In the Tin Saint School, a First Rank Wizard is required to complete four compulsory tasks every year.
On average, that's one task per quarter.
However, this does not mean that a Wizard needs to complete a compulsory task every quarter, but rather a total of four throughout the year.
In practice, the School usually does assign a compulsory task every quarter, but this is only the norm...
Wizards can apply to start early and finish the four compulsory tasks for the year ahead of time.
But once assigned, except under special circumstances, they cannot be postponed.
On the afternoon of February 1st, Colin returned to Neustadt City, covered in dust and dirt.
He did not go home, but went straight to the General Affairs Castle of the School.
"Lord Colin, we meet again." It was the duty wizard he had seen in January, his expression somewhat strange, a mix of confusion and sympathy.
