Fifth Year
The marks from the post-battle were still fresh against the fifth year student as she rushed down the steps of the Undercroft and felt the heavy lump in her throat fight for its life.
The defeat of Ranrok and the loss of Eleazar Fig took a heavy toll on Y/n Y/l/n.

"No? I'm coming from the Map Chamber. I closed the Repository minutes ago. I-I just-" Y/n took a breath, realizing her health was low from the post-battle, "Sebastian said to see him here after-"
