It was finally the end of the day—our first official day stepping into our third year at the academy.
Honestly, being back here again had this weird mix of emotions. On one hand, it was fun—the halls felt familiar, the sight of uniforms and the chatter of students bouncing around the corridors made it feel like we had never left. But at the same time, it was exhausting. Even though it was only the first day, it was like we had been thrown straight back into routine without warning. Classes started, instructors lectured, and we were already being told to take notes and look into assignments. Honestly, it felt like we hadn't gone on a break at all, like spring break was just an illusion and life inside the academy never stopped. But I guess that's just the kind of place this was—no matter how much time passed, the grind stayed the same.
