The students of the academy had been puzzled when the headmistress of their Martial Academy had suddenly halted all their activities and summoned them to inform them that they would be carted off for some special training.
Much to their surprise, the Martial Academy didn't even tell them where they were going. After they stepped out of their carriages, they were assembled in a training field and told to await further instruction.
It was truly puzzling.
Normally, the Martial Academy was a lot more transparent with any and everything that they wanted the students to do. Thus, it was highly unusual for them to act in such a manner.
Many of them wanted to leave, yet they didn't even know where they were.
"Tsk, did they just bring us here to while away time?!"
"I'm sure they have something in mind."
"I wish they would tell us," another complained. "It's super boring doing nothing here!"
Eventually, however, something changed.
