In Daniel's office, a sense of familiarity washed over him as he returned to the place he hadn't seen in years.
Despite spending more time in Winterrealm than here, deep down, Daniel never truly considered Winterrealm his home.
This office, however, felt like home.
Everything in the office was just as he had left it.
It was clear that someone had been cleaning it regularly; otherwise, a thick layer of dust would have covered everything.
News of Daniel's return had spread quickly, drawing several visitors to his office, including Isolde and Rowan.
In front of Daniel lay several books—records documenting the changes and developments in the academy and Riverside City over the past few years.
These records had been meticulously compiled by academy staff.
With a quick sweep of his mind power, Daniel absorbed the contents, gaining a clear understanding of how the academy had evolved in his absence.
