A big commotion occurred in the academy.
It was the period after the final examinations of the courses, normally most of the students would return to their families or engage in long missions at that time.
However, all the students chose to delay their plans due to an unexpected event.
Vance, the recluse student that showed his face only during the lessons but that also broke Daniel's record, challenged Manuel Gousho, the current holder of the title of the strongest student in the academy.
The Gousho family was a large-size noble family affiliated with the Udye one.
Daniel and Manuel had a friendly relationship but, due to their age gap, their level had always been quite far away, never allowing a proper confrontation between them.
After Daniel left, Manuel had taken his position as the leader of the new generation, obtaining respect and reverence from his peers.
Manuel was a man nearing twenty years of age.
