"Alden, what are those books?" Neo asked, looking at the two books in Alden's hands.
"The second and third part of the dual-wielding manual," Alden replied.
"Ohh," Neo nodded. "Anyway, what happened with the researcher exam?" He asked, impatient to hear the answer.
Alden showed his wristwatch. It displayed his number of points. It displayed 11,386 points.
Neo's eyes widened in shock. "What happened?" He asked, a wide smile spreading on his face. "How did you acquire so many points?!"
Even Chloe was shocked to see so many points.
Alden reached into his pocket and took out his Researcher Badge.
"Catch," He tossed it to Neo.
Neo caught it.
"Whoa!" He exclaimed, happy for his friend. "This is a researcher badge. You passed."
Chloe and Owen gathered around Neo, curious about the researcher badge.
