57 Chapter 56 - Investigations and Assassinations(Part 1)

It was the 25th of December...which doesn't actually mean anything since Christmas doesn't exist in this world. 

Exams were over, and we'd be getting our results at the end of the month, after which our second year will begin sometime in the middle of January next year. A lot had happened in the past year, and it felt like it had gone by so quickl- actually that's not true at all. Between the Brawl of Glory, the Goldway Quest and the Rewind and Shuffle incidents, this year had felt like it had been going on forever. 

The 2nd of December had been Persia's birthday, we hadn't been able to do anything major since exams and whatnot, but I had found the time to sneak away from studying to get her a present, settling on a pair of black earrings, which appeared to have the same type of black gem as the necklace I got her in Goldway did. 

I also gave her a copy of my apartment's key, because these days she tended to spend more time here than in her own house.
