「Over a month later.」
Colin, fully armored and carrying a backpack, expertly navigated the corridors of the Black Tower in search of his classroom.
He was likely the only person in the entire Black Tower who walked the halls in a full suit of Armor, but Colin paid no mind to the stares. After all, going about his daily life fully kitted out was part of his training for Casting in Armor.
After passing through a few long corridors, Colin arrived at the door to his class for the day and pushed his way inside.
He usually arrived a few minutes early, so the classroom was still mostly empty.
As an auditor, Colin could only sit in the corner.
The view wasn't the best from there, but it wouldn't be a problem. He could listen to the lecture just fine.
A short while after Colin got his paper and pen ready, the classroom door was pushed open. A stream of familiar faces filed in—it was the group of students from his last practical training class.
