[At The Academy Entrance Gates]

The guards stood at full attention, gazes wandering around for any strangeness.

Some were taking rounds around the gate as well.

It was a hot and humid day yet they did their duty with utmost sincerity.

That was how much they loved and respected the academy.

"I really wonder when the headmaster will be back from his expedition." A guard standing before the gates spoke to the guard next to him.

The second guard sighed.

"We can't say anything, the headmaster has not been back for 2 years. He's on a dangerous expedition that's all we know. All we can do in turn is protect this place with our full capacity to return our favor."

The first guard nodded with exuberance.

"Yeah! We shoul-" The guard's voice was cut off as a deep, old voice resounded in his ears.

"You guys missing me already?"
