It was extremely bright due to the day being in the afternoon where the sun made the land warmer.

Dean swore that the time he read the [Battle Intent Manual] was during the evening meaning at the earliest time, he would have slept through the night and morning.

But this brings the anxious fact that what seemed like only a few minutes in that nightmare were days or even weeks.

He wasn't able to keep track of the time meaning that his time for prep could already be over.

His heart was currently filled with panic as he chewed on some rations to appease the hunger and growling stomach.

If he didn't hurry to go back to the academy then he will miss his chance to follow the two teachers and learn who... murdered Leonard.

But he already knew that the person who murdered Leonard was called the Wandering Demonic Poison King.

So why does he need to go to the academy?

A tide of emotions overtook Dean as he was thrown into confusion at such an irrational idea to still persist and do something even though there was no point.

The only excuses that Dean thought up of was that he could learn from the two teachers and hopefully, in a very lucky case, meet the Wander Demonic Poison King during a mission.

If he was as fearful as Christian described then Alexander who was skilled with manipulating the wind should be useful.

Dean nodded to the sudden idea but cold sweat couldn't help but be exuded from his head.

He didn't know why he felt fear, but it felt like a dagger slowly chipping away his ability to do things.

Such a reaction was unusual. Dean instead ignored it and placed the blame as the aftereffects of the nightmare he experienced.

Calculating the time it would take to the academy, it would take the remaining time of today and the time of tomorrow.

Sighing at his misfortune, Dean still treaded towards the academy.

The gates were still not handled properly as there was no guard, allowing Dean to discreetly enter the academy without a problem.

No one threw him a glance despite his dirty clothing making Dean surprised at how lax the security was and only now realized such a flaw

But the main thing he noticed within the school was a much darker mood than usual.

There was no time to waste on the other students so Dean instead rushed towards the same office the two teachers owned.

He passed through the lobby without any questions asked which also made Dean filled with suspicion but he guessed that some sort of accident happened in this school.

”Oh, boy you're back at school?”
