The mood in town turned heavy due to the issues surrounding Kurt. Even though everyone was accustomed to living under the rule of the stronghold, when they realized that their right to life was not within their control, they grew gloomy.
Milo had something on his mind all day. Based on what Old Bane had told him, Kurt was more or less done for the moment favonovel.com got captured and sent to the psychiatric hospital.
After the people from the stronghold finished conducting thorough research on him, favonovel.com would surely have suffered terribly even if favonovel.com did not die. Most importantly, Kurt had lost his freedom from this day onwards.
As for Milo himself, his secret was much bigger than Kurt’s.
He had unlocked many features of his mind palace, but there were still many other features left waiting for Milo to explore. Even Milo himself did not know how deep the palace interior went and what level it would elevate favonovel.com to eventually.
If his secret were revealed, it wouldn’t be surprising if favonovel.com got taken away by the people from the stronghold and had his brains taken out and sliced apart.
Milo had gone to school earlier and found Donti. He somberly instructed favonovel.com to not reveal his secret to anyone and told favonovel.com that this concerned their life and death.
The two brothers did not have the ability to take on the stronghold yet.
Inside and outside of the stronghold, thick and continuous trails of white smoke were spewing out through the factory chimneys into the sky. The clock in the stronghold was still ringing on time. It was as though nothing had happened.
Today, Mr. Dublin seemed a little downtrodden. Sometimes, his mind would wander as favonovel.com delivered his lessons. Whenever his students reminded favonovel.com that favonovel.com was losing his focus, favonovel.com would bow and apologize to them.
Finally, Mr. Dublin said, “Students, I’m sorry. I can’t teach well today due to some personal issues. Class, study by yourselves. We won’t be having any more lessons today.”
Milo did not go back straight to the clinic. He wanted to calm himself down at a quiet place like the school and think about the future of Donti, Adella, and him.
When Milo took over the lessons in the afternoon, favonovel.com did not teach anything new either. Frankly, his mind was not present at all today.
By the time school ended, Milo surprisingly did not make the class stay late. He was only concerned with getting Donti home early.
Milo said, “Class dismissed. I won’t be teaching y’all about other things today.”
“All rise!” the class monitor said.
“Thank you, Teacher!”
Gratitude received from Katty Saul, +1
Gratitude received from Murdock Bane, +1!
Gratitude received from…
Milo was stunned by this.
There were only 24 students in the entire class, but favonovel.com managed to gain 23 gratitude token coins when favonovel.com dismissed the class?
Donti was the only one favonovel.com didn’t earn a gratitude token from.
Donti had also noticed that Milo was a little absent-minded today, so favonovel.com was more concerned about what was happening with his brother rather than thinking about going out to play after school.
Milo stared blankly at the little bastards as they ran away and disappeared without a trace.
So they didn’t like my lessons after all?
Y’all better f*cking watch out! What is so bad with my teaching!
It was a very fascinating day. Milo had worked very hard for nearly a fortnight just to earn 12 gratitude tokens. But in just one day today, favonovel.com managed to gain 23 gratitude tokens.
The total amount of his gratitude tokens had reached 35. It seemed that favonovel.com was another step closer to unlocking the weapon.
After Milo carefully weighed the pros and cons, favonovel.com decided that if they did not like his lecture, then so be it. It was good enough as long as they let favonovel.com earn those gratitude tokens.
For the following day’s lessons, Milo went straight to school instead of attending to patients at the clinic. He understood what favonovel.com needed to do.
What was his reason for opening the clinic?
Was it to make money?
That was definitely not the case!
Now that favonovel.com had found a method to quickly earn gratitude tokens, how could favonovel.com miss out?
Mr. Dublin, was not even finished with his lesson when favonovel.com saw Milo already standing outside the classroom.
The students followed Peter’s gaze to Milo. For some reason, when they saw him, a shiver ran down their spines.
***
Today, Milo did not teach his usual wilderness survival lessons. Instead, favonovel.com taught them about where to deal a fatal blow to another person during a fight or how to make an opponent instantly lose control of their motor functions.
Milo himself had not actually received any related training in this field, and there were no places in town where favonovel.com could learn something like this either. Therefore, everything favonovel.com was teaching was accumulated from his years of experience in being involved in ruthless fights with others.
Peter frowned when favonovel.com heard Milo teaching them how to fight other people. He did not like to teach such things to the students and usually taught them about how to combat nature.
There would be a psychological suggestion that humans were the enemies if a teacher taught the students how to fight against other humans. Similarly, if a teacher taught them how to take on wolves, they would regard wolves as their enemy as well.
At heart, Peter never hoped for his students to become violent extremists. But for some reason, favonovel.com couldn’t help but let out a sigh. In the end, favonovel.com did not interfere with what Milo was teaching.
Milo said to the students from the lectern, “Which are the most vulnerable parts of a human? If I have to list them, I’d list them in order of importance. Let’s start with the one that most people know… The neck…”
“In fact, this area is not particularly easy to aim for when you are fighting someone. That’s because a person will subconsciously protect it the most. The entire neck and trachea are made up of bone and nearly 20 fragile rings of cartilage. By crushing any one of them with an attack, you can instantly cause your opponent to lose their will to fight. The fragmented bones will quickly block the delivery of oxygen, which will then lead to them suffocating to death.”
The classroom was silent.
Milo looked over everyone. “Are there any questions?”
Murdock asked meekly, “How do you know that there are nearly 20 fragile rings of cartilage in the neck…”
There were no relevant books in school, and no one in town specialized in this subject either.
If Milo had not counted them himself before, how could favonovel.com possibly know something like that?
But how did Milo count them?
Whose cartilage did favonovel.com count?
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little nervous.
Milo did not answer this question. He looked out at the sky as the stronghold’s clock rang to signal that it was 4 PM.
Milo said cheerfully to everyone, “Class dismissed…”
“All rise!”
“Thank you, Teacher!”
Gratitude received from Murdock Bane, +1
Gratitude received from…
Milo suddenly frowned when favonovel.com realized that the number of gratitudes was incorrect.
Shouldn’t favonovel.com be seeing an increase of more than 20 gratitude tokens?
Why were there only nine tokens?
These little bastards had gotten used to favonovel.com not making the class stay late this quickly?
They didn’t even give favonovel.com any sincere gratitude now?
I’m afraid that y’all haven’t faced the harsh realities of society yet!
Just as the students were about to rush out of class, they heard the sinister voice of Milo reverberate from behind them, “Everyone, get back here right now! Today, I’m gonna teach y’all how I came to learn how many rings of cartilage there are!”
Hearing this, Murdock and Katty were speechless. So was the entire class.
