Hearing the guard's words, Daniel felt a surge of curiosity.
Who could be visiting at this time?
Upon returning to his office, he found Rowan already there, waiting anxiously.
"Headmaster, you're finally back," Rowan said quickly upon seeing Daniel. "Just after you left, a group from the renowned Karea Academy to the south arrived. They were on their way to Lakecity for student recruitment but happened to pass through Riverside City—and they took an interest in our students."
Daniel quickly understood the situation.
Karea Academy was famous, a prestigious institution boasting the Free Federation's best educational resources.
Compared to Crossbridge Academy, it was a well-established powerhouse.
While Crossbridge Academy had great potential, it was still in its early stages.
Given more time, it might one day rival Karea Academy. But for now...
In a few words, Daniel got a clear picture of what was happening.
