In the early morning, before the sun had risen.
Guan Tong stepped out of the dormitory assigned to him by the academy, locked the door, and hung the key on the doorknob.
He hadn't stayed in this dorm much over the past few months. Most of the time, he used Body Shifting to return to his own shelter, so the interior was almost unchanged and didn't require any tidying up.
After leaving the dormitory building, he walked along the path in the morning quiet until he reached the academy's main gate. The guard on duty from the academy's security office saw him and said, "Mr. Guan, are you leaving today?"
The news that Guan Tong would be leaving the academy after Shi Jingyi's return had spread long ago, so the security staff naturally knew about it.
Moreover, they felt a bit awkward facing Guan Tong. The soldier said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Guan. You're about to leave, and we still haven't managed to catch the culprit."
