One day had passed.
But it felt longer. Alden had returned to his previous self.
He decided to move on from the incident at Lustra.
If it was him from before, it would have taken at least a few days for him to accept it.
But no more.
The academy was quiet in the meantime.
The announcement had been made early in the morning.
Astralis Academy would be closed for two weeks.
The official reason: "an internal investigation about the attack at ancient ruins".
In reality, they were just trying to find scapegoats to avoid public mistrust and protest.
It was all politics at play.
Important people didn't actually care about the lives of weak students.
No.
They were more interested in Jeremy.
It was the perfect time for the great families to try and pressure Jeremy.
Not that it's going to happen.
Jeremy wasn't an Overlord for no reason.
Even the emperor had to think twice before speaking ill about him.
Honestly, Alden couldn't be bothered to care about any of that.
