"Although I'll still explain a few things after you pick a mission, are there any questions for now?" the facilitator asked, his tone calm but edged with mild impatience.
Asher fell silent, lost momentarily in thought, as though carefully deciding on a question worth asking.
"What if a student dies during a mission?" he suddenly asked. After all, death was a constant companion in any mission, no matter how careful one was, there was no such thing as a hundred percent safety.
The facilitator arched an eyebrow. "Didn't you read the Academy's invitation letter that was sent to you?"
Asher shook his head and replied casually, "I didn't even see the letter, let alone read it."
The man stared at him with a hint of disbelief. Every student admitted into the Star Academy was personally given an invitation letter, it was a tradition that had never been broken.
"The invitation letter was given to my father, not me," Asher explained after noticing the man's puzzled gaze.
