"Cock-a-doodle-do!" "Cock-a-doodle-do!"
"Ugh, morning already huh" Marx Cortez awakes.
A groggy Marx gets up and gets changed very slowly. Reading the multiple clocks in his room. He squints so his eyes can make out a number.
"7:55"Shit I'm going to be late for class.
Marx in a panic ran downstairs. Passing by his parents having breakfast.
"There you are, young man. What time did you come home las-"
ZTTTT
Marx zooms in due to his lightning speed.
"Don't worry hun he's trying to make a change by going to school early".
ZOOM!
Marx comes back"I came home pretty early-ish. Sorry, I didn't respond to you guys catch yall later. Running late for class."
"Hey Marx I think-"
ZOOM
"It's alright honey it'll soon hit him when he reaches a clock somewhere." Marx's dad says.
The time was actually 7:30 when Marx uses his speed he sometimes leaves a small aftershock depending on how fast he was going. In this instance, he took out an electric clock in his room. In actuality, it just had dead batteries.
Marx in his speed state thought "Huh, why ain't I seeing no one going to school yet." Passing by a giant clock tower in the middle of the town it read "7:35." With a dead look, he stops and contemplates what he should do now. Scratching his head and thinking.
"Well I guess I should head to school" Marx goes speeding by a group of people.
" Yes, the information about the Temple in the Valley is valid. We also have delivered the bodies. Now can we get our paymen-," a mage says."
Marx going by so fast knocks the guy's phone outta his hand and breaks it and also kills the batteries of the other people with him.
"Sorry guys."
"That damn brat."
"Someone get back on the phone with them it's really important so that this plan can go smoothly!"
"Yes sir"
"And someone please get me the guy thunder mages name and information"
"On the way sir."
Marx arrives at the gates speeding through everyone apologizing to everyone he bumps into.
Oof
Marx walks into someone "Ugh sorry man. Did I shock you by accident?" It was like hitting a sack of potatoes.
"IT IS FINE MARX."
"Ah hello Chonsee"
"Good morning MARX."
"I'll catch you in class man"
"YES, SAME."
Marx walked to the classroom door "Thank goodness it was Chonsee has an earth mage so he's resistant to shocks. We'll make a sick duo if we fight together" Marx thought.
"Marx arrives to class."
"Woah this is a first your on time and not running in at the last bell." Mr. Kaneda says. "Listen Marx please try to make it to class on time it's only our first week and you should know if you exceed a certain amount of tardies."
"Yeah, I'll try to be on time more often starting from now," Marx replies.
"I know you are a good mage Marx and a good student. I know you're just a Class C mage but let that rank belittle you. You got an amazing ability and only you can control how hard you wanna go with it."
"Thank you, sir."
"If you want a tip from an Aeon mage like myself. Try using your thunder ability to increase the speed of your physical attacks. Or maybe try to manifest some sorta object with this thunder. Just a little suggestion if you find yourself in a sticky spot." says Mr.Kaneda.
"Alright, I'll put some thought into it."
"Also where's Everett I know you two are best friends since I see you guys hanging around all time ever since your first year here."
"He's going to be late maybe too."
"A little late-night adventure last night."
"Yeah, you could say that."
"Alright alright"
Marx walks to his seat slowly with a tired and sleepy expression.
"Ugh so tired. I should've fixed all my clocks and slept earlier."
"Rough night," June says.
"Nah I came home pretty early."
"What time is early for you Marx"
"1 or 2."
"That's early for you? I head to bead before 12. I spend my night studying, doing student council work, planning the upcoming meetings, and gathering more information on the Order-" June says.
"The order of what June?" Marx asks.
"The order" June struggled to come up with a response. "The order on which class will arrive there first haha." June scratches her head. "But enough about me let's talk about you arriving to class more often like this is possible. "
"I respect you for looking out for me and doing what you're doing as student council president June. I'll try to be on time more. Dont worry about me."
June sits diagonal from Marx. While Marx is in front of Everett.
"Thank you being Student Council President means ensuring the rest of the school and my classmates are in good condition to pass and move on. The same goes for Everett."
The door slams open.
RINGGGGGG
"Speaking of the devil."
A familiar face walks into class, huffing and puffing like he just ran a marathon. "Woah Master Sage nearly late again."
