About eight minutes since their encounter, Lily accompanied him towards the exit.
After making several turns through the maze of a hallway, a dead end finally appeared in view.
"This is so fun. I remember when I first came here, I had to always exercise my brain, memorising each hallway or find a mark point at each intersection. It's said that some students chose staying in the dorm because they couldn't find their way to the exit."
With their destination in sight, Lily quickly created a conversation between them after being awkwardly silent for the past minutes.
Finding sense in her word though, Max realized why the base was a maze.
'A constant brain exercise? Such a genius way to teach.'
Nodding, Max noticed Lily had come to a sudden halt.
Since they were so close to the exit, there were no passersby in this hallway. Those in sight were more than twenty metres away.
"Hum…" she began with a hesitant, shy look.
