"Atticus Ravenstein," Jared's voice suddenly sounded, stopping Atticus in his tracks.

"A word with you, please."

Hearing Jared's words, each one of the students who were initially moving out of the room all stopped and turned to look at Atticus, each of them wondering why Jared had asked Atticus to wait behind.

"I'll be waiting outside," Kael turned to Atticus and suddenly declared. Without waiting for a response, he started walking out of the hall.

Atticus turned to look at Jared, who was gazing at him with a small smile.

Instead of trying to guess what the huge man wanted, Atticus decided to hear directly from the man himself. He started walking towards Jared.

After a few seconds, the hall became empty as each of the students left, leaving only Atticus and Jared behind.

"I will go straight to the point," Jared suddenly started speaking, controlling the intensity of his voice as he neared Atticus, who was looking at him warily.
