   Summary

   A month after the Promised Day’s anniversary, Ed receives a letter from Central University, only to find out his application was rejected…due to him not receiving any sort of proof of education. Thankfully, General Mustang is able to pull a few strings and get him enrolled into high school so he can receive his diploma and attend college, much to Ed’s dismay.
   In all this uncertainty, one thing is certain: high school’s not ready to deal with Edward Elric.
