The academy festival was alive with a contagious buzz. It was the third day of the academy festival, where outside people were also allowed to enter the academy. Of course, simply not every random person could enter there. They needed to pay for it.
Truly a capitalistic system it was.
However, this year's atmosphere of the festival was slightly different from last year's. If before, the academy had a rather unique and satisfying atmosphere, right now, a slight cloud was masking it.
Of course, the liveliness of the festival was still there, but a shadow was cast over it--darkness that slowly spread itself.
It was the fight over dominance that was started by god knows who.
'Wow, look at the spread dark mana.' Callius thought to himself while wandering around the academy grounds. 'Certainly, this is not normal.'
It was different from the mana he had observed. If before someone was aiming to attack, right now, it was a lot more sinister.
