It took the acolytes a total of three days to travel to Andora using the transport vessel – designated Deliverance. The recovery vessel – designated Hope they aboard, however, had slower speed, hence it would take them five days to come back to the academy.
Not only that, Hope also had smaller and fewer rooms as well as minimal facilities compared to other types of vessels, because most of its space was used for various equipment, instruments, and supplies needed by its medical center.
Though their return journey would take longer, there was no voice of dissent. After all, all of these acolytes had gone through such a grueling 10 day mission of constant fighting. Even though their wounds had healed, they still needed rest to recover from their immense exhaustion.
Hence no one really complains about the length of the return journey.
