The next school year have arrived, 1284 A.D (After Diamant).
Don was ecstatic, and couldn't sleep last night. He would be going to the Academy with his brother!
Ronin suddenly grabbed his shoulder before going through the entrance.
"Remember, we are in different years and a different spire. I'm 3rd year now, so next year, I would be in the Upper Years, while your still in your Lower Years."
"And what does that mean, Brother?" He blinked his large blue eyes, confused.
"That means... That we cannot be seen around together much. I am just your servant's son, it might raise suspicion." Ronin said.
"But---"
"On the surface, at least. You must focus on gaining connections in Warriors too if you want to become a Knight. Skill is just half of it, socialization is also required."
Ronin continued to explain. "If they see you hanging around with Commoner and a Scholar.... Knowing the feud between the two Spires... They will find you weird. Freakish."
