While heading down the hallway connecting the academy yard with the dormitory, Alden remained quiet. Deep down, he was worried. Worried about what he would tell Linda.
In no time, they entered the academy yards. They entered the academy, and with an elevator, they went up to the tenth floor.
Under Neo's lead, the four entered the classroom and sat together, waiting for the class to start.
For the whole time, Alden kept silent. Though he did not tell anyone what happened, Neo and Owen could guess why he was quiet. So they did not bother him.
The first class soon started. Beasts class.
Alden did not pay attention. He thought of a solution and a way to convince Linda to let him participate in the Researcher exam. But he could not think of much.
The only way out he could see was if he revealed some of his trump cards that would increase his worth in her eyes. But he was conflicted.
