Maxi smiled slightly and asked him in a whisper:
"No, could you please pass a sheet of paper and a pencil?"
Samuel shook his head in exasperation, but took out a sheet of paper from his binder and a pencil from his pencil case anyway.
"Here, don't thank ."
Maxi nodded, smiling at Samuel, then began to take notes of the lecture.
Just then, the language teacher began to tell the story of the Piran language.
"At the very beginning of the Piran story there were of course gestures to communicate, but these gestures gradually disappeared to make way for verbal language."
"Like any species, various language systems erged throughout history until they succeeded in rging their entire population under a single banner."
"This enabled their people to have a common language, although many other languages remain spoken in order to maintain their cultural heritage."
"However, the Piran civilization beca extrely militarized when it began to make contact with other civilizations."
"Hundreds of years passed, and as ti went by, the military atmosphere beca more and more oppressive."
"From an early age, every Piran trains so that he can be mobilized in case of absolute necessity."
"So every Piran knows the military rules and gestures."
"In order to be able to communicate as quickly as possible on the battlefield, words began to be shortened, certain syllables disappeared forever giving way to gestures with the aning of those syllables."
"In our army we also have a similar system of language but generally these are unique languages and developed by certain elite units."
"But on their side they have promoted this language system throughout their army and therefore to their entire civilization."
"Their language had so flaws at first, and above all it was very complicated to harmonize this language to a civilization as big as theirs."
"After all, at that ti they already had 5 habitable planets and just over a hundred billion inhabitants."
"That's when Emperor Hydra V stepped in and instituted a special education policy to complent an extrely innovative thod."
...
"So much for the Piran language history lesson. Make sure you rember the history of this language, as a question on this subject has already appeared in the university competition."
"Also, to learn a language well, it's important to know its history."
"That concludes this lesson, you may dismiss."
As the students began to leave the room, Maxi was still imrsed in the teacher's lecture, recalling both the key notions of the course and the murder scenes from 3 days ago.
"Hey."
While he was in a mini-trance, a soft voice entered his ears, but Maxi remained in his thoughts, as if he couldn't tear himself away.
He could see the countless corpses of Piran and his comrades on the ground. Blood spread over hundreds of ters.
A scene worthy of a horror movie, and yet what Maxi had experienced was far worse than anything horror movies could produce.
Monts later, he felt a hand on his shoulder, which woke him up and made him jump slightly.
"Are you all right, brother?"
Maxi looked up to see Samuel with a worried face.
"Yeah...Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry," Maxi reassured him with a slight smile.
"It's such a strange situation to study a civilization and see their magnificent prowess and innovation just after killing dozens of them a few days before." thought Maxi with a strange face.
"So our celebrity can have this face, no one would think so after seeing the videos on TokTik!" scoffed Samuel lightly.
Looking at his friend's slanderous face, Maxi couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"Samuel, there are just a few thousand likes on those videos, that's not much."
"Every day heroes erge from the human race, I'm just one of many."
"But how many people really dare to do exactly what you did at your age? Even if there are many, the proportion remains a very small minority among the billions of human beings there are on the blue planet."
"Even counting the other human planets there wouldn't be many."
These few sentences, said in a lodious voice, entered Maxi and Samuel's ears.
Turning around, Maxi's eyes widened, as did Samuel's behind him.
"Wow, did you see that, bro, a beauty just spoke to you," Samuel whispered discreetly to Maxi.
But Maxi was unperturbed as he asked:
"You're Lisa, aren't you?"
Lisa also happened to be a high school senior. She was a young woman with long, black hair.
Her hair seed to be extrely silky as it swayed gracefully in the air thanks to the wind entering through the classroom windows.
The scene seed almost fairytale-like as the students still in the classroom and the teacher still not having left turned their attention to the two protagonists.
But Winny and the few other young noblen who had fought alongside Maxi and his rcenaries had a shocked expression when they saw her.
"That's right, Lisa from the Reiner family to be precise. Pleased to et you, Maxi."
"Quite my type." comnted Maxi silently, keeping his own opinion to himself.
He knew Lisa slightly because Samuel had already shown him a few photos of her, saying how this young woman was the goddess of their school.
He stood up and faced Lisa, with less than a ter separating them.
"Maxi from the Valdreuve family, to be precise. Pleased to et you Lisa," he said, extending his hand.
Lisa seed slightly surprised, but simply smiled, then extended her hand as well.
"The Valdreuve family? Is there a known family with that na?" asked Lisa curiously.
"No, not yet."
"Oh, what ambition!"
"Just goals."
"But, tell Lisa, why were you coming to see ?"
Faced with this question, Lisa smiled mysteriously before replying:
"I just ca out of curiosity, to see what the mysterious TokTik hero looks like."
"But now I've satisfied my curiosity, so I'm going to leave, see you soon Maxi!" she continued as she turned to get ready to leave under the curious eyes of Maxi and his comrades.
"Just wait two seconds, could you answer another question for ?" asked Maxi after a few seconds' thought.
Lisa stopped, curious as to what Maxi wanted to know.
"Please, my hero," she said teasingly, winking at Maxi.
Unfortunately at the ti, no one had any idea that this sentence was far more significant than it first appeared.
"Could you also be a heroine if the need arose?" asked Maxi very seriously.
The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly beca tense.
After all, this was a question most people would want to avoid.
Who would want to risk their life if soone else could take the risk for them?
But Lisa was still smiling.
"Isn't it obvious? Of course I couldn't beco one, after all I'm not as strong as you."
"I hope I've answered your question correctly Maxi, see you next ti!"
As Lisa quietly left under the more or less bemused eyes of the teacher and classmates, Maxi was happy.
"What makes Max so happy?" asked Samuel, observing him.
"That girl, I like her!" said Maxi full of confidence as he looked at Samuel.
Samuel's eyes were far more surprised than before, and he looked left and right to see if anyone else had heard what Maxi had just said.
Observing that no one had heard Maxi, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief then exclaid in a low voice:
"You're fucking crazy, Max! That girl is not just anyone!"
"Is it Lisa?"
"No, that's not what I an. I'm telling you that her family, the Reiner family, is much more important and powerful than you think!
"Who cares, right?" asked Maxi with a slight sigh of exasperation.
"Of course not, if you want to date her you have to at least have a status equal to or higher than hers otherwise it's impossible!"
"Then I'll just have to get that status, story settled."
"It's not as simple as that, the Reiner family is one of the 12 ruling families of the human race." replied Samuel, shaking his head.
"Ohhhh, so much the better that ans if she becos my wife then I'll beco super rich and influential!" comnted Maxi, laughing.
"That's it, I give up, you're a hopeless case bro."
