Over the next month:

Neighsay was given summaries of the lessons taught at the school, by each teacher individually. He visited where the different races lived, and made massive relationships with the leaders. His comrades were with him during this period. Thorax was skeptical in the beginning, but Neighsay soon gained trust from him. He was impressed that Starlight was the one who helped them turn against Queen Chrysalis, and that Thorax, and Starlight had earned medals for doing so, along with two others that were involved. 

"It was quite an honor to release the changelings from her reign, and I earned an Equestrian Pink-Heart of Courage", said Thorax as he showed the medal to Neighsay.

"That is impressive, I have never seen that medal before", Neighsay replied.

Dragon Lord Ember explained that Twilight hatched Spike from his egg, as her entrance exam to Celestia's school of magic, and she was friends with him. Neighsay then understood why Spike was still with Twilight when he got after her.

At Griffonstone, it was tricky for Neighsay to earn their trust, because many of them were not kind to him, but he succeeded after a while.

Seaquestria was another story. He had to transform into a seapony, and go underwater, but at least he gained trust from their queen.

After coming to the surface, he went to the leader on Mount Aris, and got their trust.

In Yakyakistan, his ears were ringing when Prince Rutherford yelled the way he always did, but he gained trust, and was able to return to Twilight.

Upon returning, he told Twilight that he was successful with gaining trust from all of the leaders, and that it was not easy. Twilight understood what he meant, and that it was not easy to establish a good conversation in Griffonstone, nor Yakyakistan.
