Hi Principals! We are back with another exciting update for you. [h1]Latest Update Ver 0.8.0.0[/h1] Things are getting a little hotter in Valthiria—all thanks to a recently discovered Hidden Dungeon. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40306402/c4d7e98ad4e57b2b80787609ac506675e40b5c46.png[/img] With glassy obsidian, rough pumice, and molten lava all around, this hidden dungeon might be too hot to handle, except for the future heroes from the Academy. Just remind your students: “don’t play with fire”! With the discovery of the fiery dungeon, it became clearer that Valthiria is not entirely free of danger. Monsters show up now and then, deterring the residents of Valthiria from solo travel.

With students as bodyguard-slash-companion, travelers could be safe from various monsters that lurks in the forest. And maybe from a loneliness, too. No judgement. Be careful though, as every traveler will take a space on your team. Some might be able to help in fight, while some can’t. It’s part of the mission: fighting with less attack power and more possible casualties! Can your students handle the challenge?
