"Luna... Please stop. I don't have a condom."
"It didn't matter when we showered."
"I'm having déjà vu," Lincoln remembers. Those were the same words Lynn said to him.
Luna went up and down faster. "Oh yeah, oh yeah, baby. Ahhhhhhh! Luna hugged Lincoln as he inserted his seed inside her. "I could be addicted to this."
Please, don't... do…" Lincoln could barely speak. The effort was greater than what he put into his exam. "Do you know that this is a legal violation?"
"This is for the judge to decide." Luna presses Lincoln and puts his pants back on. Just in time for their family's intervention.
"We looked everywhere, but we couldn't find him..." Rita sees Lincoln sitting on the couch. "Young man, you'd better have a good explanation."
"Where have you been? You made us anxious." Mr. Lynn looked annoyed.
Lincoln could not tell his parents the truth. Dracoviam's fight was a secret. "I'm sorry, I was in a job interview." Technically, that was correct.
"Job interview?" his parents asked in unison.
"Yeah… You see, you remember Professor Venomous?"
"The man who drove you and Lola?"
"Yes, Mom, the same guy. Well, on the way back home, he offered me a job, and I told him at first I couldn't because I wouldn't be in the country for long. But after knowing I was going to move here and after what happened to our house, I thought it would be good to contribute something.
The Loud parents, turning from annoyance to being touched by their son's intentions, proceeded to embrace him.
"Son, you didn't have to; your father and I can take care of that."
"I know mom. But I want to help you in any way I can."
"Well, in that case, I am very proud of you, son. You really have become a man. And back to the topic. How did the interview go?"
"I got it; I got the job."
Rita applauded excitedly. "It's great, honey. And what's the job?"
Lincoln was trapped, not really thinking about what he would say if they asked him. "Oh, the job. Yeah, uh, I'm the assistant. I'm Professor Venomous's assistant."
"Assistant? It's a very high position if it's open," said Mr. Loud.
"The previous one turned out to be a corporate spy, so he fired him. I think he trusts me because I'm blind."
"Well, anyway, I'm happy with your first job."
"Thank you, mom." He feels like someone is climbing on him. It was Lola who hit her ear with her brother's pants. "Lola? What are you doing?" asked the boy.
"I hear money on you, and there's a lot."
"Can you still do that? Some things never change. But yeah, I have money. Professor Venomous gave me part of my down payment." Lincoln stretches out his jacket and pulls out an envelope of money.
Lola takes the money out of the envelope and runs her thumb over the bills as she listens. The girl's face turned into an expression of extreme astonishment when she finished counting. It's twenty thousand dollars."
The family was shocked, and Mr. Lynn had four simultaneous heart attacks.
"Yes, the job pays off well." Lincoln takes the money and gives part of it to his parents. "Take. Here's ten thousand dollars. It should be enough to buy the raw materials to rebuild the house."
Rita takes money between tears for the great heart of her son. "Thank you, darling," the lady said, hugging her son more tightly than she did when he returned from Canada.

It was already midnight, but Lincoln could not sleep, not only because he was watching in case any of his sisters would look for him to do it with him, but because now he had the responsibility to hide it from his family at all costs.
"Tomorrow I'm going to have my first fight. Oh my God, I'm not sure accepting was such a good idea anymore. No, I'm doing this for my family. Even if I could quit, I wouldn't. Mom and Dad are counting on me now, especially Lisa. I'll take care of my family no matter what."

While in another part of town, in a building similar to the one Lincoln was in but not the same."
In the square were several men who looked like fighters. They were all covered in blood, and their bodies were twisted at unnatural angles. Their bones pierced their skin, and many of them appeared to have disfigured faces from the blows.
In the middle of the square was a muscular man, two meters tall, with nails so long that they were ten centimeters thick and a face so scarred that it made him look like an undercooked scarecrow.
His name was Tadeusz Stirch, nicknamed "The Nightmare". Aschino was sentenced to death five times and was the coach of the University of the Red Roses.
Tadeusz suffered cuts in the major veins of his body, such as under his arm, neck, and abdomen, as well as multiple fractures to his ribs and skull. But the worst thing was his chest piercing, which showed the other side. Tadeusz staggered and then fell to the ground. In front of him was a fifteen-year-old Asian boy with muscles similar to Lincoln's. It was Hideki Kurohana himself.
The dean of the school approached the body to see it, then looked at the boy. "This guy survived being shot, and you kill him with one blow. Well, ten if we count the ones you gave him all over his body."
The boy shook his hand to remove the blood. "I apologize for that. I wanted to have a little fun with the former."
"Is that so? I see. Do you want to represent my school in the Drakovium battles?"
"Yes, ma'am. From my point of view, you have no candidate."
"Tadeus was promising, but for all the money in the world, I didn't want to have a serial killer in my school. Although, I don't know if it would be better or worse with you here."
"I can assure you there will be no problem with me."
"I'll have your word for it. By the way, what's your name?"
"Oh. Excuse me. My name is Kurohana Hideki."
"Very good, Hideki. You're welcome."
"It would be my pleasure to work for you, madam...."
"Maya. Maya Landrose."
"Miss Landrose. It's such an honor to work for you." Hideki smiles as he thinks. "Wait for me, my beloved god. Soon I shall be worthy of your judgment."
