Back to the apprentices Irene went. They were the only ones she could spend time with lately and not feel like a fish out of water.
Luckily, that was just where Felix and the Commander wanted her, considering they were all needing to find ways to keep the knights and apprentices entertained. The city was still on lockdown, and no one was allowed to leave the magical barrier without good reason.
Mages from inside of the town would guide Irene and half the apprentices along the border each morning, and then she would take the other half around the border that evening. After a couple of days of this, the mage no longer needed to be with them since she had memorized the zone they couldn't cross.
All they were doing was making sure there were no monsters in the vicinity. If there were, they would send one of them to Josef's house, and the others would go to the Commander as they waited for the barrier to be brought back down. Then they would attack.
