Daytime.
Richard had returned to White Stone Tower Academy and was walking side by side with Gro on the academy's bluestone road.
Looking around, Richard's eyes flickered, noticing some changes.
He saw that nearby buildings had their facades repainted, some damaged parts of the stone road were also repaired, and the trees along the road were meticulously pruned into uniform shapes...
Although everything didn't look brand new, the changes were significant. This reminded him of how some schools on Earth would spruce themselves up in anticipation of inspections by leaders.
What... exactly was the situation?
Richard turned to Gro with this question. Gro's eyes widened, and he expressed surprise, "Lord Richard, do you not know what this is all about?"
Richard shrugged casually, "I really don't know. If you know, please tell me." He had hardly been at the academy recently and was out of touch with messages that were common knowledge.
