The exam’s three quests

Aldrich didn't know how to start, he went over what he planned to say before coming here but he still found himself unable to explain.

Deep inside he felt that he didn't want to involve Ayemon in every one of his problems, even if Ayemon could solve everything with a flick of his fingers.

That was not the problem. Aldrich didn't want Ayemon to think of him as incompetent, the kid that he had to take care of all day. He wanted to prove that he could take care of his own problems himself.

But an innocent life was on the line, not only innocent but one that he was highly indebted to, so realistically speaking he had to ask for help.

"What's wrong with you? You're early but I already have the quests of the exam ready. Take a look."

"It's here already?" Aldrich asked. Well, he could always ask after hearing about the exam. Because that might change how he responded to Irene's problem.

Ayemon took out an envelope from on of the drawers of his desk, it was not very big.
