Chapter 67: Resentment
Atlas went out to the garden to breathe in some fresh air. The problem Professor Singh gave to him was impossible to answer. He tried different methods, but it didn’t make sense to him. Hence, he thought that maybe, if he had a change of view, he would get inspiration.
’This is ruthless...’ he thought, closing his eyes and he inhaled deeply. ’But Professor Singh gave this same problem to those in the star section.’
If Atlas couldn’t find the solution for this, then it would only show his chances of getting into the star section were slimmer than he thought.
Unbeknownst to Atlas, he wasn’t the only one who was calling the problem Professor Singh gave them "ruthless." Because at this very same second, those who sent tutoring invitations from Professor Singh and received the same response were currently meditating in their own little gardens.
*hic*
A meek hiccup suddenly interrupted Atlas’s quiet surroundings. He opened his eyes and looked back, only to see Nina jolting when she saw him out in the garden.
"Nina?" deep lines resurfaced on his forehead when he noticed Nina’s swollen eyes. "Nina, have you been crying?"
Nina clasped her hand on her chest and forced a smile. "Yes, First Brother. I’m okay." she then averted her gaze to hide her swollen eyes.
"You’re not okay." Atlas approached and lowered his head. "What happened to you?"
"Nothing, brother."
