{Monday, July 18.}
Today is the first day of school for new students at the Military Academy. They have gathered in front of the gates of their dormitory, waiting for the guard to open it. However, there are two peculiarities that can be seen in this situation.
The first anomaly is that the sun has not yet risen. Usually, new students would be excited on their first day of school, especially if they attend the Military Academy, an ideal institution for someone who wants to become a mage. However, the sun is still an hour or two away from rising.
The cold night wind still lingers around them, and dewdrops have yet to form. They should still be in their dormitory, taking a shower or having breakfast. Nevertheless, all new A-class students are standing in front of the dormitory gate, fully dressed.
