Chapter 52 51 - A Statement

After seeing Corey get frozen solid the rest of the students in the X ranked class had their eyes wide. Milo's control over his ability was astounding, and probably the most impressed of the group was Zach. Zach knew that unlike the other students in the class, Milo was from a family that couldn't afford to help him cultivate his ability. While the other students didn't know this, after seeing Corey mess with him over the last few days and seeing how Milo retaliated they now had lost all thoughts of trying to bully him into submission.

"Well done Milo," Mikael said with a wink, "This concludes practical training today, Corey don't go anywhere I will call someone to help thaw you out and make sure you aren't hurt."

Hearing Mikael make bad jokes towards Corey's current state just like he had made Milo like Mikael even more. "So this is what he meant when he said I'd get a chance at revenge," thought Milo. Because it was under the guise of sparring he couldn't get in trouble for it either.

After class ended, Milo went to change and suddenly the rest of the students in the X rated class were either avoiding him or wanted to talk to him. Among the students that introduced themselves, only two really stood out, the first was a guy named Luke, he had a support ability that allowed him to put up invisible barriers, he had dark brown hair and brown eyes that were covered by a pair of glasses.

The other was a girl named Chloe, she seemed to be of asian descent and had her black hair in two buns on either side of her head, making them look like the ears of a bear. Her ability allowed her to teleport short distances and when using her ability she was able to transport one other person with her if she was touching them when activating the ability. After introducing themselves, they left Milo alone with Zach and went on their way.

After being left alone, Zach and Milo went for a walk around campus. When talking more, Milo learned that of all the people that had bullied him, Luke seemed to be the nicest and seemed like he was forced into it by some of the other guys in the class, and Chloe was someone who was always friendly to him, she was well liked around campus by almost everyone. Hearing this, Milo was happy that he would hopefully get to know more of the people in the X ranked class, as they would be his classmates for the rest of the year. Zach was glad Milo had made his way up to the X ranked class as well, as he finally had a friend.

Milo thought it was about time Zach got to meet the rest of the gang and decided to shoot them all a message, and after setting a meeting area, they all showed up at the Sim Room and went over to the lounge area.

After introducing himself, Zach seemed like a different person, his usual quiet and timid demeanor were gone and instead he finally seemed like his true self, not the Zach that was locked behind his past as someone who was a victim of bullying.

Krista looked at Milo who was happier than ever, and was relieved to see that the happy young kid she once knew had finally returned after taking a sabbatical for their first two years of highschool. After seeing him down for so long, she was worried that she may never see him smile and laugh like he was now, and it was a huge relief. As she had gotten to know him more, she got to see so many amazing things in him and seeing him find someone just like him, and being the difference he needed made her heart flutter. She had noticed recently, but when looking at him sometimes she would get lost in thought and everything else would just fade away.

After saying their goodnights, the group went their separate ways, it looked like school would finally be good for awhile.
