Ascension Exams
Ronin slipped away as naturally as air from the classroom before the next period begins. No one noticed him or paid attention.
He found that the secret to making people not notice you as if you were invisible was to treat them like invisible too.
Do not overthink your step, pay them no mind.
Of course, speed and timing were also important. It's the 'skill' part of it.
But the secret of stealth relies always on your mental capacity to blend with the surroundings. And the surroundings rarely care for the people around them.
Once he had reached the Quadrangle where the exams will take place, he caught sight of Cermin wearing some pretty heavy plate armor. He was surrounded by fellow fully-armored Wariors.
Even with the helmet on, Ronin did not need to see his face to recognize it was him even from a mile away.
Cermin raised his visor when he saw Ronin and waved. He ran to him.
"Ronin! You really came, your teacher didn't catch you?"
