Chapter 2263: Advancement

Emery greeted each returning team and acolyte as they arrived back at the Academy. Despite the smiles on their faces, it was clear that they were utterly exhausted.

They had been working tirelessly on missions every single day, pushing themselves to the brink by relying on multiple pills and potions, often ignoring their injuries and health just to reach their goals.

There was a quiet, unspoken sense of satisfaction that passed among the acolytes, a recognition of their hard-earned achievements. Emery, along with Klea and Ahaka, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pride for what they had accomplished.

"Have a good rest; you've all earned it," Emery said, his voice filled with genuine care.

The advancement challenge was the next hurdle, but with two days of rest ahead, they had some time to recuperate. The challenge would also start with the lower halls, giving Hall 60, four days to prepare themselves.
