In a flash, a month passed. Things were pretty much normal at the academy... if one could ignore the routinely patrols Ashton had made compulsory and the lack of students.
By the time Ashton was done investigating the situation, roughly a third of the students from the academy were either in prison or in some sort of confinement. As for those who escaped the academy before Ashton made his move, especially Nick Grunta, were in hiding.
The knights in his team wanted to investigate and bring Nick and the rest of them to justice as well. But Jonathan deemed it unnecessary and called the knights back. After all, he needed them to start preparing for war, just in case, the vampires ended up waging a war against them.
