The next morning, all the students gathered inside the Hall of Damian, the place where academy assemblies were usually held.
The hall was enormous, easily capable of accommodating hundreds of students at once. Rows upon rows of seats filled the interior, with students arranged according to their respective years.
The first-years sat at the leftmost, followed by the second-years, third-years, and finally the fourth-years at the rightmost.
Right now, the hall was filled with chatter as students talked among themselves while waiting for the assembly to begin.
At the front stage, most of the Grandmasters and Vice-Grandmasters were already present, seated in their designated chairs.
Oliver stretched his neck slightly and looked around. However, he could not find Grandmaster Irmelia anywhere as her seat was empty.
Even more surprising, the Headmaster's seat was also vacant. Oliver had been curious about the Headmaster ever since arriving at the academy.
