Chapter 16 - Being Cool

"What did you just say?" Lomobert pointed his gun at the cool man. "Don't disrespect me or you will see what happens," he threatened the cool man. In front of Lilly, he couldn't show any weakness.

Meanwhile, Lilly just leaned back in her seat, too tired to argue anymore. She had accepted that there was nothing she could do to make the situation any better.

"Not cool!" the man said and pointed at the gun. "You use this thing to boost your confidence. The gun is quite long; does that mean you compensate for something else that is small?"

"Shut up!" Lomobert was on the edge and decided to shoot the man in the leg to teach him some manners. Lilly was watching, and he could not lose and let the man insult him.

Bang!

"Wabadubu!!" the man shouted out loud as the trigger of the gun was pressed. Suddenly a weird energy came out of the man, who looked like he was breakdancing in the air. In a single moment, the man blocked the bullet and destroyed the guy in Lomobert's hand with the weird cold energy. 

"Not cool!" he said once again as he now said on top of a random passenger seat. "Did you learn your lesson, young man?" he said.

Lomobert looked perplexed; he could block a bullet? He looked at his bodyguard as if asking him if he could take him down. The bodyguard just awkwardly shook his head, and Lomobert had no choice but to give in to the man until the flight was over. "I learned my lesson; please spare me, master. What is your name?"

"Not cool!" the man said once more. "I know that you haven't learned, but I will let it pass for now. Since I'm cool. As for my name, it is Coolbro Mamane." He suddenly took out another ice pack and threw it directly in Lomobert's face. 

Lomobert was unconscious once again, now with an icepack on his face. The bodyguard and assistant of Lomobert wanted to interveen, but what could they do against someone blocking a bullet? Now they just looked after their young master and hoped he would wake up soon and not be in too bad of a mood.

"Now," Coolbro turned to Trash. "Do you want to be cool?" 

"I don't know. How can you be cool?" Trash asked first.

"Come with me, young man. I will tell you the secrets of being cool."

As Trash and Coolbro went to the back of the plane to discuss how to be cool, Lilly followed them as well. She definitely wouldn't stay with Lomobert and his vasalls, so even though she didn't want to sit through a "cool" lesson, Lomobert was the worst option in every case.

"Young lady, do you also want to be cool?" the man asked her.

"No, don't mind me, I will just watch."

"Young lady, the secrets I'm about to reveal are not easily shared. Please step away."

Lilly was about to go away until Trash suddenly spoke, "It's fine. She is my trusted maid. You can let her hear it."

"If it's like that, then we are cool. You can stay and learn."

After finding a somewhat secluded spot on the plane, Coolbro took out another two icepacks and handed them to Trash and Lilly. While the former accepted the icepack with a smile, Lilly reluctantly took the icepack. Better than Lomobert.

"Now the first and most important thing to always being cool is your body temperature. Your body can't get too hot; otherwise, you won't be cool. Someone who sweats cannot be cool. To keep your body cool, these icepacks, or how I call them coolpacks, allow the body to always stay cool. I myself wear these coolpacks all over my body. They are sewn on the inside of all clothes I wear."

Trash put the cooler on his arm and felt little difference; he didn't quite understand the purpose of these coolers. Meanwhile, while thinking that sewn in icepacks would be stupid, Lilly, as she put the icepack on her arm, felt a weird feeling of comfort. Even though it was cold, it felt somewhat soothing on her soft skin.

"I see one of you is not quite understanding while the other is more compatible to be cool. The next step is your mentality. Being cool requires a cool mentality. Nothing lets you brake your composure. Nothing makes you truly agitated. You act with a clear, cool head. Always think about your next move. A cool mentality means to be yourself and not let others change who you want to be, while never getting too high or too low. Here," he threw out a seemingly ordinary iron cube. "This is a puzzle cube to test your affinity with a cool mind. You can try it during our flight.

"And now the third and last step. Most people think this step is not necessary, but despite what I said earlier," he took off his second pair of sunglasses, under which a third pair came into view. "You need to be cool on the outside as well. Meaning that you need to wear a cool outfit all the time. What is cool depends somewhat on your personal style, but there are a few things any really cool person needs. First," he gave the sunglasses he just took off to Lilly. "You always need to wear sunglasses. Sunglasses are one of the most important items for cool people. And never let anyone break them! Secondly, you need a somewhat cool haircut, and you need to dye your hair. And the third thing you need to wear as a cool person is jewelry. At least one necklace and at least one bracelet on each arm. These are the three most important steps to becoming cool. Do you want to become cool?"

Coolbro looked at Trash and Lilly and waited for their response. They looked at each other and, at the same time, said. "No."
