Zach woke up the next morning and was still tired. But while he was tired, and his body felt heavy, he wasn't sleepy. So he rose and took a stroll around the Academy right before sunset, letting the cool air flow through his lungs and maybe energize him.
It didn't work, but he at least met up with Nessa who was also out and about. Zach talked to her until the others also woke up and joined them. He found out that they had also earned the same title as him.
It didn't feel as special anymore, but it was right that they had it. Then, they talked about what they were going to do after stopping by the capital and receiving their reward.
Julius was the first to announce his plans, possibly because he was the only one with them.
He was going to follow Zoe back to the Underworld. He didn't need underworld energy to live, but it made living a lot easier and more comfortable for him in his current state. His Mannequin would also continue growing stronger by living in the Underworld.
