Zeke had completed the mission in the fourth month.
In the fifth month, he dedicated most of his time to his students. They had passed the reading phase and the practice phase. Now, he scheduled dungeon raids. They had enjoyed the comfort of the Crucible for long enough. Most of the time, he left them to his echo body.
One day in the fifth month — one of the days he trained his students with his main body — they went to an S-ranked dungeon. Dean had bought the right to solo the boss. The students and Zeke teased Dean as he rested on Sam and Kenshin while they carried him out.
Then Zeke sensed a burst of aura. A familiar aura, though he could not pinpoint it as it died down immediately. The aura was not his concern at the time, but he had sensed another aura accompanied by a refreshing scent. Both the aura and the scent died down within seconds. But Zeke could tell it had come from the academy.
