Chapter 37 : Strange
After half an hour of travel, Van finally arrived at the Academy and got off the carriage with Arthur.
"Alright, Young Master. I’ll take my leave. May the [Gods] always be with you," the knight said and leaving the Academy.
"We’ve finally arrived," Arthur said with a smile. "It looks like everyone’s watching us."
Van looked around and indeed felt everyone’s eyes on him. They were clearly shocked by his arrival in a caravan carriage.

Van and Arthur passed through the crowd and walked toward the Academy’s residential area. The housing area in the Academy was divided into two parts: [Residences] and [Dormitories].
