North Academy

At the start of the year, you traveled to the capital, and upon arrival, you were settled into the academy's dormitory. After being handed your key, you made your way to your new room. The following day was dedicated to finding your respective year and course.

Approaching the main entrance, you learned that all students were required to report to the assembly hall. The administrator pointed the way and departed. A few minutes later, after entering the hall, you found an empty seat. About ten minutes passed before a man in a formal suit stepped onto the stage and began an opening speech, welcoming all the first-year students.

Once the ceremony concluded, group supervisors stood at various points throughout the hall, holding signs displaying the names of the different courses. You needed to find yours. As you were scanning the room, a man who looked to be about fifty years old unexpectedly approached you:

— Hey, what are you doing standing there, counting crows? Which year are you?
