There is a project, which will influence your academic performance by 49%. It's important for you to get a good grade, otherwise you might fail this year or even have to leave the academia. Unfortunately, for this project everyone has to work with a partner.

You aren't really familiar with the other students, so it was rather embarrassing, when everyone had their partner except you. It was likely, that you'd need to work alone again, but then you feel a tap on your shoulder.

"Would you like to work on the project with me?"

Wanderer asked in a forced tone and you could see Nahida, the dendro Archon, in the back, seeming to cheer him on.
