The academy in the Dark Faction had been operating the same way it had done in the past. Students were taking part in monthly assessments, allowing them to improve their skills and share their knowledge.
After the Dark Magus's display of power over a month ago, the sign-ups to the academy had actually increased compared to before, and there was a larger stream of students entering the academy after they learned from others that things were a bit easier.
The assessments were less about life and death, and the teachers' focus had shifted to the honor of the Dark Faction and fostering a competitive drive to be the best, without the need for survival assessments that were live-or-die.
Right now, in the Red Headband group, a teacher was on stage set up outside in the courtyard in front of the red headband building.
