After getting out of the room, I heard a quiet sobbing coming from outside the room.

In the corner of the library, I found a female student sitting alone, tears streaming down her face. I immediately felt a sense of concern for her, and he approached her to see if he could help.
As I neared, the female student looked up, her eyes red-rimmed and filled with tears. I introduced myself and asked if there was anything he could do to help. The female student, whose name was Lila, began to open up to me about her struggles. She told me that she was struggling to keep up with her studies, that she was feeling overwhelmed and that she didn't think she could continue.
I listened to her with empathy, I knew how difficult it could be to keep up with the demands of the academy. I also shared some of my own experiences of struggling with my studies and how I overcame them. The girl listened attentively and she began to feel more confident and motivated. I offered to help her, to mentor her and guide her through her studies. My kind words and offer to help Lila touched her, and she gratefully accepted my offer.
We spent the next few hours together, with me helping Lila to understand the material and to study more effectively. As they worked, I got to know Lila and found her to be an intelligent and kind person with a lot of potentials. But as time passed, I had to leave the academy with his grandmother and Lila was left alone with her struggles once again.
However the quest has yet to be completed, I didn't forget about Lila, I knew that she needed more than just a few hours of help. I knew that Lila was struggling financially and that was the reason she was considering dropping out of the academy. I decided to use my saved money, 45 gold coins, to help Lila fund her studies for the year. I wanted to make sure that Lila could stay in school and continue her studies without having to worry about money. I also told her that if she needed more help she can find my sister, Kira von Keraval.
When I told Lila about my plan, she was overwhelmed with gratitude. She couldn't believe that someone she had just met would be willing to help her in such a significant way. My act of generosity will help Lila to focus on her studies, rather than worrying about how she was going to pay for them.
After I had helped Lila to stay in school and continue her studies, I requested her. I asked her to repay the favour by getting the top grades in her classes, and I promised that I would come back to the academy to collect the favour at a later time.

After that, I bid my farewell and went back to the lecture room. I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment. I had made a difference in her life, and I knew that she would go on to do great things. I felt proud of the role he had played in her success, and I knew that I had helped her to achieve her dreams.
As I made my way back to the lecture room to find his grandmother, his thoughts turned to the future. I knew that I would be leaving the academy soon and returning to the family mansion. I also knew that I would likely not see Lila again. But I took solace in the fact that I had helped her in a meaningful way, and I knew that she would always remember me and my kindness.

As I entered the lecture room, I saw my grandmother and sister sitting at the front of the room, deep in conversation. I approached them with awkwardness due to the strained relationship between me and my sister. I explained to them about Lila and her struggles and asked for his sister's help. His sister, Kira, was initially surprised by his request, but she could see the genuine concern and care in her brother's eyes.
She knew that she had not been kind to her brother in the past, and she wanted to make amends. She agreed to help Lila and promised to do everything she could to support her. I was relieved and grateful to my sister for her willingness to help.

As I, my grandmother and the carriage driver set out on the journey back to the mansion, they were looking forward to getting home after a long and eventful day at the academy. But their journey took a sudden turn when, on the second day, they came across a small injured wolf lying by the side of the road. A quest appeared.
[Quest]
Help the wolf
Reward = Companion
The wolf was clearly in distress, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion for the animal. I asked my grandmother if I could take the wolf with them, and she agreed, knowing that I had a soft spot for animals.
The carriage driver helped me to lift the wolf into the carriage, and they set off again, the wolf lying on a pile of blankets in the corner. I sat by the wolf's side, keeping a watchful eye on the animal and making sure it was comfortable.
