[: Daniel's POV :]
Well, it's been a month since I've enrolled in the Academy.
Every day passed by almost the same, lectures, training sessions, mana synchronization, theoretical magic, and endless chatter from Fendrick and Silvia.
All of it was a routine, predictable and peaceful, in a sense.
At least, as peaceful as life could be in a place filled with hundreds of students, swordsmen, and battle maniacs trying to prove their worth.
But on this particular day, something changed.
Scarlett, our instructor, clapped her hands, her crimson eyes glinting mischievously.
"Well, that's the end of today's lecture," she said, her tone as casual as ever.
"Before you all leave, let me remind you, there will be a 'Festival Hunt' or you first years at the end of this month"
"So prepare yourselves accordingly."
The room immediately erupted into murmurs.
A few gasps, some cheers, and the occasional "Wait, is that the monster hunt thing!?" from the back row.
