Now that we were back at the Palace, we were free to do whatever we pleased until we were given another mission or task to complete, which would be soon again probably considering how active this Cult was, as well as the fact that we had a few places to check out for other types of materials as well if we wanted to.
Then there was the chance that we returned to the Academy to continue our studies, though that might not be the case if we have to constantly be traveling to take care of issues... though we weren't required to do anything in actuality, if we didn't think we needed to gain practical experience.
I think we were all mixed on if we wanted to go back now; it was currently a tempting offer to remain in the Academy and study, but if we were going to be consistently missing multiple classes each month to the point that our overall grades would drop, we wouldn't be in for that long.
