Grand Amatas Academy

It was now the very middle of winter and in a few days would be the well looked forward to winter holiday. Richard had told Daedalus a few days prior that this holiday was actually very similar to one on earth called Christmas. Daedalus found it interesting and decided to add some of the Christmas holiday themes to the palace that year, mainly for Richard.

A few days before the winter holiday occured Daedalus announced to the empire that he would be at the academy teaching for one day. This was in the eyes of most citizens a wonderful gift as their children would likely learn a lot.

With three days left before the winter holiday Daedalus arrived early at the academy with the twins and Richard. Daedalus originally didn't plan to bring them with, however after much insistence Daedalus could only except these helpers. And so Daedalus walked into the academy.

As it was so early in the morning Daedalus and the other three didn't see anyone else on their way in. They weren't even stopped by guards this, however was because the security was already extremely tight even without guards. So after a while they reached the doors connecting to the deans office.

Daedalus of course didn't bother with knocking and simply walked in. The Dean on the opposite side of the room saw him immediately and stood up to bow. Daedalus however motioned him not to bother, they had long known eachother and though they weren't extremely close Daedalus didn't feel he needed to bow.

Eventually, all of them sat down on a comfy chair each and began talking about what Daedalus would be teaching today, "I think it would be best if I guided the students on cultivation. If I'm not wrong, you should be teaching each of them one or two of the Grand Amatas Foundational Techniques?" the Dean immediately nodded and said, "Yes we are, however not many can perform the movement technique, though they do still practice it." Daedalus smiled at this and nodded approvingly.

Then Daedalus relaxed a bit more and said, "So, Dihar, how has life been?" Dihar realising that he didn't need to be as formal anymore smiled and said, "Well I have been enjoying my role as the Dean here at the Grand Amatas Academy, and in terms of personal life, I recently got married." Daedalus smiled before happily congratulating Dihar and looking at the time.

As he looked at the time Daedalus quickly stood up while saying "well the class will be starting soon, I better get down there!" Dihar also looked at the time and sighed before saying "And I need to do some paperwork." The children who had been silent this entire time then burst out into laughter before running after Daedalus, leaving a grinning Dihar.

As he left Daedalus looked back to see the three children chasing him. So he slowed down and waited for them to catch up before walking through the crowds of students, towards the classroom he would be using today.
