During the beginning of the third week…
The first-year academy district had become noticeably quieter, with most of the first-years now going through their own preparations for the coming Grand First-Year Combat Festival.
As already mentioned, many students had entered seclusion, while others were spending their time in private training rooms, pushing themselves through whatever method they believed would give them the best chance of standing out once the festival began.
However, now that it was Monday of the third week, the situation had slowly begun to change.
Many students had already completed the preparations they had planned for themselves.
Some were resting inside their residences, allowing their bodies to recover after weeks of training, while others were spending what remained of the month with their friends, relaxing before the time finally came for them to step onto the same arena and become enemies.
Snow continued falling over the academy.
