School closed for the day, and while others chatted and saw each other off, Eric stood outside the school’s gate.
He had been there for a while, he didn’t know how he was going to face his aunt back at ho, so he purposely stayed behind till the academy’s closing ti drew closer.
He didn’t know what he was going to tell her, she already had her hands tied with the rent money that has been due for weeks now. If he told her about his suspension, especially so close to the examinations, he didn’t know the impact it’d have on her.
BIZZ BIZZ
As he walked down the streets, his phone vibrated in his pockets. His face lit up, he felt his heart pounding hard against his chest, and he imdiately reached into his pocket and grabbed his phone thinking it was his aunt.
As he raised his phone to his line of vision, he sighed softly, a little relieved at his expectations before picking the call.
It was a group chat call.
[Michael: Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for... The launch of the Guardians of the Cosmos! Luke, Mike, Eric. I’m sure you pre-ordered it days ago?]
[Luke: Yes.]
[Mike: Absolutely.]
"No." Eric just had to be different, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to preorder it, he rely forgot after all that had happened in the space of three days.
[Michael: Co on Eric! You know we’ve been waiting for this ga forever! We agreed to pre-order it because it takes a lot of ti to download. By the ti we arrive ho, the download was supposed to have been completed. It’s a clan ga for crying out loud!]
Michael couldn’t hold it in, they had been waiting for this for a long ti, now it seed Eric was just holding them back now.
"Sorry guys, even if I downloaded it I’m not sure I’d play tonight. Got a lot going on right now and I need ti to think."
[Mike: Is this about that goddamn nobility school you managed to enroll into? Man damn it! We told you that shit ain’t for you. They are just filled with arrogant and wealthy bastards.]
Eric sighed, while they were right, they couldn’t even begin to comprehend the shit he’s been into since that teor crashed down in Nova City days ago.
"Whatever, I’m going ho."
[Michael: Hey! Eric! Don’t hang the call on-!]
~Transmission End~
..
As he got ho, he closed his room door behind him with a loud thud, threw his school bag to the side of the room, and collapsed on the bed almost imdiately.
He wasn’t just physically tired, he was ntally tired. He slept throughout the night due to the anesthetics H.A.V.A administered to him during the Nano regeneration process.
Apparently it drained his stamina while restoring lost cells and damaged tissues.
"That bastard..." The incident with Naomi was all he could think about.
At first he thought it was fun, playing and dancing to her music for his own satisfaction. But the mont life beca more perplexing, and he changed the tune to fit his own path, it beca a problem for her.
Now she swore to do everything in her power to make him regret it, as if he didn’t already have a lot going on.
"Damn it all." He sighed, then sat up imdiately.
"Hava."
[Yes master?]
"Bring up my bio-data." He needed sothing to clear his mind, and right now focusing on the system was exactly what he needed.

_____________________________________
"I’ve been stuck at level 3 for a while now, is there any way I can level up Hava?" With the current level he was at, all he could do was fight low level thugs like those hijackers. Now that super powered Intergalactic agents with high tech gear were getting involved, the kind of combat tech he had might not be enough in the future.
[Yes, you can level up by completing tasks and missions.]
"Great, are there any tasks or missions I can take now?"
[No, there are no current tasks or mission available. Missions are assigned based on the cris happening in the city, I’ve calculated the difficulty of the mission required to level up and so far, missions under my calculations are no match.]
"So you’re saying the kind of cri or mission needed to move to the next rank is not yet available?"
[Yes master.]
"Damn it." He sighed, with the free ti on his hands, he carefully examined his bio-data, and what caught his attention was his inventory.
"That reminds , I also need to buff my costu, the fuckin hoodie keeps tearing each ti. H.A.V.A, is there anything I can do to upgrade my costu?"
[Yes master, Nano Creation can help with that as long as the inputted description fits the level of materials Nano Creation can provide at it’s level.]
"Alright, let’s go with the normal costu, I’m already fond of that. Just make it all bulletproof and latex, can’t have my hoodie tearing again."
[Understood, initiating Nano Creation...]
[Nano Creation has been completed.]
[New items has been added to your inventory!]
"Alright, now, I just wait for night."
..
By the ti the night arrived, Eric was already suited up in his upgraded costu. He wore a black hooded jacket that glistened under the night light, partly open to reveal a tight combat suit beneath.
Straps crossed his chest, holding a tactical harness in place, while a utility belt lined with cartridges sat firmly at his waist, it was loaded with several EMP and bomb grenades. His gloves and pants were made of tough, dark material, fitted with straps and a holster, and on top of that, he had the Dual Pulse Gloves on.
A smooth black mask hid his face, the hood casting it deeper into shadow, giving him the look of soone built for the night.
He stood at the edge of a roof, glancing down at the city. The view up there was beautiful, majestic and quiet, a little too quiet. But at the end, the night was too young.
"Hava."
[Yes master?]
"I know it’s an easy search, but I really want to weigh my options right now. I can’t just sit idly by and let Aunt Thelia is struggling to pay the rent. With the current tech I have right now, what can I do to make so quick buck?"
[According to the databases, the most suitable source of making profits are mostly online jobs, especially as a students. I’ve narrowed down three of those jobs that has been made easy with the tech at your disposal. The first is freelancing, with , you make copywriting and graphic designs look like child’s play. The second is content creation, with the popularity the Shadow Vigilante has drawn, I estimate it wouldn’t take long before you can make so profits off it. And the last is affiliate marketing, with my help, advertising products to a global audience will be relatively easy.]
"Wow, now that you ntion it, you really are at the center of all these jobs Hava. Wait..." The content creation section caught his eyes.
"That’s right." With the free ti left on his hands, he rembered the fan page one of those bullies ntioned during the day, and he brought out his phone before searching Fwitch for it again.
As his search pulled up, he couldn’t believe his eyes. In the course of seven hours, the fan page had gained over 500 plus followers, bringing it to a total of 700 followers.
There were already several posts from so many people, posts saying when next would he reveal himself, when was his next cri.
Then, a bold idea slapped him.
He created a completely different account from his original one, took a picture of his brand new outfit and uploaded it as his profile photo.
Then he joined the page.
"Yo, what’s good?"
He smiled, waiting for the chaos to erupt, so far only one picture of him was out in public, with the picture of his upgraded costu, he was sure to cause a stirr in the fan page!
