Inside the Hall, the remaining Elite Five were still sitting together at the front row. This time, they had their girlfriends with them, save for Xing Han.
Ali and Sophia, Xing Han, Sam and Betty.
This would be Ali's final year at Sakura Academy, as he decided to take the DSE at the end of the year. Sam and Xing Han decided to stick around for another year.
Sam, because his parents were here and he wanted to be with Betty as well. Sakura Academy was as good as any school, so there was no reason for him to leave.
Xing Han, because he truly was learning a lot from following Nitocris around. Staying in Kyle's room gave him a sense of peace as well. In addition, he was not willing to go home and become the serious 'Tan Xing Han', the one who was getting married soon.
Everyone who entered would gaze at that row of seats and sigh. At least, they still had those three to look at.
* aka Shirk. It is to be pointed out that in Islam, so long as there is genuine repentance, anything is forgiven. The most common misconception is that if one 'shirk', one will never be forgiven. That is not true. If you repent sincerely, you can be forgiven. However, if you die in a state of Shirk, then of course you're doomed to Hell.
Think about it. If you abandoned your child/parent, would that child/parent forgive you if you never regretted what you did?
Not preaching. Just information.
** based on the satire of a Saudi man accidentally buying 2 Airbus A350s for his son's birthday
