Scratch all of the plans.
Apparently, there's an even bigger crisis to deal with.
Quarterly exams.
Yep, exams. Right up there with food shortages, the Orc King, the expo, and well, corruption—now they had to survive finals.
And this horrifying news came from none other than Theo, who returned from the Academy looking like he'd sprinted through a tornado.
See, unlike the rest of them, Theo had actually chosen to attend his classes when possible.
Not because he absolutely enjoyed them, but because, unlike everyone else who would receive better training by following the Duchess and training in the hall, Theo still needed to obtain a license after graduation.
And while he could seriously learn from the training hall, he'd likely fail the Academy and licensure exams if all he knew were concoctions that sounded like a myth to the people of today.
He could train with legends, yes.
