Jared waited outside with a worried expression. Two days had passed, and he didn't know whether Merlin was still inside the library.
If not, his chance to rise up would be completely lost.
Yes, over the past few days, he had given Merlin's offer careful thought. At first, he had been hesitant, even thinking the boy was just bragging.
But upon further reflection, what motive would Merlin have for doing that?
Merlin was the most talented student in the first year. He was also beloved by the professors and received special attention from them.
Meanwhile, Jared?
He was just an ordinary student who didn't stand out much.
Although he was part of the first wave of students, the fact that he couldn't get into Class 1-A showed that he wasn't any more talented than the others.
That was why he wanted to believe Merlin wouldn't deceive him. There was no advantage, and nothing to be gained from it.
