บท 146: Back to the Academy

-Zeref's POV-

A whole school year had passed by so quickly. I had missed half of it on missions, dungeons and training; my attendance was horrible. It was a new school year now. I now realised that life would just get harder every year and I'd have to be ready for whatever came my way.

Our year group stood in form lines outside, teachers taking attendance. Xanxus stood at the front of all the lines, waiting.

When they finished, all the teachers faced Xanxus.

"As some of you may know, this year is very special. You all have met the requirements of compulsory military training for the kingdom. As students of Xanxus academy, I expect you all to honour our school name and exceed with determination, innovation and confidence. I wish you all the best time at military training which will be starting in two days.
