CH124: PHOENIX (PART 1)

  Looking at the system notification and Phoenix's face, Max didn't know what or how he was going to tell him the bad news. Phoenix had been his friend and one of the biggest reasons he was what he was today. Putting him down like that was not only going to break his heart, but it would also crush his spirits. He already knew that Phoenix wasn't the strongest fire mutant of all seven of them but he still had potential.

"Well come on with it, Max," Phoenix said with an even bigger smile on his face. "Am I  fire knight like you now?" Max gulped down as his face wrinkled with sadness. Phoenix's heart dropped into his stomach as he saw Max's facial expression change. "It didn't work, did it?" He sighed as he sat down with his hands on his head.

  "I'm sorry Phoenix," Max apologized as he sat next to Phoenix. "The system said that you'll have to reach there on your own."
