A week of restlessness and anxiety finally passed away, letting everyone heave in relief.
The long arduous journey of giving written exams was finally over. The students were given a week to choose the mission and prepare themselves mentally.
Since Lucas had already registered for the mission, he decided to prepare some things to deal with unexpected situations.
Slouching onto his chair again, Lucas prayed to hear the faraway cathedral's bells chime that continued seven times and then picked a small orb.
James poured two cups of tea. Taking one, he passed the other one to Lucas who seemed too engrossed in studying the small round orb.
"James, tell me."
"Are you sure this thing wouldn't go off if I hold it carelessly?"
James sensed a warning in Lucas's tone.
'Tsk...'
