While everyone watched expectantly as the last survivor of the group gave the last blows to be able to kill the final BOSS of the game and thus obtain the achievement they were missing...
-Garcia's last name! The math teacher shouted to the student who was sleeping in his class.
-The boy woke up and began to look around for danger. Being half-asleep and not noticing the teacher behind him, he lay back down on his desk.
His classmates, seeing his brazen action, could hardly stand to laugh any longer.
Before the boy's head had even touched the table, the teacher gave him a light smack with the book he was holding.
-Leo Garcia leaves the classroom and waits by the entrance until the bell rings," said the teacher with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
Leo gets up and stands for half a second to try to clear his mind, and then leaves the classroom.
Shit, last night sure took its toll. Luckily Professor Adams was one of their own, otherwise they would have called my parents.
Don't think of Professor Adams as a super strict teacher. He was the guild leader-founder in the mmorpg that Leo and his friends played.
'Cutting distance the distance between teacher and student' said Adams, even though his account was always at the top of the rankings.
-Everything is for the achievements- Leo smiled after remembering the late night they had to complete the remaining achievement and thus complete the catalog of challenges.
Clang clang clang clang!
The bell that marked the end of classes rang.
Leo entered the classroom and like all his classmates began to put his supplies in his backpack.
Leo, wait for me because I have to talk to you.- The teacher told Leo who was about to leave the classroom.
Just when all the boys left, Leo asked. -What's up boss?-
-Tch, I told you not to call me that at school, kid. We have to talk about your results in the last exams. Your grades barely passed. Why don't you stop playing a little and start studying? With your intelligence you just have to dedicate a little more time to it, nothing more. -Adams told him, thinking that if he could put the dedication he gives into the games he could achieve great things.
-Professor, you already know what's happening to me. I try to study a little and end up falling asleep from boredom.
-You cannot expect that everything you do in life has an immediate reward. Think about the future. At least think that with a good study you will be able to find a job more easily.
-Okay teacher, I'll give you a chance. I'm leaving, have a good day.- Leo responded as he walked towards the exit.
Adams looked sadly at the boy as he left.
Leo had a problem. Since he was a child he was obsessed with RPG games. He loved the feeling of being able to see his own progress by doing each action. From leveling up his stats, upping his weapon or skill proficiencies and above all, being able to finish the game by completing all the achievements there are.
This crazy way of playing led him to create a blog on the Internet, where he shared all the completed achievements in the games he could play. Since he did not have one of the best computers, nor the money to buy expensive games. The readers of the blog used to make some donations, which Leo used to be able to buy a game that they had decided by popular vote.
Leo left school and walked home. It was not a long trip, much less for Leo who could not wait to get there and share on the blog the entire journey he went through to complete the game the night before.
On a street further ahead, they were unloading some reflective glass plates from a transport truck.
While two young men were unloading one of the mirrors, one of them said, "Hey Frank, do you think the sun's reflection can set something on fire?"
"I think so, but the reflection should be more concentrated. Just keep quiet and pay attention, otherwise we might have to pay for one of these if it breaks."
"What game should I play now?" Leo asked himself as he waited for the traffic light before crossing.
When the traffic light turned red, Leo began to cross the street without looking to the sides.
-I guess it's the games that were left in the previous draw...-
At the same time a taxi that was coming at high speed arrived at the intersection.
-Shit, what the hell is that light up ahead?-said the taxi driver while concentrating his sight to be able to see the traffic lights and he slowed down little by little.
-I think a meteor is falling-said the passenger who seemed half drunk.
-Whoa, you almost remembered where you were going... GOD!! Where did that kid come from?.-The taxi driver braked suddenly with all he could, but it wasn't enough.
Buumm!!
- Fuck, fuck, someone call the ambulance. Boy, it was just a little bump, please don't die.- While the taxi driver got out and ran over to see how the young man was.
-Shit Frank, I told you these mirrors were too much. Come on, come on, I'll call the ambulance.
While everything was happening, besides the drunk, no one noticed what looked like a meteorite falling from the sky directly towards the boy.
