In the Ascendance Academy of Midgard, combat instructors held the same prestige as professors of other departments. Arrichion's presence there was both strange and remarkable. He had only returned to Midgard a few years earlier, after being gravely wounded in battle on Molgrath. The healers who saved him had prescribed ten years of rehabilitation before he could rejoin the frontlines. Restless and unwilling to waste time, he had accepted a post at the Academy. Though his cultivation was suppressed by Midgard's thin energy, his skill remained unmatched.
