Going Out Into the World
The day of the graduation ceremony was particularly cold.
Dull, heavy snow clouds were hanging in the sky, and it looked as if it would start raining at any moment.
The third month of autumn was almost over. Soon, winter would come.
In the auditorium, students from both the knight and civil administration departments were gathered together.
The civil administration students held their school caps, while the knight students held their swords in front of their bodies.
There weren’t many long ceremonial speeches, and only the dean of the academy, who had a weak presence, made a greeting. The content was quite unsubstantial, such as a bright future ahead of you or spreading your wings and leaving the nest, and Sheila didn’t remember much of it.
After the greetings, the teachers lined up in front of each student in the civil administration department and put their school caps on the heads of the students who had bent down a little. Sheila was surprised to see so many teachers, including Clauschezade and Jornwerner.
Next, the students of the knight department put their swords back into their sheaths in a ceremonious movement. That seemed to signal the end of the ceremony.
‘Somehow, it’s simpler than I thought.’
