After a dinner with the whole family and Matilda, Jesse left the dining hall and looked at his broken phone with a frown.
The screen was cracked and unresponsive at times.
"Wait a moment!" Matilda left the dining hall in a hurry and followed after him, looking like she wanted to have a talk.
"Yes?" Jesse slowed his walking speed so that Matilda could catch up to him without having to run with her old bones.
"You seem to be impatient to return." Matilda chuckled after catching up. "I heard from my son that you have spent a lot of time recently on Martial Online."
"Yeah, I am sorry." Jesse replied, slightly embarrassed.
"It's alright." Matilda chuckled. "That Reality Market has spiraled the world into chaos. The school dropout rate is at an all-time high, and many companies are having more and more available jobs with every passing day."
"That bad, huh?" Jesse asked.
