Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The Hope Guild (1)

"Good work out there, Riley."

"Thank you, Scarlet Mage."

A trembling hum gently roared through the air as USMA's colossal gates once again slowly blocked its view of the outside world.

Riley closed his eyes as soon as he stepped back inside the Academy, allowing Scarlet Mage to gently wipe his face even though there really was no need to-- as no sweat or dirt could even be found resting on his skin.

The other members of the Police Force were also expecting someone to assist them after a long day of hard work. But forget someone wiping their sweat and tears, there wasn't even anyone there to give them a towel.

They have been trying to clean up the last remaining clutter from the accident outside the perimeter of the Academy… yet not even a single person waited for them inside to welcome them back in. The only thing they could do was grit their teeth as they watched Riley being pampered by one of the hottest instructors in the Academy.
