By the time for dinner, Patrick had successfully shot down the moving targets.

"Wait, wait, I need to eat dinner first!" Patrick stopped the System.
***
At dinner,
"Father, my son, Vincent, can now play Mozart's composition. He has also won 1st prize in Math competition between elite schools." boasted his uncle before looking at him meaningfully.
"Yes, Grandfather. My piano teacher even praised me after I and my elite friends performed Mozart's Piano Concert No. 26, 'Coronation', composed in 1798." boasted Vincent, Patrick's cousin.
("Show off!") thought Patrick.
"How about you, my nephew?" asked his uncle suddenly.
"Uncle, I only know basics about piano and classical music. But I know one thing, that is Mozart's Piano Concert No. 26, 'Coronation' was composed in 1788, not 1798. Mozart died in 1792, how could he compose music in 1798?" answered Patrick.
"Cousin, I don't think I am wrong about such a simple fact." replied Vincent.
Patrick did not say anything but turned his head and looked at his grandfather.
"Patrick is right!" said the King before added more "Before showing off, make sure to get fact right first!"
"Yes, Father/Grandfather!" said his uncle and cousin embarrassed.

After dinner, in the West Hall,
"You fool, you humiliated me in front of everyone!" Patrick's uncle said before hitting his son's head.
"I'm sorry, Father!"
***
In the East Hall,
"Patrick!"
Patrick turned around when he heard his name and he saw his aunt-in-law, Mary, and her little daughter, Lucy.
"Ah, Aunty Mary, Lucy!" Patrick called their names happily.
"Sorry, Patrick, for my husband and son's behavior!" said Mary.
"Sowwy, Pat. My father and bwother have been bad to you!" said Lucy while holding Patrick's hand.
"I don't take it to my mind!" said Patrick while patting Lucy's head.
"I promise I will re-educate Vincent again. I won't let he be influenced by his father anymore!" said Mary before leaving with Lucy.
"Uhm!" replied Patrick before he went back to his room.

When Patrick returned to his room, he took out his phone and messaged Kai.
[Hey, monitor, send me your homework.]
[Why?] replied Kai.
[So that I can copy and paste as my homework, duh!]
[Do it yourself! If you don't do it yourself, how could you improve?]
[I'm already good at studying, so just send me your homework.]
[No is no.]
[20] [million] [cellons] [plus] [3000] [cellons]] Patrick broke his message into many message bubble.
[Fine!]
And then Kai sent a bunch of photos of his homework to Patrick.
[Hehe, thanks, monitor!]

After finishing the homework, Patrick went to the System's dimension again and continued to learn Layla's skills. This time, not only can the targets move but they can also attack.

< Agility: 7>> "Good, Master! You have successfully learned how to use a Leviathan rifle prototype to attack the enemies basically. Now you will be able to learn the skills. It's quite easy but you have to control the rifle well." said Layla. "So how could I use other skills?" Patrick asked Layla while looking at his training rifle. Patrick didn't know to to use the rifle for the skills as in the game, he just needed to press the skills buttons and he could use them. "Well, actually, my skills were all thanks to the Leviathan rifle. To use the skills, you just need to switch between the modes on the gun and you can use it." "Really! Where can I switch the mode?" "Oh, it's right here!" Layla pointed to a part on the gun for Patrick. "Thanks, let me try it!" "Wait..." And before Layla could say anything else, Patrick switched the mode and used the Ultimate, Destruction Rush. BOOM However, because the force from the shot was too strong, Patrick was pushed backward and slammed into Dyrroth. The rifle was also dropped to the ground. "Argh, pitiful Master, get off me!" "Master, that's why I told you that you must control your rifle well first. And you must learn the other 2 skills, Malefic Bomb and Void Projectile, first before learning the Ultimate." Layla said while helping Patrick stand up. "This is what a weak creature do when he gets his hands on something strong." said Thamuz while kicking Dyrroth, ordering for him to stand up quickly. After that until he went to sleep, Patrick practiced controlling the rifle, plus standing firm against the shock from the shot while using Malefic Bomb and Void Projectile. *** Meanwhile, at Kent's house, "Father, you called for me?" asked Mrs. Li upon entering her father's room. "Yes! Meilin, do you remember the boy whom I attacked last time? asked Old Li. "Yes, Father! Patrick, Kent's friend, whom we could feel that he had contacted with the demon." answered Mrs. Li. "I think that we can get some information about demonic activities out of him, so try to get him here once more time." "Yes, Father!"
