บท 208: End of a Semester Interlude

[Heavenly hall]

[Student council office]

"So, what will you do now that the semester's coming to a close?"

"For the most part, I'll have to head back home. My family's waiting,"

"Hmm..."

Three days had passed in a blur since the grand festival, and now the academy was preparing for the winter break.

Snow's office, usually buzzing with activity, was eerily quiet.

The semester winding down meant the council members had already been dismissed earlier than usual.

No doubt Snow had sent them off after making sure every last bit of work was meticulously handled by her.

"Aren't you pushing yourself a little too hard?"

As someone who had served on the student council before, I knew firsthand just how exhausting the workload could be.

Even reading through a single stack of reports could feel like an uphill battle some days.

Snow paused, lifting her head to meet my eyes.
