News about the Night Forest and the Star Moon Alliance was spreading like wildfire. With only thirteen official academies on the Moon Pincer Peninsula, the sudden obliteration of one was an upheaval that had not occurred in a millennium.

Since the news arrived at Mongna Ant Land Cottage, there was a noticeable stir among the people, with some feeling anxious, others delighting in the misfortune, and still others seeing an opportunity in the chaos.

"It's gratifying, truly gratifying,"

said the chief steward, Christian, to a few trusted members of the Hunting Team, making no effort to hide his schadenfreude.

In his view, institutions like the Night Forest and Mongna Ant Land Cottage had long become tools for sorcerer great families to profit from. Such academies need to be broken down and rebuilt to eradicate the deep-seated decay and be reborn full of vigor.
