After a week of recuperating, every student, from Freshman to Senior, gathered in the morning, all seated in the grand hall.
Hundreds of them chatted as Sebastian mounted the podium and the microphones hummed.
"Where's Godfrey?" Percival whispered to Isaac when he found Godfrey's seat empty.
"He left earlier than usual. I thought he'd be with Isolde," Isaac replied.
"Today, I will be announcing the best student of the year. This honour isn't for being the best academically, or for having the best summon, neither is it because he's the best summoner, but this honour is for erasing the red gate dungeon."
'The headmaster wasn't the one that erased the gate!' Isolde gasped in shock, an expression shared by every student in the hall except Isaac.
Isaac rose to his feet as the doors behind them opened, revealing Godfrey, smartly dressed in his uniform. He pulled his hands out of his pockets and walked into the hall as Isaac slowly clapped.
"Him?!" Damien's eyes widened.
