August 31st was a bright, sunny day. The start of the school year brought a bustling energy to the otherwise quiet little town, making it feel lively and crowded.
Although Tollan Town was small, its administrative functions were comparable to those of a county seat. It had only one high school, which boasted a miraculously high college matriculation rate and a large student body. A single grade level could have as many as twelve classes, with sixty to seventy students in each!
While the newly enrolled freshmen were full of excitement, the sophomores wore looks of misery, lamenting how summer vacation had vanished in the blink of an eye. The seniors, meanwhile, were filled with a sense of tension, anxiety, and urgency.
