A New Partnership 2

The embassy's invitation

 Chapter 12

A few weeks later, Jin sat in classes along with the other students waiting for the start of the lessons. Jin was scrolling through social media on his phone, then rolled his eyes forward as a student had arrived tired and dropped his bag on the ground.

"I'm beginning to regret the choice I made," Spoke the man in front of Jin making him look sad at the desk mate in front of him.

"School is really being tough lately, right?" Asked Jin making the boy nod. "Know how you feel," Admitted the raven-haired earning a little smile from the brunette man.

"Have you got a good feeling for the last test you had?" Asked the student making Jin shrug his shoulder.

"Lately I don't even know how I am supposed to feel about it," Confessed Jin, then looked forward at the teacher, that had started to talk and begin to walk around the class spreading the corrected exams. "Today we have got another exam after the 11, right?" Asked Jin making the man nod.

"Yeah, and all I see in my head are just words. Lots and lots of words," Commented the man making Jin nod. "You don't use VITAMI, right?"

"Nope. I heard it makes you addictive," Commented Jin making the man nod and see the man receive his test back, making him sigh in relief as he checked out the results.

65 points out of 100.....Thank goodness, this time it was worth the time," Commented the man making Jin smile.

"Congratulations," Said Jin seeing the man continue spreading the tests around. "Use now this motivation for your next exam. It sure will help you,"

"Thanks," Said the man making Jin smile, afterward the teacher passed by Jin to hand him out the exam, which made Jin gasp in shock at seeing his low punctuation.

"46 points only?"Asked Jin shocked, then looked up at the teacher, who still stood there by the Chinese descendant boy.

"You did have an excellent start into the university. You really showed a lot of ambition and will to go through the semesters. What happened to that Jin?" Questioned the teacher watching Jin pass his hand behind his neck understanding of the teacher's concern.

"I have been sorting a lot of priorities lately. Perhaps some of them don't have space in my life now or should not have been around in the first place,"

"Things are getting difficult here in the university. You should be capable to move on through the years with the minor of free time you have. I suggest you, if you have many hobbies or priorities to cease a couple of them and only leave the ones you really need to turn yourself off. Eventually, you could guide your life schedule, so you could keep an eye on everything and when necessary you prolongate work or free time for example. If you'd like, try it out. I can't promise, that it will work on you as well,"

"I will give it a try. It does sound really good," Mentioned Jin watching the teacher leave, afterward he sank down on his chair with a sigh. "If only the akumas had a time schedule,"

Mrs. Rossi sat inside the SUV parked on top of the sidewalk with a less formally dressed Gabriel standing on the outside of the vehicle lending into the car a white A4 sheet, which had the impression of an invitation.

"Where did you get that invite from?" Questioned the woman, then turned it around to see a small text on the back, which she read. "Dear Mr. Kurtzberg, hereby we invite you to a pleasant evening at one of our staff's Airbnb houses. You have been shown to be a refined young man to our daughter. We are very happy to welcome you and get to know you a little. It has been very hard for her to find herself friends in several schools and after all this with the akumatizations here in Paris and her own, things seem more difficult. We hope you will accept this as our way of gratitude for the gained bond of both of you. We are glad to see you on October 9th by the rue de Morane,"
