Leo walked through the large doors that led the way into the main auditorium of the Academy. He walked briskly and with purpose, the purpose being that he didn't cause any congestion at the entrance. Continuing his walk, Leo nodded his greeting at other cadets and instructors, most of whom returned the gesture. Leo took note of everyone around him and found that barring a handful of cadets who were here for the same reason, they all strolled towards their destinations calmly. The same could not be said for Leo, how could he be calm or even slightly relaxed for that matter. Today was the day. Today was his final exam.
As he walked to one side of the large open space, brightly lit by both the natural light filtering in through the large windows and open doors behind him and the rather bright lights that hung from the ceiling that to him, looked at least a hundred feet above him, Leo stopped to take a breath.
Pulling out his Padd, Leo took note of the time. ‘Good ten minutes early’ he thought to himself just as the Padd beeped twice. Responding immediately to the notification, Leo opened the message and read it quietly. [Sorry if this is late. Good luck today. Love Dad.] After a moment of collecting himself, the surprise of a message from his father, Leo tucked his Padd away and approached the counter at the far end of the Auditorium.
Seeing a Cadet walk away from the officer behind the desk, and that officer take a sip of whatever she was drinking, Leo headed towards the desk. He noticed how the lady he approached was merely people watching. ‘See, some officers are just normal people too’, he argued internally with himself trying to make light of the task that awaited down the hall from the counter he now stood in front of and then announced himself.
