Uriel's life became a comfortable routine that repeated day after the other. He attended as many classes as he could before noon, then helped Professor Pangeotis until it was time to train with his classmates followed by long study sessions that could last until late night.

The only silver lining about his situation being that with Hathaway in the study group, Uriel was finally able to reach his daily training requirements.
