48. Wallace

I was traumatized after the death circuit, I could barely concentrate at the academy and it was hard to make money through video games. If I continued my bad streak, I would have to go crawling back to my father and that was something I didn't want to allow myself.

I knew Carter was a monster and had a reputation in the fight clubs, but I couldn't believe that Aaron was strong enough to become the most hated person in town. On the contrary, Professor Dolph, an overly skilled police officer doubted that it was all about effort.

It had only been a week since the death circuit ended, I watched my savings account empty and realized that I had to do something to make amends.

I got to the academy early, made up some stupid excuse to Aaron that I couldn't wait for him and he didn't even seem to bother.

Professor Dolph was with his classmates having breakfast as I remembered, as if the weather would not affect his routine.
