บท 2279: Academic Year

As the new academic year began in earnest, Emery, Klea, and Ashaka returned to their rigorous routine. Each of them dedicated one day a week to their specialized lessons.

Emery focused on Dao techniques, including swordsmanship and movement steps; Klea specialized in spell casting; and Ashaka led meditation sessions, with a new emphasis on strengthening mental defenses.

With a full roster of 50 acolytes, all three instructors needed to extend their hours each day.

Fortunately, the senior acolytes, already accustomed to the training regimen, were available to assist. They guided the new recruits, providing valuable support and ensuring a smooth integration into the rigorous schedule.

As in previous years, the initial weeks were dedicated to thorough evaluations.

These assessments were designed to understand each acolyte's physical attributes and inherent talents.
