After the midterm exams concluded, the academy announced a study group program—a suggestion from none other than the head of the academy, Arsene von Braveheart.
I couldn't help but feel there was a hidden agenda behind his proposal. This didn't seem like the right time for a study group. But regardless, I decided to participate. After all, I still had a quest to uncover the source of the shadows and reveal the true culprit behind the recent student kidnappings.
Professor Aldin explained the details to our class. The students were thrilled—this was the first study group in over a year. Excitement buzzed through the room.
Then came the announcement: we would be traveling to the Grand Kingdom of Solara, home to the famed Solara Magic Academy.
Solara was a neutral kingdom, one of the few places we could safely visit, given the ongoing conflict between Braveheart and the Mercenary Kingdom of Gildoria.
