To enter the Riplanica Republic, Elena with her selected students and Azure Legion adventurer group went to the northern border of the Myrilia Kingdom. From there they crossed the border in the domain of Margrave Cornelius and went toward the Riplanica Higher Institution.
Unlike the Royal Academy, the Riplanica Higher Institution was situated in a completely different domain far away from the capital. The distance between the border where Elena's group entered the country and the location of the institution was quite long. So Elena left the country about 10 days before the start of the expedition, on the 10th of the Tyr month.
