"All right, you're all dismissed, students," Robert announced after the last battle concluded.
"Tomorrow, I'll share your compiled information during class, so you can identify areas for improvement and strive to grow stronger."
As he finished speaking, the students began to disperse, each heading off to pursue their own interests and activities.
The sound of chatter filled the air as they exchanged thoughts on the day's events.
As Elion prepared to leave, he spotted Clarice approaching him, her gaze locked firmly onto his.
Anticipating more trouble, he braced himself for a bicker.

"I'm sorry, Elion," she said, her tone sincere. "I was upset earlier because I thought you relied on connections to get into the academy. But I realize now that the princess recommended you for a reason. You're strong."
