Zach, Nora, his familiars, and the carriage driver took a detour to a monster-ridden forest to kill some time and small fries and because the principal had told them he didn't want to see anyone on the school grounds during the break. So, Zach figured it would be best to arrive at the very end of the break or maybe even be a little late to the entrance ceremony.
Fortunately, he wasn't late. He arrived in the middle of the hustle and bustle of new and returning students unpacking and moving into the dorms for another dreaded year at the Academy for Summoners.
Zach wondered if Violina, Dukiel, Anerias, and Nessa had arrived yet or if they were doing the same as him and making sure they didn't arrive too early. It was unlikely, considering they were good students and all. But maybe they were busy.
