Eini sighed as she looked at what the area near the academy had become.
It had been a bit more than four years since she had separated from Shiba, and the Holy War was finally about to start.
In those four years, the two sides had been gathering strength and reorganizing themselves, which needed up influencing everything in the surrounding area.
There weren't towns or cities near the academy anymore. All of them had changed into military bases belonging to one of the two sides.
Experts had also been gathering non-stop. If it hadn't been because Shire was on the academy, it would have been absorbed into the holy War too.
Still, the pressure was increasing to make them choose one side. At that moment, only the academy and the city around the academy remained as a place for non-combatants to live. Once the academy accepted to aid one side, they would also be forced to become soldiers, which was something that the academy didn't desire.
