Secret Place

The night fell in the academy city.

In Alden's room, Neo and Owen sat on their beds cross-legged.

Owen was cultivating with the dual chain scythes beside him. If one looked closely, he could see the damaged skin on his palms. He has been training to familiarize himself with the new weapon.

Neo opened his one eye to see if Owen was awake. 

Seeing that he was not, Neo opened his other eye.

"Ahhhh..." He sighed as he leaned back on his bed. "I am so bored." 

'Since I told them that Alden was sitting longer for training, they have been like this,' Neo looked at Owen. 'Chloe has not come out of her room and is training. Owen is the same. He is only training. I know they don't want to be left behind by Alden, but isn't this too much?'

Neo glanced at Alden's bed.

The wolf cub lay on the bed. It had a cocoon made of what resembled green threads wrapped around its body.
