Chapter 117: Chapter 115: A closing of the hunt

Dear Diary,

It's been a week since I arrived at the magic academy, and so far it's been a struggle. The other students are all so talented and dedicated to their studies, and I feel like I'm so far behind. I'm not sure if I'm cut out for this whole enchantress thing.

But the worst part is not being able to practice with my bow. I've had to hide it in a secret spot out in the forest, and it's driving me crazy not being able to use it. I know I'm taking a risk by keeping it hidden, especially with all the monsters that roam the forest outside of the city. But I can't bear the thought of giving up on my dream of becoming an archer. I try to practice in secret at night by shooting at the trees. So far, I haven’t encountered anything dangerous. I try to stay near the city walls; there are fewer monsters there.

During the day, I'm trying to focus on my magic studies, but it's hard when my heart isn't really in it. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. I'm starting to feel like I made a huge mistake coming here.

I just hope that somehow things will work out in the end. I don't know what the future holds, but I have to keep trying.

Sincerely,

Yours truly
