Serena's POV:
"Really, Lyra? Waaah... Naoki... he's changed so much." I was stunned by the story Lyra was telling me.
She spoke softly, but I could tell how happy she was as she shared everything that had happened between her and Naoki after I left for the battlefield.
Lyra explained that after their midterms ended, their class took a study trip to the Royal Solara Magic Academy—a surprising event, as it was the first time Braveheart Knight Academy had ever done something like that.
She said she was grouped with Naoki and the others. There, they learned a lot about magic and were even assigned a group project to research ancient Grimoires. That led them to explore the magic academy's vast and famous library.
They also met a new friend who served as their guide. However, not all of the Solara students welcomed them warmly. Some mocked and harassed Lyra and her female friends.
