy and comprehensively studying the opponents I will face during the competitions.
There was one meeting that was different than other meetings I had in the past eight days. The Council Meeting had taken most of the day; in it, I had to sign multiple documents and take a series of oaths, and when I return from the meeting, there was a lot more weight on my heart than before.
After checking my storage for everything, which is now in a lot better condition than I had returned from the Ruin, I walked out of my lakehouse.
As I flew out of the lakehouse, I suddenly stopped and looked at the lakehouse that had been my abode in the Academy. Today was the last I had spent in it; when I returned from Orcoz City, I will stay in a completely new residence.
