It took three days to reach Duskmist City from the academy. It was almost dusk when they reached the Duskmist City.
The convoy was attacked by monsters every once in a while, but the guards assigned to the convoy took care of them, as they were powerful than an average second-year student, which was the main cause of their delay.
The good thing was that the academy anticipated this, and they set out a few days before they were expected to arrive. It was not just this convoy, but every convoy that took second-year students to their assigned city or town, that started earlier than required for their arrival.
So there was no delay in their arrival. The group arrived a day before their original arrival date. So, the group has an extra day to spend getting to know Duskmist City before they have to start their work.

When Aaron first heard about the city's name, he wondered why it was called Duskmist City. Every City's name has a reason for its naming.
