User blog comment:TheNewProtagonist/Episode *8 Review: Well that's ONE way to end an arc./@comment-7472785-20130906095013/@comment-10390252-20130906095255

I think that the answer is 'both' - We'll see a bit of how the Academy works as a place of learning and training. However, I think we'll also see the threat of Roman and his gang of mercenaries growing in the background.

I now expect a Volume 1 cliff-hanger - possibly Roman's boys attacking the academy for some reason.
