Alden and Owen got down the arena.
With every second that passed, Alden's heartbeat slightly increased. He was excited and at the same time, afraid to take the exam.
But the time does not wait for anyone. It simply passes.
Soon, the class ended.
The students slowly started leaving the eleventh floor.
Neo, Owen, and Chloe gathered around Alden.
"Good luck, buddy." Neo gently punched Alden in the chest. "You got this."
"Good luck. Don't let the month we spend in the library be in vain." Chloe encouraged.
"G-good luck." Owen wished luck as well.
"Thank you guys." Alden smiled warmly. He was glad to have such great friends.
"Alden, let's go," Linda said from the distance.
"Coming!" Alden shouted. He turned to his friends. "Guys, see you soon."
Having said this, Alden ran towards Linda, and they entered an elevator.
