14 Going Downtown
The two officer drove off with the supposed (masochist's) to question at the station. After things cleared up Edwin went back to class. As he did none of his classmates got near him after what they saw the student's got out of his way in case he gets irritated at them. When he made it to his classroom it was dead silent, everyone was staring at Edwin with shocked expressions on them.
Especially Steve who looked at Edwin as if he were an alien. " What wrong?" he asked Steve " What wrong?! You just took down two men who were both armed and you're asking me what's wrong?!" Steve said in astonishment
" how did you do it, a new form of nanobots tech, aliens, or portal's to other worlds!" Steve crazily asked shouting hard to believe theories.
"... yes I can't hide it for long your right something odd did happen to me" Edwin admitted with a sigh
" what!?" Steve asked in anticipation " I took self-defense classes" Edwin chuckled, " F*CK YOU, oh my beliefs shattered in a second's!"
Steven yelled sunk to the ground on all four depressed, the other students couldn't help but chuckle at the odd scene.
A couple of hours passed and school ended today was hectic, not for Edwin but for his teacher's the reason he grown more intelligent than before, thus solved every answer and test given to with breeze.
Afterward, some of the teachers were in awe of Edwin's newfound vast knowledge and some would even take notes when he went to answer any question.
The reason for this is because of his upgrade to stage 2 which increases the mental capacity of the user, so during class he read flipped through all the pages of the study books, which Steve so helpful shared, his knowledge of his otherworld helped as well. As the two were walking out of school they talked about how to handle the loan shark situation.
" so Steve your situation will be cleared by today ill head over and have a good CHAT with them," Edwin said with annoyance " oh thanks dude I owe y.."
Edwin cut Steve off " owe me a 100$ and a drink," he said matter of factly "Why!?" Steve said feeling wronged " hey I'm helping you teaching you wisely advice," said Edwin honestly " what could that be?!"
" that nothing is free also this is the last time you're in debt ... Right.." Edwin glared at Steve when he said the last part " Yes sir!" Steve panicky saluted he cried a little inside thinking that his new loan shark was worse than his old loan shark!
Afterward, Edwin and Steve went their separate ways, Edwin made his way toward the Downtown area on a taxi towards where John said his boss lived. The taxi stops outside of a run-down casino with people going in and out some sober other not. "This will be fun" Edwin thought with a devilish smirk forming on his face
