About a week had passed since the trip, yet news of what happened spread through the academy like wildfire—far faster than we ever expected.
It reached the point where almost everyone knew something had occurred, and yet the full truth was never revealed.
The academy merely announced that we had fallen into an ambush by the Atran Organization, without mentioning any real details of what actually happened.
The news itself wasn't that shocking. Tragic incidents had always taken place at the academy, so the students limited themselves to curiosity and questions about what had happened there.
None of us, however, were able to tell them anything, as the academy forced us to remain silent.
I was currently sitting in the middle of the classroom, staring straight ahead, completely lost in my thoughts…
I had believed that since I didn't directly participate in the main storyline, nothing would change in the future.
