In the days leading up to the Royal Academy First Semester Ending Ball Party at the Palace, the Ashenlocke Estate remained peaceful.
Ezra's days passed without much trouble.
He continued with his usual activities, though there was one place he visited more often than others.
The Ashcraft Research and Development Facility.
Together with Vera and Elder Ivanhoe, he regularly visited the facility to inspect the progress of their work and discuss the development of their firearms and equipment.
Whenever the two young Alchemists arrived, familiar faces greeted them.
The researchers and craftsmen were always cheerful to see them, and some would approach them as soon as they entered the building.
There was always something to discuss.
For Ezra, much of his time was spent with the Alchemy Circle Conversion team, where they examined the Gun Alchemy Circle he had created for the AK-12.
The team had already made improvements to the design.
