Because of the duel, most of the classes scheduled after it were postponed and rescheduled for later in the day, after lunch.
It was not even noon yet, but the Eclipse grounds were already as lively as ever.
With more than five hundred departments spread across different fields, Eclipse never truly stopped.
Every department followed its own schedule. While one class was delayed, another had already started.
Guest lecturers were common as well. Weapon masters, researchers, and specialists like Sir Tyler were invited every year to handle classes regular faculty could not.
Naturally, the institute invested heavily in Class A and Class S.
Those classes were not chosen at random. They represented students with the highest probability of producing tangible results. Eclipse was not an academy built on ideals alone. It was an institution that demanded returns.
That did not mean the lower-ranked classes were ignored.
The truth was simpler than most people liked to admit.
