Eight months later
Eight months passed away in a blink of an eye. Nothing changed in Azzy's life.
Oakley and his family were still missing. Gideon is still unchanged, being his best friend. The students continued to stay away from him. Previously it was out of fear to Leonard.
Now, it is due to his cold attitude towards anyone that approaches him, although this made him a bit more popular among girls.
Because of the school regulations, the students weren't allowed to take a trip to the level-3 region in the world of Arcana.
On top of that, as his master, the principal focused on improving his lack of control over his soul energy, Azzy wasn't taken to a private trip either. So, his soul/Arcana rank improved slowly.
The only thing that's different is the behavior of the Galarian beast. In the disguise of Leo, it always tried to befriend Azzy no matter how many times he ignored him.
Rumors began to circulate all over the academy.
