The academy had recently been drowning in overwhelming chaos.
It was as if the place had turned into an open battlefield, devoid of any laws.
Students attacked one another everywhere, unable to distinguish between a corridor and a room, until nearly every corner became a permanent stage for conflict.
There was no longer any peace to be found. While some set up carefully crafted traps in secret, violent clashes erupted in the bathrooms, dorm rooms, and even the open gardens.
Even the training hall was not spared; every section of it witnessed repeated confrontations that ended only to begin again.
The only place that remained untouched by the fighting was the cafeteria, where the administration imposed a strict ban on combat, supposedly to ensure students' safety while eating.
But it wasn't really for the students' safety in particular—it was simply so the cafeteria itself wouldn't be reduced to rubble.
The injuries were severe.
