---------------------------


The following day all the students from different royal schools had already gone back from their campuses. The next time Kan and the others would meet will be on the Foundation Festival. Although the First Trial comes earlier which is two weeks from now. Trailing along the lines of events from the past three months it would later be considered a turning point for the Tempest Royal School.

Taking a glance through the office windows, piles and piles of paper works are still lying-in wait. Interrupted from the attack of Vanque, the time it would take to complete the filing of information about the plans for the Foundation Festival is being assessed.

"We're going to have to inform the Royal Schools that the scheduled plans will take a bit more time. Next, the budget for the reconstruction of building needs to be processed and reread everything to ensure there are no mistakes. Afterwards, gather all the paper works of the squads for their nominees for the First Trial. Lastly, relay the message to the principal that one of the alumni's is coming, apparently it's a big shot." Inspecting the tasks given, Inerva made sure everything can be done in a day.

"I'll take care of it, Inerva-san" A polite response comes from a 2nd year student.

"I'll be counting on you, Milan. By the way, are you sure you want to help me during your off-days?"

"I don't have anything that much to do and to be able to serve under you is a great experience and honor." Such high remarks came from the 2nd year student Milan.

"If you have something you want for a favor, just ask already." Intent on the idea that Milan would have some motives for helping Inerva, she pressed the matter strongly.

"Well, even if I say I don't have one, you will just persistently convince me so." Giving a clear look at the room there were only paper works lingering around. "Then, how about you give me a task in exchange?"

"Look, that's not how it works. You ask something for me that I can help you with."

"And that's what I want you to help me, help me find a task."

"Haah... fine when you come back, I'll help you find a task in the meantime do what I told you." Inerva thought, there's no winning the argument and eventually gave up.

Milan carried the necessary files and closed the door leaving the exhausted Secretary. Fixing her posture and sitting upright as a knock on the door was heard after a while.

"You may come in." Dreading if it was another matter to be dealt with, Inerva took a deep breath.

"Excuse us..."

"Oh, it's you guys." It was Kan, Shinra, and Mika.

"Sorry for coming so suddenly, I hope you're not busy at all...?" Kan's voice faded as soon as the mountain of files stacked bombarded their vision.

"Y-yeah..." Inerva stood up clearing away the paper works to make some space for the 1st year students. The 1st years helped after seeing the catastrophe.

"Sorry for making you help, but what is your reason for coming here?" Inerva made clear that she cannot entertain them for a long time due to the amount of work piled.

"Oh, first of all thank you Inerva-san for helping us yesterday. We wanted to say if you could help us relay the message to Tania-sensei and Principal Cainne that we do not want to burden them by teaching us." Kan explained further in a low tone.

Inerva thought that they don't want to involve the old farts in their training because of the state Tempest is in the moment.

"Don't worry about it, the reason for them wanting to train you is that they find that you have potential. So, don't think about it being burdensome for them."
