The day of the final ceremony of the Grand First-Year Combat Festival ended like any other day.
After the ceremony, many noble and Non-Noble families spent the remaining time they had with their children around the Royal Academy. Some went out to eat, while others gathered at restaurants and public places to discuss the festival and the newly released ranking list.
Their conversations often returned to the same things.
Their children's performances.
The students who had ranked above them.
And the results they hoped to achieve during the next semester.
Some parents had already begun advising their children on how to improve their Alchemy abilities, while others discussed the fellow students their children should try to get closer to. After all, the Royal Academy was not simply a place where young people came to learn Alchemy.
To many parents, it was also a place where their children could build connections with the future leaders of the Kingdom.
