Trust, Greed & Naivety

After the friends talked for a while, Zeke mentioned something Michael had totally forgotten about.

"By the way, I noticed that you haven't submitted your final exams yet. Are you planning to leave the academy, or did you forget to apply for exam exemption?" 

Michael tilted his head in confusion.

"You…have no idea what I'm talking about, right?" Zeke figured.

"No. Well, yes. It's just that I forgot that I'm still a student at the academy. I don't know why, but I feel like I graduated already," Michael said in all honesty. He thought deeply, "How do I apply for exam exemption?" 

It was a hassle, but it was better to apply for an exam exemption than leave the Saphirelake Military Academy. He didn't care much about studying there anymore, but he figured that it was good to stay since it was the first place where Berserkers, Warlock Centaurs, and Humans were taught together.
