The path to guardianship is fraught with peril, but the greatest danger might be failing to learn from the past.

Each day is a battle for the trainee guardians at Heaven's Peak—a test of skill, a forging of spirits.

Once, the thrill of combat was exhilarating; now, after a year, it has become their new normal.

Ike and his comrades are torn between the comfort of their celestial training ground and the yearning to return to Earth to claim their destinies as protectors. With the Engineer's silence echoing in their ears, uncertainty breeds tension within their ranks.

Amidst the rising discord, Ada discovers a loophole—an ancient rite promising a swift graduation and a return to Earth, but it's an all-or-nothing gambit that demands unity.

As the group stands divided, the rite looms like a shadow, its secrets veiled and its consequences unknown. What test awaits them? What forgotten chapter of history will they relive?
