After the brutal events of the day, the Central Academy students did not scatter to celebrate like the rest of the participants and guests. Normally, after an event, they would return to their dorms, or slip away to one of the academy's private training facilities—places that only they had the privilege of accessing. While other academies feasted, mingled, or enjoyed the nightly festival, Central's students would push themselves harder. They would spar, study, and train until exhaustion.
Enjoyment was for the lesser. At least, that was the belief they had been taught.
But now… things were different.
