One month, that was all the time that I have to spend home after the first semester. After the second semester there is that secret realm. Since I wanted to enter that realm, I can't return home.
I am sure that the academy would give a few days for the students that enter the secret realm. After all, the ones that enter the realm would be tired after a month of continuous battles inside the realm but the rest would probably too small to enjoy time at home.
With the teleportation circles, I can instantly return to home but the new year should have been started by that time. So the academy might allocate a few days to rest, probably until monthly exam but with that not far behind, I can't enjoy the time I would get like I planned to do so in this month.
So I decided to dedicate this month to the family. Moreover, Eritrea would come home in this month. Her military contract has expired. So she can come home at this time.
