The closing bell rang throughout the Royal Academy, marking the end of another day of lessons and self-study session.
Classroom doors opened one after another as students gathered their belongings and left the buildings.
Some headed towards the academy gates, while others made their way to the residence wings, accompanied by their servants or fellow students.
The paths gradually filled with students in academy uniforms.
Conversations travelled from one group to another, mixing with the sound of footsteps and the occasional call from a servant waiting for their young master or mistress.
Near the academy grounds, the Royal Phantom Rolls remained parked where Ezra had left it.
Its polished exterior attracted more than a few glances.
Although the vehicle was no longer an unfamiliar sight to those who had followed Ezra's activities, that did little to reduce the attention it received.
