The Empire of Reimia (3)

Moriner, as usual, deeply engrossed in his own thoughts, didn't immediately notice the appearance of new faces in their class. Like the others, he politely introduced himself to the new girl, and completely ignored the strange guy, waiting for permission to finally leave the class and return home.
The weeks that had passed had made him somewhat detach himself from the sad events of the past month; he had even found reading the new code to be somewhat engaging. Of course, there were plenty of flaws and shortcomings that he could (albeit only inwardly and with a touch of regret) argue with, but there were also things that genuinely interested the student. As for the rest of his studies, he made every effort to try not to fail the tests coming up at the end of the week – and while the others enjoyed participating in and watching international competitions, he, as usual, completely immersed himself in the study materials.
