Glancing around, Clark found that he had been unlucky enough to end up in the very group he did not desire to be in. His classmates were Maira, Ralph, and another boy who seemed to already be under the influence of the Cain family.
Ralph had been punished by having to carry an additional backpack full of food and water. The added weight was enough to slow him down and make the entire trip harder. But it was a fitting punishment for not following what he had been told. He also matched a few other students that had failed to sneakily gather information.
The lesson had not only been to sharpen the way the students gathered information. It had also been a good way for them to learn that asking about certain things came with consequences. Nova academy would not fail to teach their students the value that came with teaching their students that the world was not always a positive and open place.
"Clark…?"
