Four Towers

Waiting outside patiently and nervously, were the lower-class students. It was a big day for them and for many of them, it would be there first time ever taking on or fighting against a beast.

They mostly lived sheltered lives in their homes and even in Roland, they were away from the threat of the shadow plague.

So unless a student had decided to actively go hunting before they had come to the academy, it was unlikely that they would have a met a beast before.

The only students that weren't nervous like everyone else were the upper class who stood off to one side.

That's when one of the younger teachers, teacher Flynn had arrived to talk to them.

"Okay, you four listen carefully." Flynn said, "although you are all upper-class students you are not to act unless a student's life is in danger. If you can, you are to accompany me or any of the other professors at all times. Do you guys understand?"

"Yes sir." The students responded.
