Legacy Firing

Charlus went back to his house. He was not exhausted physically, but he was mentally. Knocking down a bunch of thugs was not a walk in the park.

Charlus immediately jumped onto his bed when he reached home. It was still 8 PM but Charlus didn't care. He decided to sleep early. Charlus woke up early the next day. Around 5 AM. He got ready and had a full breakfast before going to school.

When Charlus got to school, he sat in his first class - English. He was just passing time by making a paper plane while he was waiting for the other students. The other students came in slowly. Charlus didn't interact with all of them that much so he only nodded at them.

Charlus was focused on his plane that he did not even watch his friend enter his friend enter the class.

"So, Charlus. What were you up to?"

Charlus looked up and found Milo in front of him. Charlus quickly moved to the side to let him pass inside to let him sit beside him.

"You tell me. You haven't come for 4 days."

Charlus looked at Milo's level.

[Milo Stanley Lvl 25]

Charlus immediately saw the difference in Milo's level. He had increased 4 levels in the span of 4 days. While this wasn't as fast as Charlus, it was still surprising.

"I went to this Karate meet. I was just sparring for the four days I went. Did Marcus do anything to you?"

"Marcus? We are bosom buddies now. Ask him if you want. He understood that what he did was wrong and he apologized."

Charlus was jealous of Milo. If he went to a Karate meet, that meant that he would be continuously sparring at high levelled people and he would be getting Exp for each opponent he defeated. That would be the perfect farm.

"Did he tell you to say that? You know you don't have to be scared off him."

Charlus laughed.

"Something funny Mr Black?"

Charlus looked up at his English teacher.

"Could you tell me why the use of a semicolon is better than the colon here?"

Charlus looked at the sentence on the board.

Joan likes eggs; Jennifer does not.

"A semicolon is a punctuation mark indicating a pause between two main clauses and is more pronounced than that indicated by a comma. The semicolon is differentiating the two main clauses that can stand alone without the other."

Everyone in the class was looking at Charlus with wide eyes. This was the first time Charlus had answered a question in the class. Moreover, the answer that he gave was correct.

Charlus sat down and smiled at Milo who was still staring at Charlus.

"That is... correct. It is nice that you are paying attention now. I hope to see the same from you in the future."

The English teacher was surprised that Charlus was able to answer the question but went back to the class.

Charlus was bombarded by Milo.

"What was that man? I didn't know you knew you studied."

Charlus was also surprised at how easily he was able to answer the question. He quickly recollected everything he did. Which one could be the reason? The Int increase! That was the only explanation.

"Just heard it in the background."

Charlus was able to remember what his teacher had said even while he was talking to Milo, which showed how effective the Int increase was.

Class finished quickly. Charlus didn't have the same class as Milo in the next period.

"See you at lunch."

Lunch came quickly. Charlus met up with Milo. Milo suddenly remembered about his earlier conversation with Charlus.

"Where is Marcus? I will talk to him."

Charlus shrugged.

"How would I know where he is? Find him yourself."

Milo got up and searched for Marcus. He found him in the corner of the cafeteria with a few of his buddies.

"Hey. Did you do anything to Charlus while I was gone?"

Marcus saw Milo and suddenly became afraid.

"I told him not to go! It wasn't my fault. I told him to run away."

Marcus was about to stand up and run but Milo caught his shirt and yanked it.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Suddenly Charlus came.

"Hey Milo. I'm taking your Chocolate milk. It's really good. Hello Marcus."

Marcus looked at Charlus like he saw a ghost.

"You're alive?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Milo suddenly became suspicious.

"Oh nothing. Come on Marcus. Don't joke around. You don't want to repeat what happened."

"Right.... Nothing happened. I was just joking."

Marcus backed away slowly from Milo and Charlus and ran away.
