Chapter 759: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 42
After playing in the water for three days, the kids got bored of the sea breeze and opted to play games indoors while the yacht made a return journey to Lucre. The controller had never left Asa’s hands as if he was afraid he would pick up some random practice books and study if he did.
And as if he wanted to vent all of his stress in a different way from shouting, Asa had been playing action games since morning, going against the girls until they took a break for lunch. There was no strategy or anything, just pure rage-pushing with random bullshit thrown in the middle. It was full of screaming and boisterous laughing that the bodyguards gave up on staying in the same room with them.
"Is the exam that hard?" Nari asked after finished laughing at the second controller Asa broke just that day. They decided to play something tamer afterward--something that only needed ’yes’ and ’no’ buttons.
Asa groaned and sighed. "It’s hard if you want to go to a good place."
"At least you’re not an esper, Oppa," Nari grinned.
"My Appa had to study for college during his final Academy year. I heard he brought his practice books inside the Tower."
"Pfft--" Asa laughed. Thinking back, his Uncle Shin did warn him it would be very, very hard. At least, Asa didn’t have to go to school again at this point so he could concentrate on the exam. "Yeah, I guess I’m in a better place, at least. Guide’s final exam before measuring the vessel in Temples is also easy."
All he had to do was successfully guide an esper to get the letter of recommendation so he could measure his vessel in the Temple and submit the result to the guide center. Since he had already guided his twin regularly, it was just like arriving for a free point.
"That’s why you can still go on a cruise like this, right?" Lucy poked her brother’s cheek, grinning.
"That’s right!" Asa laughed. Although he looked like he was throwing a tantrum while playing the games, his stress was actually shedding more and more with every scream and button abuse. "But forget about the exam--how should I go through this, Lu?"
Asa pointed at the big screen with his chin. The game they chose to defuse the tension from the action game was none other than Han Shin’s and Reina’s favorite genre: dating sim. He patted the head using his thigh as a pillow, demanding an answer.
