Adaptive Blade Style

A week passed in the blink of an eye for Damian and his friends.

Clay had already returned to the Royal Academy and was interrogated about what had occurred and where the other royal academy students and mercenaries were.

He feigned ignorance of most of what had occurred and even if he knew or was partly responsible for their disappearance, Clay was more valuable to the academy than all of them combined.

However, what he did say was that he saw the mercenary group leader who was crazy flee the scene with blood all over him and it was concluded by the Royal Academy that the mercenary had gone rogue and was responsible for all the deaths.

After that, the tension between the Royal Academy and Akegria Academy eased slightly and Damian's name was cleared, since the mercenary group leader had taken all the blame and was in no position to prove otherwise.
