"You are just new here, that's all," Mark sighed, "you didn't see the real shamelessness that would happen at the outer battlefield. There you won't follow any academy rules."
"B- But first grade only will be sent, right?"
"This…" Mark took a deep breath, "leave it for later, let's focus on this expedition first."
Jim felt there were hidden things, bad things that Mark decided not to share.
'The man is right,' the old man said, 'Don't ask about things before the right time.'
'Sigh, I just wanted to get a glimpse of that next expedition.'
'Finish this one safely and brilliantly before thinking about the next one.'
Jim knew the old man's point of view towards this issue. He tried many times to know the real story behind the old man but every time he got the same answer.
Just like what Mark did now.
