"How's the progress going?" Jin asked Ice who was immersed in going over a book.
"Huh?" Ice raised her head to look towards Jin and frowned. "Where are you going?"
At that moment, it hit her and she suddenly asked with raised brows, "...you're leaving the academy?'
Jin chuckled and answered, "No, not yet. I still have to defeat Brown in CQC before that happens.
I'm just going out for a while for some business. I'll be back in a week or so."
"Ah, I see…but where exactly are you going?" Ice asked.
"It's a harbour named Rupiya. It should be around four hundred kilometres from here," Jin answered.
"It's so far! How are you planning to go?" Ice asked with widened eyes.
"I talked with Brown about it and he said that he'll drop me to the highway, which is ten kilometres from here. I just need to hitch a ride from there," Jin explained and said with a wave, "I'll be going then. Tell the others about it from my side."
"You're leaving already? Why not go after lunch?" Ice asked.
