The academy was awash in festivity—today marked the farewell celebration. The third-year students would soon graduate, and as tradition dictated, the teachers had organized a send-off in their honor.
The campus, however, felt emptier than usual. Nearly one-third of the student body had already departed after receiving their mentor assignments. Some had even begun working in their respective fields.
The final exam wasn't mandatory for everyone—students could skip the written assessment if they had already achieved something noteworthy in their domain.
A few had left following the Spiritual User's attack, citing safety concerns. The tragedy of that day, especially the loss of several teachers, had shaken their trust in the academy's security.
Although no students were harmed, considering the strongest students of the academy didn't come out unscathed from that attack, they felt they would not get a chance to fight back if something like that attacks again.
