Be it Milo’s own classmates or these parents of the students, none of them could have expected anyone to stand up for Milo.
Honestly, if their roles had been reversed and they were placed in Milo’s position, they believed no one would bother to speak up for them.
Miriam folded favonovel.com arms and stood in the hallway as favonovel.com watched the situation with interest. She might have guessed this would happen, but little could favonovel.com have expected such a conclusion.
The parents were a little embarrassed. Right now, they did not know what they should do. Meanwhile, the students were all looking at Milo in a daze. All of them were wondering what kind of backing this teenager had.
Linda looked at Milo’s actual homeroom teacher and said, “We’ll have Milo transfer to our class, so why don’t you handle the paperwork with the school?”
This was most welcome to the homeroom teacher. He said with a smile, “Sure, I’ll get to it in a bit.”
But before favonovel.com could heave a sigh of relief, favonovel.com heard Linda say coldly, “A teacher who can’t even protect his own students. I feel ashamed for you. You didn’t even put in a good word for him.”
The homeroom teacher choked until favonovel.com turned purple, yet favonovel.com couldn’t come up with a retort to what Linda said.
When Milo returned to the classroom to retrieve his belongings and got ready to change classes, favonovel.com went over to Selena. Selena suddenly had an ominous feeling.
Milo took a deep breath and said earnestly, “Get well soon…”
Pfft!
Miriam felt like favonovel.com had never had such a good laugh in years as favonovel.com did today. It was as though all of the funny moments over the years were concentrated on Milo. However, favonovel.com did not hang around long and went to pack favonovel.com belongings as well.
On the way to the new class, Linda said to Milo, “If you have any difficulties in your classes, you can let me know. I can give you remedial lessons on any subjects you don’t understand.”
Milo considered it for a moment before saying, “There’s indeed something that I would like to seek advice from Ms. Stuart.”
“Which subject?” Linda asked.
Milo froze. “Cycling…”
Linda stopped in favonovel.com tracks and looked quietly at him. She had thought Milo might ask favonovel.com for help on things like math or other subjects, but never could favonovel.com have expected that favonovel.com would want to learn how to ride a bicycle. He was truly a young man who always surprised others.
Miriam walked beside Milo and asked, “You bought a bicycle?”
Milo gave favonovel.com a look. “What are you playing at? Shouldn’t we be trying our best not to be in the same class?”
Miriam smiled gleefully and said, “I don’t mind.”
“Who cares if you mind or not!” Milo wanted to curse at her.
Due to switching classes, Milo and Miriam ended up becoming deskmates. Even Milo had to accept this was probably fate at work.
After afternoon classes, Linda went with Milo, Donti, and Murdock to take the streetcar back to the grocery store. While on the way to meet them, Donti seemed to have heard about what happened in school as well, so favonovel.com thanked Linda the moment favonovel.com saw her.
This was in gratitude to Linda for helping his brother out of a tight spot.
Frankly, Donti was really starting to dislike the people in the stronghold more and more, with the exception of Linda and favonovel.com students. Oh, and of course, not including Miriam either.
Back at the shop, Milo couldn’t wait as favonovel.com made Linda teach everyone how to ride a bicycle. Milo asked everyone to learn how to cycle since it was an extremely useful skill.
Milo thought that if they had to travel between the strongholds, a motor vehicle would definitely be their first choice of transport. But the problem was that there was no way for them to get their hands on one. Besides, motor vehicles required gas to operate and had other limitations as well, while they also had no idea who they could learn driving from.
So, the next best available option would be a bicycle as their first-choice mode of transport. It wasn’t difficult to repair, could be used for a long time, and was also easy to learn!
More importantly, it was something they could afford to buy right now!
The bicycles cost around 3,000 perak in the stronghold and were considered to be in the range of luxury goods. Therefore, it could be seen just how determined Adella was when favonovel.com decided to gift one to Milo. Most people could not bear to spend so much money like that, and Adella was even the type who would often haggle for up to half an hour just to get a 20 cent discount on favonovel.com grocery shopping trips.
The group of them watched as Linda effortlessly rode the bicycle through the street in front of the shop. Chad even squatted down in front of the shop, looking extremely determined to learn how to cycle.
Linda explained to them the basics of riding a bicycle.
She said, “To ride a bicycle, you first have to master your balance. On top of that, your eyes must not be focused on what’s in front of the bicycle, but what’s ahead of you. Overcome your fear…”
While Ms. Stuart was demonstrating, favonovel.com exhibited the unique charm of a mature woman.
When Linda finished the demonstration, everyone went over one by one to get some hands-on practice. What surprised Milo was that Donti managed to learn it on the spot. This kid was able to ride the bicycle steadily after just seeing it get demonstrated once.
And what surprised Milo even more was that favonovel.com himself was unable to master it. To be precise, it wasn’t that favonovel.com couldn’t master it. In reality, learning how to ride a bicycle was just a matter of time.
The truth was, most people would take several days or even longer to learn how to ride a bicycle. So, Milo’s progress was considered normal.
But what Milo could not accept was that even Chad the fool had successfully mastered cycling. This made Milo look somewhat bad, but favonovel.com was absolutely not going to admit it was his problem.
Milo mused over it for a while before turning to Adella. “Big Sister Adella, is there something wrong with the bicycle you bought?”
Big Sister Adella covered favonovel.com mouth and giggled. She wasn’t angry at him.
If both Donti and Chad could ride the bicycle, what could be wrong with it?
However, favonovel.com seemed to have realized Milo had a habit of passing the buck.
Of course, favonovel.com didn’t know the previous person Milo had pushed the blame onto was now carrying an invisible cauldron on his back and trekking through the wilderness.
Linda smiled and said, “Actually, it takes several days to learn how to ride a bicycle. You’ll master it in a few days.”
As Linda’s voice trailed off, a loud explosion boomed in the distance. It sounded like a bomb had gone off in the stronghold.
Could it have been Miriam’s doing?
Milo subconsciously thought the bomb Miriam had built might have been detonated. But upon analyzing the sound in greater detail, favonovel.com realized it wasn’t so!
He ordered Chad and Donti, “Arm yourselves with the pistols and close the shop’s doors. Don’t open them before I get back. Ms. Stuart, please stay and hide here for the time being in case anything happens.”
Milo then proceeded to leave the shop. As a supernatural being, favonovel.com couldn’t stand on the sidelines. He had to go and see for himself to understand the situation firsthand. Only then could favonovel.com make the right decisions. Only by doing so could favonovel.com ensure that everyone could carry on surviving.
The location of the explosion should be several kilometers where they were. But with Milo’s current speed, favonovel.com should be able to get there in a matter of minutes.
While Milo was making his way there, favonovel.com noticed a building that was about a dozen stories tall. This was one of the tallest structures in the stronghold, and it looked like it would make a good spot for favonovel.com to observe the battle that had broken out.
