Meanwhile back at the academy, news of the La Belle and Sovereign making their way back was already known to quite a few.
Rumors were quick to surface regarding the ongoings in the Komi Islands. Most outside organizations assumed the two worked together to uncover some great treasures from the ruin there since they both belonged to Galos academy.
This sort of news could not be ignored by even the big families as a matter regarding a possible ruin discovery was huge. So even before the La Belle and Sovereign made it back to the Galos region numerous airships from outstanding families had arrived under the guise of celebrating Ettenheim's success in securing the Newman Highland's ruin.
Lady Uva had initially been against this idea but given that the majority of professors, inquisitors, guardians and harbingers were aristocrats she needed to accept it, especially since even her Grand Mages supported the idea of Galos Academy hosting a celebratory event.
