Extra Exam

Strangely, I expected Sean to attack me when I let my guard down, but that never happened. He seemed much more suited to being a teammate, which was unlike him.

I feared that my actions might cause his story to change as well, but the more I observed him, the more he seemed to remain the same.

"What are we going to do now? Are we going to stay in this camp?" Sean asked after resting for the night.

"Yes. Believe it or not, this might be enough for us to pass the exam," I said honestly.

"But?" he replied, noticing my disinterest in the word 'enough.'

"...there is a way to guarantee our way to the top. Also, having high enough points should give us some benefits after we pass the exam."

"I agree. My brother graduated from this school not too long ago. He said nothing was without an outcome at Arcane Academy, so they should give us something for doing extra work... but the question is, what is that extra work?"
