"Broken Halo. You have been assigned a mission outside the academy."
The class was already quiet, but it became even more quiet because many students forgot to breathe the moment they heard the words of their class instructor.
Even Simon was stunned, and he didn't know how to react for the first five seconds.
And there was a good reason for this.
First years were never given outside missions mainly because they were considered inexperienced and too weak to be used to be used in those kind of missions.
An Initiate's third year was mainly comprised of missions and very little classes.
Only the most talented second years were given missions, and this is after they were tested and approved by their instructors.
The only missions a first year could do were minor internal missions, and everybody knew this.
So why was Simon assigned an outside mission?
Simon looked at Instructor Valdin with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Why am I being assigned an outside mission?"
