This scene was quite common, but it was usually people of at least 25 years of age who went out in this way.
For those daring to risk their lives in Eternity, it was usually at this age that they reached a superhuman stage in terms of recovery speed.
But obviously Maxime was only an 18 or 19 year-old high-school student, hence the surprise of the onlookers.
Ding!
As Maxime crossed the threshold of the hospital door, his watch chimed.
Soon a text appeared in front of him.
[Report to the host that all mercenaries have recovered and are ready to fight].
Maxime smiled slightly at this news and it reassured him.
After all, he'd clearly seen his men die in front of him, so even though he knew they'd be resurrected in less than 24 hours, he'd never seen a resurrection with his own eyes.
Who knows, maybe there were special conditions for success?
But obviously, even if there were, his men weren't affected.
Looking at the sun above him, Maxime guessed it was around 9am, so he was simply planning to go to class.
"Jona's going to meet Mum at home, ask her to help teach you your lessons and you tell her to look up the school curriculum on the internet so you're not behind your classmates."
"But big brother, do you think I should stay at home forever from now on?" asked Jona worriedly.
"No, I'll be taking care of everything soon. Not only will you be going to school, but you'll be going to the best schools in the world," Maxime reassured her with a confident smile.
Jona's eyes filled with stars as he exclaimed:
"All right, big brother! I know you're going to kick ass at the competition!"
. "Tear it up? Yeah, I'm gonna kick ass." Maxime found the expression funny before nodding with a menacing smile, although it disappeared the next moment as if it were an illusion.
As Jona returned to the family home, Maxime headed first for a clothes store, then quietly exited under the strange eyes of the store assistant.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the school gate without a hitch.
"It would seem that the Olifer family knows that it would take either a very powerful man to threaten me or a squadron of elite men, but in either case it would require too much effort," Maxime analyzed calmly, hands in his pockets as he crossed the main entrance to his school.
"When numbers and quality come together, it really makes for explosive development at the very beginning of Eternity."
"Nox Limit is truly a demonic talent. Even if the patriarch Olifer were standing in front of me, he could hardly kill me with so many elite mercenaries under my command."
"That's just the beginning, a really strong man could still easily kill me, there are also these mysterious knights who could pose a threat as well as several other strange phenomena."
"Eternity is a world full of possibilities and mysteries."
"Incidentally, I wonder if I get the knight method can I become one? What about my mercenaries, would that be possible? It's a shame that in high school it's an area we don't talk about."
As various thoughts raced through Maxime's mind, he arrived at his classroom door.
Behind the door, he could hear his foreign language teacher speaking in piran.
Without knocking, he gently opened the door and calmly walked through.
All eyes in the class were on him.
Admiration, jealousy, doubt, various emotions ran through the class.
But Maxime only glanced at his classmates before looking at his teacher, then said simply:
"I'm sorry I'm late, Professor, but I couldn't come earlier.
"That's all right, Maxime, go and take your seat," replied the teacher with a slight smile.
"Thank you professor."
Maxime was slightly taken aback, for normally this teacher would dismiss any student arriving late, which was why he didn't want to knock before entering.
But moving on, he glanced quickly at Samuel, who was making a dynamic hand gesture.
Maxime walked over to his best friend and quietly settled into his chair as the teacher resumed his lecture.
"So I was saying that it was very important when communicating with piran soldiers that you combine your words with gestures, otherwise your words could mean totally different things."
"Indeed, piran language is a mixture of gestural and written speech, so really pay attention to this..."
Seeing that the course was interesting, Maxime looked at Samuel and said:
"How are you Sam? Could you pass me a sheet of paper and a pencil?"
Samuel opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in a whisper:
"Dude you come to class like a flower and the first thing you ask me for is a sheet of paper and a pencil?"
"Yeah, what's the big deal?" retorted Maxime with curious eyes.
"I guess that's to be expected since you were unconscious." Samuel tapped his forehead lightly.
But after that a broad smile was seen on his face as he exclaimed still in a whisper:
"Dude, you're famous!"
Maxime looked surprised, then asked, also in a whisper:
"What do you mean I've become famous?
Samuel quickly took out his phone, went to TokTik and typed on the search bar: "Today, I've decided to kill my first invader!
Maxime glanced curiously at Samuel's phone until the page loaded, then directly displayed the first video.
The title read "Part 1/4: Today I decided I would kill my first invader."
Just below it, the video launched as a Piran invader appeared in a wide shot.
The viewpoint of the video was from the balcony of one of the neighboring houses, with an excellent view of the street.
The Piran soldier was emerging from a burning house as it collapsed in on itself.
In his right hand, he was visibly dragging a human woman with disconcerting ease.
The Piran soldier exclaimed with a playful smile:
"Oh my, it's busy in here!
Samuel didn't dare turn on the sound of the video, so Maxime simply read the subtitles that appeared.
At the same time, Maxime applied slight pressure to his hand, causing the young woman's head to explode.
As the video zoomed out, the number of civilians in the vicinity of Private Piran became apparent.
Maxime recognized the scene - after all, he was there.
A man stepped forward from the crowd as armor covered him and a sword appeared in his hand.
"Run away, all of you! I'll see to delaying this abomination until help arrives!"
The subtitles were written in an impressive font that sent shivers down Maxime's spine, so appropriate was it to the situation.
They were shivers of admiration for the man's courage.
But after only a short exchange and confrontation, the man was punched in the abdomen and flew 3 meters while vomiting blood.
But soon a young man with blond hair and blue eyes emerged from the crowd.
The video camera began to focus on him, on the alien and on what appeared to be a middle-aged woman and a little boy who were shouting at the young man.
But the young man remained indifferent as epic music appeared in the video.
Samuel had turned up the sound just a little, just enough to hear the music.
Then the young man of impressive courage moved his lips slightly, at the same time subtitles appeared on the screen:
"Today, I decided that I would kill my first invader."
The video ended with this as the app advised to go to the video "Part 2/4: Today I decided I would kill my first invader."
Samuel turned off the phone at this point, then looked at Maxime and said:
"Everything you did 3 days ago has been recorded by various people, from almost annihilating your mercenaries, to rescuing the human soldiers and protecting your family. Unfortunately, the man who shot you had his face blurred on all the videos."
Samuel looked at his best friend in admiration, then delivered some shocking news:
"You've become a role model for the future younger generation, and even famous veteran mercenaries have shared your exploits."
Maxime simply nodded in response.
"What's that all about?"
Samuel looked slightly disappointed at his best friend's reaction.
Maxime smiled slightly and asked him slowly in a whisper:
"No, could you please pass me a sheet of paper and a pencil?"
